A screenshot of KDE's spectacle application showing the reintroduced cropping tool

For laptops with RGB-backlit keyboards, Plasma has gained the ability to keep the backlight color in sync with the active accent color!

That’s insane, this is why I both like KDE and the open source community in general. An option that only 1% of users will ever be able to use. And, of those only ~50% max who are able to use it will actually want to use, but someone has made it an optional feature anyway as a passion project. I will never use this but I’m delighted it exists.

Came here to say the same thing. At least 2 people's brains will melt at this

2 Very high priority Plasma bugs (down from 4 last week).

is spectacle supposed to be able to copy to clipboard on Wayland or not really? hasn't worked for me on 6

I had to re-enable that option in spectacle settings on Fedora 40. But it does work.

For me, even on X11, it’s hit or miss if the copy actually makes it to the clipboard. I’d say 50:50 I can paste the image or I have to clip again.
