KDE Plasma 6.1 Officially Released with Enhancements

TapTechNews on June 19th. The KDE Plasma 6.1 official version was officially released yesterday, bringing many desktop experience improvements.

In Plasma 6.1, a remote desktop option is newly added in the system settings to simplify the process of enabling a remote desktop, and it supports connection with clients such as KRDC.

In addition to the subtle modifications to the theme and adjustments to the animations in the new version, the experience of the desktop editing mode is also improved.

Also, like the X11 version, the Wayland version can remember the applications opened by the user before logging out or shutting down the computer and automatically open them after restarting the computer.

TapTechNews noticed that this update also adds the function of synchronizing the keyboard RGB backlight with the desktop color.

Other major improvements also include:

After choosing to shut down, only shutdown and cancel are listed, rather than every power option.

The screen lock support can be configured to behave like the traditional screen saver, that is, no password is required to unlock.

Accessibility improvements

Shake Cursor: It can make the cursor larger when you shake it.

Edge Barrier: It is a sticky area near the edge of the screen that can make it easier for you to click things (if you want to) instead of allowing the cursor to move to the next monitor.

Wayland version improvements

ExplicitSync eliminates the flickering and glitches traditionally encountered by NVIDIA users.

TripleBuffering support in Wayland makes the animations and screen rendering more smooth.
