Plasma 6.0 has been released. Check out the new overview, improved colour management, a cleaner theme, more effects, better overall performance, and much more.
My son impressed his friends with wobbly windows the other day. Got to introduce him to the cube.
Not related, but why do most of the comments here have several user accounts tagged/linked?
A fancy new overview!
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Can I use my Gmail account in Kmail now?
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Apparently, the answer is “No, I can’t use Gmail with Kmail in Plasma 6”.
Booted the current Fedora 40 nightly KDE ISO. Using “Online Accounts” did not set up my Gmail account in Kmail. Kmail found the account in Mozilla’s database when I tried to create it directly in Kmail. I was led through a dialog that ended with a display of server info with a “Previous” and a “Quit” button. The account was not created. #KDE #Plasma6
@Corb_The_Lesser @kde @kde@lemmy.kde.social yeah the new wizard had to be completely rewritten for Qt6 and still requires a bit of work and testing with various email providers. 😔
@Corb_The_Lesser Too bad. It looks pretty.
I thought it was working years ago via IMAP. Is that not working now or do you mean using another method?
Google eliminated IMAP years ago in favor of OAuth and their API. Thunderbird kept up, I think. KMail didn’t
@TheFinn@discuss.tchncs.Gmail may have worked with Kmail occasionally in the past. I think sometimes that involved going back to your Google account and telling it to accept an “unsecure” app. To be honest, I wouldn’t do that for an email app.
Elementary has the same problem with its mail app.
@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social oh that is HELLA fancy
Crazy how Fedora will get such a stable Plasma 6 when 40 comes out, nearly 2 months left.
I tested Plasma 6 on rawhide, reported a bunch of bugs and in the end everything was fixed.
@kde @kde@lemmy.kde.social The cube! 🧊😄👏
