KDE Plasma 6.5 is introducing a change that has been “years in the wanting” and that is rounded bottom corners for windows.
KDE developer Nate Graham is out with his usual weekly recap of all the interesting Plasma changes for the week. Most significant this week is that now Breeze-decorated windows will have their bottom corners rounded automatically by KWin. The server-side rounded bottom corners are enabled by default but can be disabled for those preferring the old style.
Here’s an example of the rounded bottom corners for Plasma 6.5 from one of the MRs:
Plasma 6.5 is also making the sidebars in Discover and System Monitor resizable, improved ordering of search results in KRunner, Plasma’s weather widget will now automatically fetch new data immediately when waking from sleep if more than 30 minutes have passed, and KWin now is less trusting of colorimetry data from a display’s EDID since it’s often wrong.
