 Hello and welcome to the 5.26 Plasma release. It has been released, announced and everything let's actually get to all of the features. Just as a quick recap, four months from now we will have Plasma 5.27 and after 5.27, if everything goes well, there should be a new kind of Plasma that actually relies on QT6 which might be called Plasma 6. I've done a video actually going in depth into that yesterday. So check that out if you're interested. This is 5.26. It is mostly a version with backfixes and refinements rather than big features. Plasma 5.25 was very big. So it's actually needed to have some backfixes but nonetheless, there are some new features which I am going to forget about whilst doing the video. Just kidding. Firstly, we have a new wallpaper and I know that sounds particularly exciting. Of course, the wallpaper is this one. This is called Kai. It is from the last wallpaper contest. And although, yeah, it's not very exciting, you know, under the hood, actually behind the scenes, actually managing to find new wallpapers for each Plasma release is not so easy and organizing those contests is not easy either. I organized the second one, so I know. So I'm actually really happy that we managed still to have one beautiful, I gotta say it, wallpaper for each Plasma 5 release. So that is not to be taken for granted. That's it. We do have a new major release for features, sorry, for wallpapers. And that is we finally have adaptive wallpapers and under the hood, they work the same way as the GNOME ones, if I understood this correctly, which means that it should be easy to actually pull them from GNOME to Plasma if you're interested in that. What are adaptive wallpapers? They are wallpapers that change depending on your current theme, dark versus light. As an example, this is an adaptive wallpaper and if we actually go into the colors and change our color into Brisk Dark, you can see that it switches to the dark version of Kai, which is also beautiful and not to be taken for granted. This is dark Kai. You might be asking why the light version of this wallpaper isn't the light version of Kai, but it's the old wallpaper. And that's actually due to the fact that this is still the testing version and during testing we preferred to keep the old wallpaper for the light version, not oil the new wallpaper yet. But you will get an adaptive wallpaper with Kai as the light version, obviously. Then we are live fun. I don't know if you know the game. If you don't know the game, check it out. Well, it's a game where you write things and it produces at the end a GIF. So it's the only GIF I have right now. So I'm using one of these GIFs as a test bench and you can see that it is a wallpaper and yet it is changing, I think, and it's changing. It's a nice feature that wasn't here before. But let's get back to Kai, thank you. Then there's talk about widgets. Here's my panel. Resize the widgets on the panel. This is something that could be done in previous releases, but only using the alt and right click combination that later on became meta and right click. Then it was removed because it was more of a bug than anything. And now it's correctly implemented, which means that if you move the mouse to the corners of a widget, you can see that the mouse actually has the appropriate icon and just by drag and dropping, you can change the kickoff. And you might be wondering why I'm not showing it. And that is because obviously I'm recording this while I'm recording the video. Everything stops working. I'm on a, and you can do that. It's called timer, so let's pick it up. It is a super simple widget. It is literally just a timer. With right click you can set what you would like, by the way, artifacts that you see right now, multi monitor. It has a couple of interesting options. Firstly, you can actually edit what timers you would like to see in the context menu, but you can also choose the two equipment after the timer is completed. As an example, I can do this and now this widget clock a bit here and very big. Then there are two new applications for Plasma Bigscreen. If you don't know what Plasma Bigscreen is, it's plasma, KD Plasma in your television and it's supposed to be used with a remote. Very interesting project. Of course, I will show you the browser. Of course, you know, it's meant for a television. So it doesn't look like it's meant for desktop. Code and navigate the whole UI just using arrows and enter, which of course is what you would expect to have if you have a remote. Interested in Plasma Bigscreen in particular, I've done a video about that going more in depth and showing the various settings and other new ones as well, which is a video player. It's called a Plasma 5.26 beta. So you can check that one out. I'm going to move over onto the last feature, which is day scholar, night scholar, but for days. So what I mean by that, you might that KD Plasma has this functionality called night. What this does is that you filter out the blue light when it's night. So you can actually sleep better in theory. And in its configuration that you can just show how much daylight should, blue light should be filtered just like this. The thing is that you can now filter light, blue light on the day as well. And you can decide how much you done on the day and how much it should be done on the night. You still want some filter in the day and then. So that was actually everything. As I said, not too many features but a lot of back fixes and such. So it's also in the smaller features which obviously I didn't go through. You can check out the official announcement on KD.org. And same goes if you're interested in all of the back fixes but if you actually go through the list of all back fixes, it's a hundred of things that would be weird. I gotta say thanks a lot to the people there that actually allow you this kind of videos and other projects as well. As an example, I'm currently contributing to KD Plasma with some patches and back fixes. And also I have a podcast called Linux Daily.
