This Week in Plasma brings launch menu customizations, better screen recordings, and improvements to Plasma’s calculator.
We have simplified KMenuEdit allowing you to customize your launch menu with ease, improved the quality of full-screen recordings with Spectacle, set the “Dim Screen for Administrator Mode” to be switched on by default, and enhanced the accessibility and keyboard navigation of Plasma’s Calculator.

great week! I love the screen dimming
Steam deck made me fall in love with KDE.

Why everyone puts the hamburger menu to the wrong side of the screen? I expects menu in left upper corner.
@mkyral weird, I feel like upper right is much more natural
@[email protected] @[email protected]@stepan @[email protected] @[email protected] Not for me. Upper right was always a close button. Menu is dangerously close to Close button in that case.
@mkyral @stepan @[email protected] @[email protected] I think they’re following the same convention of phones, where hamburger or dango menus tend to appear on the right side, perhaps because they’re easier to reach when holding the device with one hand.
What, the vast majority of phone apps have it on the left side.
@codewiz @stepan @[email protected] @[email protected]
Probably. But desktop is not a phone.
@mkyral @codewiz @stepan @[email protected] @[email protected] yeah but your phone is a Computer, likely a very powerful one compared to what your used to from your youth.
@cybercow @codewiz @stepan @[email protected] @[email protected]
That’s not about cpu power but about form factor, screen size and controls (mouse vs. touch)
Phone with small screen and touch control needs big margins around buttons. Your finger travels less from one corner to another.
At the other side, on desktop you don’t need big buttons and margins. But you want concentrate controls closer to each other as mouse move slower.
I have vertical panel on left side, I’m also using vertical tabs in browser (on left)
@cybercow @codewiz @stepan @[email protected] @[email protected]
Right side of screen is a “danger” zone for me.
