“KDE is happy to announce the immediate availability of version
4.7 of both the Plasma Desktop and Plasma Netbook Workspaces. The
Plasma Workspaces have seen improvements to existing functionality,
as well as the introduction of significant new features. In
particular, these include new interface design methods better
suited to touchscreen and mobile devices.

“Lots of visual polishing took place with an update to the
Oxygen icons, and improved consistency between panel items such as
clock and notification areas. Recognizing the modular nature of KDE
software and the ability to mix and match applications from many
different sources, KDE has also improved the Oxygen GTK themes,
making applications from GNOME (and other applications using GTK+)
blend seamlessly with KDE applications in your Plasma
Workspace.”
