In KDE Plasma 6.6 Spectacle can read texts from screenshots, a new on-screen keybord is available for testing, a first-time wizard was added, current theme can be saved as a new global theme, emoji selector got a new easier skin tone selection, you can now connect to a Wi-Fi network via a QR code, application sound volume can be changed by scrolling over a taskbar button via mouse, and there is much more.
The volume slider with a scroll wheel over the taskbar icons is such a clever little addition. It makes so much sense. I can’t believe nobody else thought of this.
It’s one of the things I’ve missed from windows for a long time.
I haven’t updated to 6.6 yet, and I can definitely do that.
I’m on 6.5.5. Probably gonna update now
edit: nevermind, Just saw the video below. Def a new feature.
Wait, do other DEs not have this? I believe even Windows has this.
Are you thinking of the volume icon in the systray? For that, it’s pretty standard that scrolling changes the volume, yeah. @muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works is talking about the volume of each individual application, though:
(I have hardly used Windows for the past decade, so no idea, if it has it.)
It has a functional version of the concept. At least
