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.
Other changes that are introduced with KDE Plasma 6.7 can be seen here.

Updated ‘ktown’ packages, and a heads-up
Time for a KDE Plasma6 package refresh. On KDE's announcement page, the releases of KDE Gear 26.04.1 and Frameworks 6.26.0 were announced yesterday and today. Since OS packagers have early access to the source tarballs, I had everything compiled and ready for days and could simply push everything into my 'ktown' repository today.

KDE 6_26.04 for Slackware-current (almost free of Qt5)
To be honest, I was waiting for a move from Pat. But I got restless, Pat is otherwise occupied for a few days so I took the plunge. What I am talking about is of course packaging KDE Gear 26.04.0 for Slackware. The latest release of Applications and KDEPIM is nicknamed the "KDE at 30" edition because KDE is around for 30 years already (!).

KDE 6_26.03 for Slackware-current
Yesterday evening, KDE released their Frameworks 6.24.0 and taking advantage of the moment and even before morning coffee, I uploaded the Slackware packages for these new Frameworks.
Alongside with these Frameworks, I built a package for the third Beta of Krita 6.0.0 – the KDE drawing tool will finally be available as a Qt6 based application with proper Wayland support.

@[email protected] я всё-таки решилась измучить ИИ-шки, но написала свой вариант виджета для KDE PLASMA 6
"Домашняя кошка" 😸🐈
принцип тот же - только когда что-то печатаешь (не важно где) - котик бегает туда-сюда по рабочему столу !
Анимация правда кривоватая всего - использовала всего 2 спрайта - по одному каждый шаг))))
