If you want them that is, this change is not forced on you. A nifty little addition and one I&#8217;m quite pleased with is the new microphone volume tester available directly in the sound menu.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p>There&#8217;s also:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A light \/ dark mode toggle.<\/li>\n<li>Vietnamese lunar calendar.<\/li>\n<li>Support for the newer &#8220;Background Apps&#8221; system for the System Tray.<\/li>\n<li>Further enhancements to printing support.<\/li>\n<li>Lots of UI upgrades like drag and drop favourites in the Application Launcher, the Discover software store also had some tweaks to the layout to work better.<\/li>\n<li>HDR improvements.<\/li>\n<li>General performance improvements.<\/li>\n<li>Support for many more Wayland protocols and portals.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Another fun one is the return of the Oxygen theme, upgraded for the latest KDE Plasma tooling. This was the default back in the days of KDE 4. On top of that the Air theme has also returned. Plasma 6.7 also marks the inaugural release of Union, Plasma&#8217;s newer theme system that just uses CSS to let you adjust the look across Plasma, QtQuick apps, and QtWidgets apps.<\/p>\n<p>Still my favourite Linux desktop and it just continues to mature. Plasma looks good, it&#8217;s customizable and powerful out of the box &#8211; everything I could need. Wonderful work.<\/p>\n<p>See more in the release announcement.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"hidden_message\">Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamingonlinux.com\/2026\/06\/kde-plasma-6-7-out-with-per-screen-virtual-desktops-wayland-upgrades-better-support-for-background-apps\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KDE Plasma 6.7 out with per-screen virtual desktops, Wayland upgrades, better support for background apps&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":274392,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.gamingonlinux.com\/uploads\/articles\/tagline_images\/1896459942id29222gol.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[71],"class_list":["post-274391","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-linux","tag-linux"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274391"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=274391"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274391\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":274393,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/274391\/revisions\/274393"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/274392"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=274391"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=274391"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=274391"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
