If you encounter a bug, proceed to https://bugs.kde.org/, check whether it has been reported.

PLEASE THINK CAREFULLY BEFORE POSTING HERE.

Developers do not look for reports on social media, so they will not see it and all it does is clutter up the feed.

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.

@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.

@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.

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)
