Plasma 5.12 on Kubuntu 17.10
30some nice new updates in Plasma 5.12, the nices one centered shadows yay
New in Plasma 5.12 LTS
Smoother and Speedier
Speed and memory improvements are the focus of this long-term release. The new Plasma LTS uses less CPU and less memory than previous versions. The process of starting the Plasma desktop is now significantly faster.
Wayland-only Night Color feature that lets you adjust the screen color temperature to reduce eye strain
Usability improvement for the global menu: adding a global menu panel or window decoration button enables it without needing an extra configuration step
KRunner can now be completely used with on-screen readers such as Orca
Notification text is selectable again and allows you to copy links from notifications
The weather applet can now show the temperature next to the weather status icon on the panel
Clock widget's text is now sized more appropriately
System Activity and System Monitor display per-process graphs for the CPU usage
Windows shadows are horizontally centered and larger by default
The Properties dialog now shows file metadata
The Icon applet now uses favicons for website shortcuts
The Kickoff application menu has an optimized layout
Plasma's support for running on Wayland continues to improve, and it is now suitable for a wider range of testing. It is included as a Long Term Support feature for the first time, which means we will be fixing bugs throughout the entire 5.12 LTS series. New features include:
Ability to set output resolution and enable/disable outputs through KScreen
Screen rotation
Automatic screen rotation based on orientation sensor
Automatic touch screen calibration
Fullscreen option for Wayland windows
Automatic selection of the Compositor based on the used platform
Plasma on Wayland cares about your vision, so an exclusive, Wayland-only feature called Night Color is also available. Night Color integrates with KWin and removes blue light from your screen at night-time, functioning as an equivalent of the great Redshift app that works on X.
We have also started implementing window rules on Wayland and made it possible to use real-time scheduling policy to keep the input responsive. XWayland is no longer required to run the Plasma desktop; however, the applications only supporting X still make use of it.
