My son impressed his friends with wobbly windows the other day. Got to introduce him to the cube.

A fancy new overview!
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Can I use my Gmail account in Kmail now?
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Apparently, the answer is "No, I can't use Gmail with Kmail in Plasma 6".
Booted the current Fedora 40 nightly KDE ISO. Using "Online Accounts" did not set up my Gmail account in Kmail. Kmail found the account in Mozilla's database when I tried to create it directly in Kmail. I was led through a dialog that ended with a display of server info with a "Previous" and a "Quit" button. The account was not created. #KDE #Plasma6
@Corb_The_Lesser @kde @kde@lemmy.kde.social yeah the new wizard had to be completely rewritten for Qt6 and still requires a bit of work and testing with various email providers. 😔

I thought it was working years ago via IMAP. Is that not working now or do you mean using another method?
Google eliminated IMAP years ago in favor of OAuth and their API. Thunderbird kept up, I think. KMail didn't
Im using my gmail account in kmail literally right now, what do you mean?

Crazy how Fedora will get such a stable Plasma 6 when 40 comes out, nearly 2 months left.
I tested Plasma 6 on rawhide, reported a bunch of bugs and in the end everything was fixed.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Sheen, this is the 7th week in a row you've reintroduced the desktop cube in class

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Congrats on the release, great to see KDE going from strength to strength. I like the subtle changes to the breeze theme.
Let's gooo! Can't wait to install it
Compiz and Beryl live on in spirit.
Awesome, can't wait to try it out!
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I'm running debian 12 on my laptop... and I might move over to this soon. How easy is it to remove all that padding around the taskbar and such? I imagine the old themes still work, but I'll take a look. It's pretty otherwise.
If I remember right old themes do need a port
@ward @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social you can disable the floating panel in Edit Mode
edit: for the record, a floating panel will revert to non-floating mode if a window touches it
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I JUST INSTALLED 5 YESTERDAY WHAT
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I'm excited to try it out in a few months when it hits the repos 💖
Congratulations and thanks to everyone who worked on it!
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social For me, the killer feature so far in #kde_plasma_6 is the huge performance improvement for screen sharing in #wayland

LONG LIVE KDE!
Kdenlive will automatically let you know when there is an update available without even requiring an internet connection.
What? How? Will it check the local package manager database?
New versions of Kdenlive are released at regular intervals. When release day comes around, you'll get a notification.

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social On that announcement page, on the video of the welcome screen for Plasma Mobile: the “wifi” screen renders only the title and a blank screen.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Can someone explain to me why having a cube to rotate is better than the classic desktop switching views? 🤔
It isn't better or more efficient. Some people think it's cool. I don't you don't. Some think it's cool and that's ok.
@unlucio @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social well its one of those classic features people wanted back. Probably because its fun and visually appealling
For me it made it easier to visualise which desktop had which thing on, so I knew the front face of the cube was my main desktop and my email was on the face to the right.
The default way for some reason never really clicked with me the way the 3d cube did
@unlucio @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Well, it's a "in the eye of the beholder" situation. Neither is better, it's just what each person prefers. I quite like the cube, mainly because of the way in which I can perform 4-or-more-way desktop checking.

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social would I be correct in assuming that it's now available in the Arch repo?
It's in the testing repo right now, but I'd expect it in the main repo pretty soon. End of the week, give or take.
- What's that driving game?
- It makes me nervous that they call X11 legacy when AFAIK they may never implement window shading on Wayland.
