 Plasma 5.24 has been released and as always you might be interested in discovering well what's new and I'm going to show you that. So the first cool thing is if we go into system settings then we go into the color section and then we choose an accent color that is custom like I don't know purple as an example. Well first of all see here in the task manager Dolphin and the system settings both changed color but then if you open like Dolphin all of the icons are purple so that's pretty cool everything that was blue in the icons will become purple cool next one is there is now a ring about around some elements what elements so if you open up a window like I don't know kickoff as an example but pretty much any kd window and you start tapping you can switch between elements and now to actually let you know that an element is focused by tabbing there's now a nice ring around it with a nice gradient I like it and it helps you understand what element is being focused easier then critical notification so as you know some apps might want to give you a message that's very important and you see it and sometimes inside of all of the notification gets lost which is why now important notification have a nice stripe of orange on the left and also in general the notification have been reworked so they're more visible as an example the text here was light gray on light gray so it wasn't readable now it's black and the header is slightly bigger and so on it's a nicer notification next one is plasma pass so if you use the password manager then there is this nice applet that actually lets you see all of the password that is stored now there's a bit of an issue well you have to install this but you also have to understand how pass works and I don't use pass and I didn't understand how it works so you can see that there are some passwords and if I click on them there is this slider going down which I guess is the amount of time you have to do something however I didn't understand what that something was but if you use the pass password manager then you know what's going on then the audio slider here you can see all of the sliders from all of the speakers and you can of course like them and you can see that on the left of the sliders I'm sorry if it's like rendering wrong I don't know my computer is a bit messed up right now on the left you actually have all of the highlight now if you speak that highlight is going to be darker if it's playing audio is going to be darker depending on the volume which is pretty nice but well now you actually do see the highlight on the left here next one this has been asked a lot now if you go into pictures and you right click on any picture you can finally just click on set us wallpaper and it will be set as a wallpaper let's do as an example this one and that's it it works monogatari scene this one is so then edit mode if you go into edit mode with the panel here there was a button to actually drag and drop the panel anywhere and now you can just drag and drop from anywhere from this toolbar and that's it there is no button to drag you can drag and everywhere which is nice it's a bit easier the care runner has some improvements let me bring up care runner now if you search for this you get all of the runners that explains themselves on how to actually use them as an example spell it says you have to use spell and then the search term kill and the search term kate and the search term or define and the search them and so on it's just a bit easier to understand all of the things that happen in care runner the new overview effect now i've done an entire video about it it's let me bring up an application it's this one it's a nice effect and it's not 3d yet but if you want to use it it's there for you to use it and you can just bring it up i look at my video if you don't know how to actually enable this because it's disabled by default still pretty nice effect then lastly fingerprint support i've seen a lot of people saying oh finally my computer will finally support the fingerprint a kind of kind of let me explain this one now the fingerprint support is indeed there as long as well you have a fingerprint and your fingerprint reader is supported by the drivers of linux not all fingerprint readers are supported so you first have to check if there are drivers if your fingerprint reader wasn't working before it won't magically start to work there are the only new feature really is the fact that now you can jump into system settings and configure your already working fingerprint reader there as an example i do have a fingerprint reader on this computer and it does actually work on gnom which is what i've been using for a bit and in theory now in system settings i should be able to configure the fingerprint reader directly from here but on whether that works or not well i'll do another video about that specifically so stay tuned subscribe and stuff like that finally the only one that i can't actually show you in my machine because i don't have kiddingly kidding live right now and or any video to render but now if a notification is about a video then a preview of the video will be shown similarly to how spectacle also shows preview of the images of the screenshots that you just took by the way in spectacle since 525.24 you can also have the annotate button directly on the screenshot itself so you can just click it and it's much easier it's a bit prettier we'll listen to the feedback from this release and that was it except of course it is not if you go into the plasma dot 24 beta for me but for you in the future you will actually have all of the announcement treaty not the beta the whole announcement there's a lot of stuff now i can't go through all of it these are the things that i choose because they were pretty or significant or easy to actually show you but there's much much more as you can see as an example i haven't talked about wayland a lot but well it's there and there's a lot of improvements so if you want to use wayland i gotta be honest i haven't noticed any issue whatsoever in using wayland in the last month so if you want to give wayland a shot maybe it's the right time but of course now it's up to you to decide whether you think it's worth it or not maybe you're using as an example screen recording and then pipe wire is not yet set up on your system and then you have to use x as sadly i do but i will install pipe wire soon finally thank you for all of the people that actually support me and make me able to do these videos i hope this was interesting again i'll post a link in the description with all of the changelog if you're interested in all of the other stuff this is just you know an official video so if you want all of the cool promotional content from ke you know where to find it and that was it i do videos every day at this point so see you tomorrow
