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

Not related, but why do most of the comments here have several user accounts tagged/linked?

A fancy new overview!

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Can I use my Gmail account in Kmail now?

[-] Corb_The_Lesser@mastodon.social 7 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

@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?

[-] parens@programming.dev 5 points 8 months ago

Google eliminated IMAP years ago in favor of OAuth and their API. Thunderbird kept up, I think. KMail didn't

[-] semperverus@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

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.

[-] AdamBishop@floss.social 11 points 8 months ago

@kde @kde@lemmy.kde.social The cube! 🧊😄👏

[-] mid_kid@fosstodon.org 9 points 8 months ago

@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.

[-] Neil@lemmy.ml 6 points 8 months ago

This makes me reminisce about Sabayon Linux.

Compiz and Beryl live on in spirit.

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social desktop cube?!?!

[-] fabiscafe@mstdn.social 4 points 8 months ago

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Kongratulations 🎉👏👏 woohoo 🎉

[-] ward@easymode.im 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

@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.

[-] Sethayy@sh.itjust.works 7 points 8 months ago

If I remember right old themes do need a port

[-] FedericoSchonborn@mastodon.uy 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

@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

[-] Shatur@lemmy.ml 4 points 8 months ago

Awesome, can't wait to try it out!

[-] rachaelspooky@cyberpunk.lol 4 points 8 months ago

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I JUST INSTALLED 5 YESTERDAY WHAT

[-] rachaelspooky@cyberpunk.lol 3 points 8 months ago

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I'm excited to try it out in a few months when it hits the repos 💖

[-] linucs@lemmy.ml 3 points 8 months ago

Congratulations and thanks to everyone who worked on it!

[-] unlucio@mastodon.social 3 points 8 months ago

@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? 🤔

[-] GravitySpoiled@lemmy.ml 11 points 8 months ago

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.

[-] falken@qoto.org 7 points 8 months ago

@unlucio @kde @kde do you not remember how cool Compiz was ? How it made the Mac users jealous and the Windows users weep
#geek

[-] ohyran@social.piewpiew.se 4 points 8 months ago

@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

[-] Technofrood@feddit.uk 3 points 8 months ago

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

@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.

[-] aitorpazos@fosstodon.org 3 points 8 months ago

@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

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social would I be correct in assuming that it's now available in the Arch repo?

[-] CalicoJack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 8 months ago

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.

[-] taixzo@techhub.social 3 points 8 months ago

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Yes! Desktop cube is back!!!!

[-] baduhai@sopuli.xyz 3 points 8 months ago

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?

[-] Bro666@lemmy.kde.social 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

New versions of Kdenlive are released at regular intervals. When release day comes around, you'll get a notification.

@kde @kde "let you know when there is an update available without even requiring an internet connection."

How does that work. Because sounds implausible...
