However, as good as 6.6 is, the KDE team isn&#8217;t resting yet. In fact, it seems like it&#8217;s full steam ahead on making 6.7 the best that it can be.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, we don&#8217;t have to sit around and wait for 6.7 to release to see what&#8217;s new. Because KDE Plasma is open source, we can take a peek at what everyone&#8217;s working on and their current progress. Best of all, the KDE community puts together a &#8220;This Week in Plasma&#8221; blog post that curates all the changes applied over the last seven days.<\/p>\n<p>        <img width=\"440\" height=\"364\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Ubuntu login screen in the KDE Plasma desktop\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1772268968_485_xda-kde-plasma-on-ubuntu-login.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1772268968_485_xda-kde-plasma-on-ubuntu-login.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                    Related<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.xda-developers.com\/kde-plasma-6-7-managing-notifications-easier\/\" title=\"KDE Plasma 6.7.0 will finally make managing your notifications a lot easier\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n\t\t\tKDE Plasma 6.7.0 will finally make managing your notifications a lot easier<br \/>\n\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"display-card-excerpt\">Also, a huge wave of 6.6.0 bug fixes are coming.<\/p>\n<p>            KDE Plasma 6.7 will get nice, rounded edges in its highlights<\/p>\n<p>            It&#8217;s part of a redesign to make the UI more consistent<\/p>\n<p>        <img width=\"825\" height=\"496\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"An example of the new KDE Plasma rounded highlights\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/kde-plasma-rounded-corners-example.png\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/kde-plasma-rounded-corners-example.png\" class=\"img-brightness-opt-out\"\/><br \/>\n        Credit:\u00a0KDE<\/p>\n<p>Over in the latest issue of <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.kde.org\/2026\/02\/28\/this-week-in-plasma-vietnamese-lunar-calendar-and-rounder-highlights\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">This Week in Plasma<\/a>, the KDE community has collected all the cool things people have been working on lately. My personal favorite change is a subtle but stylish change to how highlights look in menus. Instead of being the default box-like look, these now have sleek, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xda-developers.com\/kde-plasmas-update-rounded-corners\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">rounded edges<\/a>. You can see the comparison in the image above.<\/p>\n<p>However, as the KDE community explains, these corners go a lot further than just looking nice:<\/p>\n<p>Rolled out the beginnings of a new rounded style for selection highlights in Breeze-themed QtWidgets-based apps, like Dolphin, Okular, and KMail. This brings them the style we\u2019ve been using for years for list highlights in QtQuick-based apps and menu items everywhere, and paves the way for all of them to be consistently styled from a central location by the upcoming Union styling system. (Akseli Lahtinen and Marco Martin, <a href=\"https:\/\/invent.kde.org\/plasma\/breeze\/-\/merge_requests\/583\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">breeze MR #583<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/kde-plasma-67-is-bringing-dark-mode-toggle-push-to-talk-and-more\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">KDE Plasma 6.7<\/a> will also introduce the Vietnamese lunar calendar to the Digital Clock widget, a better visual alert whenever you favorite an app in the Kickoff application to better signal that it succeeded, and a new toggle in the Application Permissions page that lets you revoke all remote casting sessions in case you have a few active. KDE Plasma 6.7 won&#8217;t be out for a little while yet, so don&#8217;t expect these to be out until around June; however, it&#8217;s still exciting to see all the tweaks being made to it, week by week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Summary Plasma 6.7 is in active development; weekly posts show ongoing tweaks.
