One of the nicest changes to be implemented in the upcoming KDE Plasma 5.17 desktop environment is a totally revamped System Settings window, which now features a modern look and feel to make setting up various aspects of the KDE Plasma desktop a breeze for newcomers and advanced users alike. Apart from the modernized System Settings, KDE Plasma 5.17 will let users sort the order of image slideshow wallpapers, add a “Manual” mode to the Night Color feature so you can turn it on and off whenever you want, as well as support for syncing DPI and NumLock key status to the SDDM login screen.
