KDE & Plasma users

Hi everyone!

I am using Kate happily, and I'd like to ask a question to experts: when I open a file over ssh, the terminal in Kate requires a manual connection. Is it possible to a) have it synced automatically, or b) use the same connection that Kate uses to open the files so that one does not need to insert the password again?

Thank you :)

Wondering if there is any way to change the rings to higher contrast colours, from the default white and grey? The settings seem to be in ~/.config/kwinrc file, but it has no colour options that I know of. It seems like an obvious choice to want to have.

The Mouse Click Animation has some great options, but it is only on actual clicking of the mouse keys (and yes I thought maybe I could set this to long duration, but it maxes out at 999 ms.

Question is in the title. I want to create my own custom theme for light and dark and make it so that I can change between them with a click in the quick settings.

F3 split screen on/off

F4 integrated terminal that syncs the active folder with the UI

My setup: OS is Endeavour OS and up to date, my GPU is RX 560 with 1xDVI + 1x HDMI + 1X DP output, two monitors of the same model (1xHDMI + 1xDP). (KDE Plasma 5.27.7, KDE Frameworks 5.108., Qt 5.15.10, Kernel 6.4.11-x64v2-xanmod1-1, Wayland)

Original setup: MonitorA on left of my Desk connected with DP, MonitorB on right of my Desk connected with HDMI, the problem is that games see left monitor as "Monitor 1" and opens on left monitor all the time, and I prefer them to use "Monitor 2" by default.

Setup 2: I switch DP and HDMI cable, but everytime a boot up my computer (I set auto login in SDDM) the monitor configuration becomes "MonitorB is on top of Monitor A", none of my attempts to change that persisted between reboots, I didn't test games because this heavily affects my workflow.

Setup 3: Also switched monitors positions physically (MonitorB on left of my Desk connected with HDMI, MonitorA on right of my Desk connected with DP), now the default monitor configurations is side-by-side again, but every boot I have to switch monitors' position in settings or I have to go right on MonitorA to get to monitorB.

I also noticed monitor settings go away when I logout of Wayland KDE session, is there a way to fix monitor configuration in SDDM?

As a Casey Neistat fan, I love that he used to put The Godfather 1 and 2 on loop as screensavers for his monitors.

Yeah, he was using an old mac for that.

I would like to replicate it on KDE Plasma. Someone knows a way to put any movie of my liking as screensaver?

Plasma 6 release day is getting closer... and we still have no wallpaper to use! But we're going to change that with your help and this contest!

I'm trying to reposition my monitors using display configuration. When I click apply, the keep button is not clickable leading to it reverting in 10 seconds.

Is there any other way to relay out my monitors?___

"With this blog I would like to introduce KRdp, which is a new library implementing the required glue to create a server exposing a KDE Plasma Wayland session over the RDP protocol. It also contains a command-line based server which will allow remote clients to control the current Plasma Wayland session."

I've been looking for a Home Assistant widget for KDE that can be used to control lights and things right from my taskbar (similar to this GNOME extension). Does anyone know of such a thing?

Excellent progress was made this week towards the goal of full sound theme support in Plasma 6, among other topics–including some important performance work for KWin!

At this point you’ve heard a lot about Plasma 6, and each of my weekly “This week in KDE” brings news of a few new features, UI changes, or bugfixes that are only in Plasma 6. But how do we get there, and how long will it take?
