“Adding applets
There was a time when I complained about the convoluted process of
adding new Plasma applets. Not anymore! Today I can say it’s
easy and much more intuitive, although still not flawless. For
instance, scrolling between the available applets horizontally is
not very user-friendly.

“The changes made here were cosmetic. The scrolling looks nicer
and the information about the applets being displayed is more
detailed.

“KRunner like YaKuake
A very nice change in KRunnera! Now we can configure it in the way
that it’s displayed not in the centre of the screen but shows
up in an elegant way at the top of the screen.”
