UnfortunateShort , in How do I make a Plasma panel completely transparent?

You might be able to pull this off with kvantum, although I don’t know how.

procrastinator , in How do I make a Plasma panel completely transparent?

I think I found out how to do what you want. In the System Settings app, you will go to “Workspace Behaviour” (right under Appearance), then in the submenu choose “Desktop Effects”, and either scroll down (number 2 in “Appearance”) or search for “Blur”. To the right there’s a configure button that you press.

In the popup you can then configure the Blur Strength and I suggest you put it all the way to Light (to the left). Noise strength i have no idea what does lol.

Hope this helps, and if you need pictures I can do that as well

Edit: This will also change other places with blur.

And also remember to change the opacity settings of the panel (In edit mode, edit the panel, to the right “more options”, and then you can choose from there)

Thorned_Rose OP ,

Thanks for helping. I've already tried putting the blur all the way down (and fiddling with the noise, no idea what it does either) - the screenshots in my post are both with blur at 0 :( Also means my logout screen isn't blurred properly and the icons are harder to see over the background.

My panel opacity is set to "Adaptive" so that it turns opaque with maximised windows. Even if I set it to be "Translucent", it's looks the same as it is in my screenshots.

This looks awesome! Definitely stuff I’d use. I presume it’s also great for stuff like text expanders, autocorrect and typing predictions (if you’re into that stuff)

Like typing !date and it gives you the exact date or something (or unix time! So many possibilities!)

Molecular0079 , in Maliit keyboard on Steam Deck?

Maliit has a lot of limitations (no ctrl and arrow keys for example) that make it somewhat annoying to use. I am also not sure if its usable in X11.

Maliit has a lot of limitations (no ctrl and arrow keys for example) that make it somewhat annoying to use.

I’d like to come to my own conclusions.

I am also not sure if its usable in X11.

Literally the first sentence in its Readme says it is.

Molecular0079 ,

Literally the first sentence in its Readme says it is.

The README is one thing, in actuality its another. I’ve personally tested it with Arch Linux KDE on both my Surface Pro 7 and a desktop PC with an Acer touch-capable monitor:

  1. There is no Input Devices -> Virtual Keyboards section in KDE System Settings when running in X11, so you can’t even enable Maliit for your X11 session.
  2. There’s a lot of situations in X11 where tapping on a text box won’t trigger onscreen keyboards and since there’s no way to manually trigger Maliit to appear like you can with the Steam keyboard with STEAM + X, it is kinda broken.

By all means, feel free to tinker. You probably need to disable the read-only filesystem on SteamOS in order to properly install the Maliit package. All I am saying is don’t expect an experience that’s usable in SteamOS’s X11 desktop session.

sun_is_ra , in Any ideas why some files have an icon and others don't?

what happen if u right click on one of the invisible icons, choose properties, click on “change” button then assign the icon manually from there. (you click on the button to the left of the extensions list)

keenkoon , in Any ideas why some files have an icon and others don't?

looks like a problem that happens only with the .sh file extension.

I don’t know about the random intervals though, maybe something is triggering the event that removes the icons?

Xirup OP ,
@Xirup@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

In this case yes, but I have other images that I can share where the .zip extensions are not shown either, and in fact if you see on the left in the list of removable devices, the CDROM (which is nothing more than a flashed distro on a flash drive with Balena Etcher) does not have an icon either.

UnfortunateShort , in Is it possible to enable automatic updates for Flatpak programs in Discover?

There is a selection for automatic updates under Settings > Software Update, but I swear it does nothing on my distro.

If you really want to have auto-updates you can look into systemd unit files. All you need is a very simple one of those, a script that handles the update(s) and to enable it once via systemctl enable --now.

I recommend to disable the notifications and update manually at sensible times tho. You don’t want updates to unexpectedly break stuff and auto-updates are exactly what does that.

UkaszGra ,

I think it’s conpatible only with kubuntu.

Vilian , in Is it possible to enable automatic updates for Flatpak programs in Discover?

same, maybe putting a script to run flatpak update, but idin’t know if it gonna work

SigHunter , in #Akademy2023 - How it Happened

where are the videos, can’t find em

They are not ready yet

There are videos of the talks at YouTube, but with very low video and audio quality. I think better-quality videos will follow.

Bro666 OP Mod ,
@Bro666@lemmy.kde.social avatar

Those are recording made by YT (and PT) directly from the streams. Streams do not make good sources for recordings because sometimes the bandwidth of a live stream can be iffy, which leads to subpar recordings… Which is the case.

We will be uploading recordings made on site presently, as they provide much better quality of audio and video.

Ashiette , in KDE KScreen2 Bug

There is a workaround… But I don’t know how “pretty it is”. You can make a script that listens to the keyboard or the mouse (using evemu for example) and after a period of inactivity it goes xset dpms force off.

It works. It’s not pretty.

Zamundaaa , in Maliit keyboard on Steam Deck?

SteamOS currently still uses X11 for the desktop mode, so afaik it’s not really possible

woelkchen OP ,
@woelkchen@lemmy.world avatar

X11 for the desktop mode, so afaik it’s not really possible

The first sentence in Maliit’s Readme says it is compatible with X11.

catra , in Which widgets are must haves?
@catra@beehaw.org avatar

Panon. An audio visualizer.

I put it in the center of my top (latte) dock.

github.com/rbn42/panon / store.kde.org/p/1326546/

I don’t use many widgets but this one is always there.

SpicyTofuSoup OP ,

That’s pretty cool thanks for sharing!

Molecular0079 , in What distro for KDE development

Any distro that allows you to patch and rebuild KDE packages quickly will be good. Personally, I really like Arch for this purpose because working off of PKGBUILDS just rock.

DeflectedBullhorn , in digiKam 8.1.0 has been released

All I want from Digikam is support for Apple’s Live Photos. Not having a good way to incorporate those photos into Digikam, is a huge barrier to me moving fully away from Apple. It should be basic functionality at this point. Live Photos have been around for nearly a decade, and even rudimentary support for them would go a long way.
