Workspaces
The latest Plasma 5 features the following workspaces: • Plasma Desktop for any mouse or keyboard driven computing devices like desktops or laptops • Plasma Mobile for smartphones KDE Plasma Desktop Environment ◾ 57 • Plasma Bigscreen for TVs and set-top boxes incl. voice interaction • Plasma Nano, a minimal shell for embedded and touch-enabled devices, like IoT or automotive Desktop Features • KRunner is a search feature with many available plugins. In addi- tion to launching apps, can find files and folders, open websites, con- vert from one currency to another, calculate simple mathematical expressions, and perform numerous other valuable tasks. • Flexible desktop and panel layouts composed of Widgets, also known as “Plasmoids,” can be configured, moved around, replaced with alternatives, or deleted. Each screen layout can be individually configured. New widgets created can be downloaded within Plasma. • Have a powerful clipboard with a memory of pieces of text that can call up at will. • Systemwide notification system supporting fast reply, drag-and- drop straight from notifications, history view, and a Do Not Disturb mode. • Central location to control media playback in open apps, your phone, or your web browser. • Activities allow you to separate methods of using the system into distinct workspaces. Each activity can have a set of favorite and recently used applications, wallpapers, “virtual desktops,” panels, win- dow styles, and layout configurations. It also couples with ksmserver (i.e., X Session Manager implementation), which keeps track of apps that can be run or shut down along with given activity via subSessions functionality that keeps track of applications (not all applications sup- port this feature as they don’t implement XSMP protocol). • Encrypted vaults for storing sensitive data. • Night Color can automatically warm the screen colors at night, user- specified times, or manually. • Style icons, cursors, application colors, user interface elements, splash screens, and more can change. Global Themes allow the entire look of the system to be modified in one click. 58 ◾ Linux • Session Management allows apps running when the system shuts down to be automatically restarted in the same state they were in before. LINUX DISTRIBUTIONS USING PLASMA Plasma 5 is a default desktop environment on Linux distributions, similar to: • ArcoLinux • Fedora – KDE Plasma Desktop Edition is an official Fedora spin dis- tributed by the project • KaOS • KDE neon • Kubuntu • LliureX • Manjaro – as Manjaro KDE edition • MX Linux • Netrunner • openSUSE • PCLinuxOS • Q4OS • Slackware • Solus Plasma • SteamOS 3.0 • Ubuntu Studio History The first Technology Preview of Plasma 5 was released on December 13, 2013. The first release version, Plasma 5.0, was on July 15, 2014. In 2015, Plasma 5 replaced Plasma 4 in many popular distributions, such as Fedora 22, Kubuntu 15.04, and OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. KDE Plasma Desktop Environment ◾ 59 Releases Feature releases are released every four months and bugfix releases in the intervening months. Following version 5.8 LTS, KDE plans to support each new LTS version for 18 months with bug fixes, while new regular releases will see feature improvements. Here is the complete list of the KDE release. KDE 5.0 July 15, 2014: KDE announces the immediate availability of Plasma 5.0, providing an updated and user-friendly desktop experience. Plasma 5.0 introduces a large new version of the KDE workspace. The new concept of Breeze art introduces pure visuals and improved readability. The central workflow is simplified, while the well-known interaction patterns are left as is. Plasma 5.0 enhances high DPI display support and delivers a flex- ible shell, which is able to switch between user experiences on different targeted devices. Changes under the cover include a move to a new, fully accelerated hardware stack based on OpenGL (ES) scenegraph. Plasma is built using Qt 5 and Frameworks 5. Significant changes to this new version include: • It is an updated and modern user, visually clean and interactive where the new Breeze theme is very different, a flat workplace theme. • It is available in a variety of light and dark. Lightweight and simple graphics and typography-based layouts provide a clean and clear user experience. • Smooth photo functionality thanks to the updated photo stack • The Plasma user interface is provided at the top of the OpenGL or OpenGL ES scenegraph, loading multiple computer-enabled deliv- ery functions. • It allows for higher frames and smoother image displays while free- ing up core system processor resources. KDE Plasma 5.1 October 15, 2014: KDE releases Plasma 5.1.0, the first release featuring new features since the release of Plasma 5.0 in the summer of 2014. Plasma Games 5.1 is a wide variety of developments, leading to more excellent stability, better performance, and new and improved features. Thanks to 60 ◾ Linux public feedback, KDE developers were able to pack a large number of fixes and enhancements for this release, among which is a complete and high- quality artwork that follows the new 5.0 Breeze style, a re-addition of pop- ular features like these. such as the Icon Tasks task switch and improved stability and performance. Regular travelers will enjoy better time-based support on the panel clock. At the same time, those who stay at home have an updated clipboard manager, allowing you to access past clipboard content easily. The Breeze widget is now also available in Qt4-based applications, leading to greater interoperability across all applications. Wayland’s support function as a Plasma display server is ongoing, with enhanced support, but not limited to 5.1. Changes to all default sections improve access for visually impaired users by adding screen reader support and enhanced keyboard navigation. In addition to visual enhancement and features, this release focuses on stability and performance enhancement, with more than 180 bugs resolved from 5.0 in the shell alone. KDE Plasma 5.1 requires KDE Frameworks 5.3, which brings a more significant number of improvements and performance improvements than a large number of adjustments to Plasma 5.1. If you want to help make most of this happen, consider a donation to KDE so that we can support more developers coming together to create great software Changes Made in the Plasma 5.1 Version Visual The new Breeze Qt 4 widget theme allows KDE Platform 4 to fit your Plasma 5 desktop. The concept of Breeze art, which first appeared in Plasma 5.0, has seen many improvements. The icon set is now quite complete. Instead of the notifications on the panel, the icons are visually touched. A new style of native widget enhances the delivery of applications used in Plasma. The unique native style also works for Qt 4, allowing applications written with KDE Platform 4 to fit your Plasma 5 desktop. A new Settings module will enable you to switch between desktop themes. Overall, Plasma 5.1’s Look and Feel improved the information avail- able in 5.0 significantly. Behind all these changes is the development of the Human Interface Guidelines, which have resulted in consistent user information. Download 4.72 Mb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
