KDE Plasma 5.25 serves as the follow-up to KDE Plasma 5.24 LTS, last year’s sizeable and well-received long-term support update. Although the new update isn’t an LTS it does boast over 400 bug fixes and a number of interesting new features that users will be keen to try.
So without any further waffle, let’s look at 5 of the best new features in KDE Plasma 5.25.
KDE Plasma 5.25: 5 Best Changes
1. Auto Accent Colours
Find it hard to settle on an accent colour to use throughout the Plasma desktop? If so, why not let the system do it for you? Automatic adaptive personalisation is a major part of modern mobile user experiences and thanks to KDE devs it’s now part of the KDE Plasma 5.25 desktop too.
Yes, Plasma 5.25 offers an option to use an accent colour algorithmically-derived from the hues of your current desktop wallpaper.
Every time you change your wallpaper you change the accent colour too. Simple and automatic. It even works with wallpaper slideshows. That said, this feature is optional (i.e. it’s not turned on by default) so you do need to go out of your way to benefit — something I reckon a lot of users will be rushing to do!
Plus, you can now choose to tint all colours in an active colour scheme using the accent colour derived from your wallpaper. It sounds fussy but this will give your desktop a cohesive, consistent vibe as windows are tonally in-tune. You can choose how much tint gets applied, and save your settings as a distinct colour scheme.
2. Floating Panel
KDE Plasma is the ruling monarch of customisation and in Plasma 5.25 its royal powers further by introducing a new Floating Panel option. This (as the name may very well tell you) inserts a margin all the way around the panel, lifting it off and away from the screen boundaries.
The corners of floating panels are subtly rounded to effect a softer, more tactile look. You can also choose whether a floating panel is transparent or opaque to hone the look you want.
Floating panels also animate back to a regular panel whenever you maximise an application window. This animation is smooth and retains the placing of panel items so the point targets remain where your mind anticipates them.
To enable floating panels in KDE Plasma 5.25 just right-click the panel, select Enter Edit Mode, followed by More Options, and then select Floating. Simple!
3. Improved Workspace Switching
Managing windows and moving between workspaces is easier in KDE Plasma thanks to the Overview effect. This shows open windows, virtual desktops (or workspaces, if you prefer that term).
KDE’s new Overview is reminiscent of Mission Control in macOS, but far more features: you can search for apps, documents, browser tabs, access all of the the features of KRunner and the Application Launcher, and remove, add and rename virtual desktops with ease.
To open the Overview in KDE Plasma 5.25 press super + w or, on a multi-touch-enabled touchpad, do a four finger pinch.
Plus, the Present Windows and Desktop Grid effects have been rewritten from scratch in this release and now share much of their code with the new Overview. Desktop grid in particular is a more dynamic way to get an overview of workspaces, making it an ideal alternative to the overview.
