 Hello and welcome to yet another episode of this week in KDE and GNOME, where I talk about the latest stuff that happened in KDE and GNOME based on this week in KDE blog post by Netgram and this week in GNOME blog post hosted on the GNOME website. I think those are pretty nice sources to take inspiration from. So let's start off with the KDE side of things. Usually there is a nice improvement to discover, you know the application to download apps and stuff. Lots of people say that discover is not very polished and stuff like that, however discover actually improved a lot in the last year or two years and now it's getting the more time passes better and better. This is yet another improvement in that direction. Now whenever there is an error message, instead of showing that into a very little grey box on the bottom as it did before, now there is an actual dialog that shows the complete error right in front of the screen and gives you the option to close it immediately rather than having to wait for the time out of the little grey box on the bottom. That is a significant step forward for the usability of actually getting errors in discover. Then let's get into a couple of new features, firstly the system monitor or any applet that has the same name apparently can now detect and monitor power usage for NVIDIA GPUs. Also the weather applet that shows you, you know, the weather has now an option to include the temperature, the current temperature as a little batch overlay on top of the icon. Similarly to what was that, the battery, the battery also has the same batch overlay that shows you optionally how much battery is left. I also made a merge request to have the same very batch for the notification applet to show you how many Android notifications you have but that is currently ongoing, like it hasn't been finished yet so it's not here yet but it's something that could land in the future. When you're scrolling through ocular documents, ocular is the PDF reader if you didn't know. The scrolling speed is actually much faster and allows you to, you know, feel that like you're properly scrolling through a document like you would in a web page or anything else really. So that is also quite a big step forward for ocular. What we had so far was not optimal. Another improvement to discover is the task progress page up until now for some reason the background of the little pop-up that shows you how much like the progress of each task that discovery is running like installing various apps, the background of that was blue or any color that you set the accent color and that actually made very hard to see the progress bar which is also blue or any accent color you have. Now it's white so it's much easier to actually see how much progress is going on. Finally, always on discover because I told you it's getting better if you're on a metered connection that is, as an example, if you're paying for data so you have some data limit that you don't want to cross, if you have that kind of connection discovered won't any longer automatically check for updates because that would waste your limited data. Other significant backfixes, when you change the display layout and then you open up console up until now and this is actually a bug I run into very often, the size of the console window would be extremely small like extremely small. You knew that it's impossible to use, so small that it's impossible to use. Now that has been fixed and it will open up at a normal size. There is also a fix to Latidoc to show you that is not completely that and that has been done by David Redondo, sorry. So we got early thanking for continuing the support of Latidoc. In the latest Kitty Plasma there was this bug for which applets opened through Latidoc opened up in the wrong spot but now after this fix they still open at the correct place. As always you can still go through the complete list this was like highlights and stuff. You can also see all of the others name in the link in the description but let's switch to the GNOME site and see what they are doing. Firstly we now have a more useful progress bar if you're downloading stuff in Fedora Silver Blue thanks to the progress supporting to RPMOS3 and then we have the release of dynamic wallpapers version 0.1.0 which is a third party project but it's interesting nonetheless. So it's a simple application that helps you make a dynamic wallpaper that changes if you're using light or dark mode. By the way if this outputs the wallpaper file icon I guess this could be used in Kitty Plasma as well because the format for light and dark adaptive wallpapers as far as I know is the same one as GNOME. So yes this is a GNOME app but it might be useful in Kitty as well I'm not sure I even tried I probably should. This version that has been just released brings a new clean design that nicely blends with the GNOME design it lets you give a name to the wallpaper and then has just this create button that will generate the wallpaper. The application is available currently on FlatHub and AUR if you're an ARCH ARCH ARCH. There is an update to an extension for Nautilus code Nautilus code that allows that actually sorry adds a context menu entry to open up code into text editor such as VS code GNOME builder and so on and this latest version adds support for Nautilus 43 as well. However this to do this they had to drop Nautilus 42 so if you're running Nautilus 42 don't update if you're running 43 do update. Finally there is another announcement of a new application in the GNOME community again this is a third-party application but GNOME I think does a very nice job at making sure that even third-party applications are all in the same ecosystem. This is an application made by the Avil Skeleton which I think you might have seen because they also contributed a bit if I'm not wrong to battles and the application is Upscaler. There you give it an image you give it a target resolution to upscale to and it uses a real A S R G N N C N I tried real A S R G A N N C N N Vulcan that is used to actually do the upscaling and enhancing of image is images. Again this project is available as Upscaler on flat up. I've also mentioned in my channel previously the new application in GNOME that's called MONEY and there's a new update of that one as well which brings some new functionalities and as an example sorry now we have groups and you're able to associate a certain transition to a group. MONEY will automatically use the local currency symbol as set by your system and there's more translation support. These videos sometimes turn into a let's see how hard is this to pronounce for me clothes thing. There is also a new version of battles which is announced still by the Avil Skeleton so I was correct into saying that they also contribute to that project. This brings a complete redesign of the details view. Again if you're interested for more information to read all of the full changelog and stuff as always you can check in the video description and you will see the link to this blog post. As a very last thing there's also a new version still on flat hub of Bootswain. Bootswain I think it's pronounced which brings the ability to customize buttons ordered just by drag and dropping them. The description of the application is I guiding a hand when navigating through streams. What is this? It's to customize the stream deck okay you can make sense make sense. Yeah now you can just drag and drop the buttons in the to organize them on the string deck layout. So thanks everybody for following and again check out the links in the description and see you tomorrow with yet another video.
