KDE Plasma 6.7 Beta is now available!

The beta version of KDE Plasma v6.7 is now available for developers and curious users to try out. This allows users to get an early look at the upcoming version of KDE Plasma, which brings new features and improvements to existing features.

The official announcement states that the beta version of KDE Plasma 6.7 includes two new modules:

• plasma-bigscreen
• union

This version of KDE Plasma uses the new styling engine that is currently under development, Union. This year’s update for Union states that the default input format has been changed from SVG to CSS stylesheets, considering that creating and editing styles were easier with SVG in the first glance until complexities appeared.

This is a promising change that will be integrated with the final release of KDE Plasma 6.7 to ensure that the design of UI elements, such as buttons, combo boxes, and checkboxes, look cleaner and more consistent than before. In this beta version of KDE Plasma, the Union styling is in technical preview.

Alongside the Union theming style is the Plasma Bigscreen, which is made by KDE, and is an open-source TV interface for Linux. This launcher provides you with a TV-friendly interface, which allows you to use it comfortably on your television. It also supports multiple input methods, such as your keyboard and mouse, your TV controller, and your phone.

Not only that, but Plasma Bigscreen allows you to customize it to make your TV truly yours. You’ll be able to customize your system and install your favorite applications in your heart’s content.

KDE Plasma 6.7 brings press-and-hold for diacritics and symbols

KDE Plasma 6.7 saw an exciting development this week, because a special feature has landed to those who use diacritics and symbols, such as diaeresis, fractions, elliptical marks, em dashes, and en dashes.

The plasma-keyboard module hosts this feature, and you can turn it on by opening the system settings and navigating to Keyboard > Virtual Keyboard. After that, you can press and hold a key to get those symbols.

The author who wrote this feature, Kristen McWilliam, has stated in his blog article that KDE Plasma 6.7 now offers you an option to write diacritics with just your physical keyboard. The feature allows users to long-press a key on their physical keyboard to get a list of symbols that are related to the key.

This feature was inspired by mobile keyboards found in today’s phones. Once you get a list of symbols, you can write an alternative symbol using one of the following methods:

• Pressing the associated keyboard number key shown below the option
• Clicking on the option with the mouse
• Using the arrow keys to navigate to the option and pressing Enter

The diacritics and other symbols that are shown differ, depending on the system language that is used. You can find a list of mappings here.

Ooh, it looks like Plasma Bigscreen is aiming for (re-)release with the Plasma 6.7 update in June 2026.

Plasma 6.7 lets you switch dark mode on/off easily

Plasma 6.7 has just recently received new features and other improvements to make your desktop smoother and more stable. Plasma 6.7 is currently in development, with Plasma 6.6 having closed its doors on new features, as this blog article stated. Now, new features have emerged to Plasma 6.7, and one of those features let’s you switch dark mode on and off easily.

There is a new settings toggle that was recently added to the Brightness and Color settings in the settings panel on your taskbar. You can now enable and disable dark mode without having to open the full system settings by clicking on a switch toggle.

This saves time, as you don’t have to open the full settings application every time you want to switch between light and dark modes on your desktop. For example, if you turned Dark Mode on, the theme changes to Breeze Dark, and if you turned it off, the theme changes to Breeze. By default, the light theme is used as a default.

KDE Plasma 6.7 also gives you an option to assign a specific key to push to talk. This means that all microphones are muted until you press a key and hold it down, into which all microphones are unmuted. This means that you don’t have to mute your microphone by yourself once you finish talking; you just release the key.
