Plasma 5.20

İçi-dışı yenilendi

Düzinelerce bileşen, pencere ögesi ve genel olarak masaüstü davranışında iyileştirmeler içeren devasa bir sürüm.

Bak ve hisset

Some of the changes will be obvious the moment Plasma desktop and its beautiful new wallpaper (Shell, by the talented Lucas Andrade) loads onto your screen.

Görev Yöneticisi

Örneğin, Görev Yöneticisi yalnızca görünüşünü değil (artık varsayılan olarak yalnızca simgedir), aynı zamanda nasıl davrandığını da değiştirmiştir: aynı uygulamayla birkaç pencere açtığınızda (birkaç LibreOffice belgesini açtığınızda olduğu gibi), Görev Yönetici onları bir araya toplayacak. Gruplandırılmış pencerelere tıklamak, istediğiniz belgeye ulaşana kadar her birini ön plana çıkarır. Ayrıca, Görev Yöneticisi’nde üzerine tıkladığınızda etkin görevi küçültmemeye de karar verebilirsiniz. Plasma’daki çoğu şeyde olduğu gibi, bu davranışlar yapılandırılabilir ve onları koruyabilir veya atabilirsiniz; Sana kalmış.

Sistem Tepsisi

Other changes are not so immediately evident, like the System Tray popup now shows items in a grid rather than a list, and the icon view on your panel can now be configured to scale the icons along with the panel thickness.

Talking of scaling, the Web Browser widget also lets you zoom in and out from its contents by holding down the [Ctrl] key and rolling the mouse wheel. The Digital Clock widget has changed too and is now more compact and shows the current date by default. Throughout KDE apps in general, each toolbar button which displays a menu when clicked now shows a downward-pointing arrow to indicate this.

On-screen displays

On-screen displays that appear when changing the volume or display brightness (for example) have been redesigned to be less obtrusive. When using the 'raise maximum volume' setting, the volume on-screen display will subtly warn you when you go over 100% volume. Plasma helps you protect your eardrums. And finally, when you change the display brightness, it now transitions smoothly.

KWin

Then there are the changes that are not visual at all, but that affect usability and how you interact with your Plasma environment. For example, in Plasma versions prior to 5.20, you could hover the cursor over the window, hold down the [Alt] key, and then drag with the mouse to move the window. Using the [Alt] key for this conflicted with many popular productivity applications that used the same gesture for different functions, so the default shortcut for moving and resizing is now to hold down the [Meta] ("Windows") key and drag instead.

In a similar vein, you can push windows into a section of the screen so they take up half or a quarter of the available space (this is called "tiling") using a keyboard shortcut. To tile a window to the top half of the screen, for example, hold down the [Meta] key and tap the up arrow key. If you want to tile a window into the upper left corner, hold down the [Meta] key and then tap the up and left arrow keys in quick succession; and so on and so forth.

Bildirimler

Then there are a lot of changes to the notification system. For one, you now get notified when your system is about to run out of space on your disk even if your home directory is on a different partition -- very important if you want to avoid sticky situations where you can't even save changes to a document because you have no more room on your hard drive.

Speaking of disks and notifications, the Device Notifier applet has been renamed to Disks & Devices and it is now easier to use, as you can now show all disks, not just the removable ones. Keeping things tidy, unused audio devices are filtered out of the audio applet and System Settings page by default. As for keeping things safe, you can configure a charge limit below 100% to preserve the battery health on supported laptops. If what you need is peace and quiet, Plasma 5.20 lets you enter the Do Not Disturb mode by simply middle-clicking on the Notifications applet or system tray icon.

Moving on to KRunner, KDE's application launcher, search-and-conversion utility, and general all-round useful thing, it now remembers the prior search text and you can choose to have it centered on the screen, rather than attached to the top. KRunner can now also search and open pages in Falkon, KDE's advanced web browser.

And that's not all. Look out for the dozens of more subtle improvements sprinkled throughout Plasma 5.20 that make your experience with KDE's desktop sleeker and more enjoyable.

Sistem Ayarları ve Bilgi Merkezi

Sistem Ayarları, sisteminizin birçok yönünü yapılandırmak için gittiğiniz yerdir ve o da Plasma 5.20’deki iyileştirmelerden adil pay alır.

One of the most useful new features is that you can always know what you changed in your configurations with the Highlight Changed Settings feature: click the button in the bottom left corner of the window and Settings will show the things that have been modified from their default values.

Another things that will make your life easier is that the Standard Shortcuts and Global Shortcuts pages have been combined into one, simply called Shortcuts. Additionally, the Autostart, Bluetooth and User Manager pages have been rewritten from scratch and redesigned according to modern user interface standards.

S.M.A.R.T is a technology included in many hard disks, SSDs and eMMC drives. It can help predict the failure of a storage device before it happens. Install Plasma Disks from Discover and System Settings in Plasma 5.20 will be able to monitor S.M.A.R.T notifications and inform you of the state of your disks, allowing you to save your data before something catastrophic happens.

Other new stuff includes an audio balance option that lets you adjust the volume of each audio channel, and tools to adjust the touchpad cursor speed more to your liking.

Wayland

2019’da KDE Topluluğu, Plasma ve uygulamalarının Wayland’a uyarlanmasına öncelik vermek için resmi bir hedef belirlemeye karar verdi. Giderek daha fazla özellik ve izlence, yeni görüntüleme sunucusu protokolüne doğru yol aldıkça, çabalar büyük bir zaman karşılığını vermeye başlıyor. Örneğin, Klipper pano izlencesi ve orta tıklama yapıştırması artık Wayland’da tam olarak çalışır durumda ve çok amaçlı başlatıcı-hesaplayıcı-arama aracı K Çalıştır, artık bir üst paneli kullandığınızda doğru yerde görünüyor.

Mouse and touchpad support are nearly on par with their X counterparts and screencasting is also supported in Plasma 5.20. The Task Manager shows window thumbnails and in general the whole desktop is more stable and no longer crashes even if XWayland does.

These are just the highlights of Plasma 5.20. There is so much more! If you want a full list of everything that has gone into Plasma 5.20, check out the full changelog and enjoy your new (and improved) desktop!
