KDE Plasma 5.19 Desktop Environment Officially Released, Here’s What’s New

Highlights of KDE Plasma 5.19 include improved panel spacer to automatically center widgets, new photographic user avatars, a new look for media playback applets that are more usable and pleasant to the eye, as well as consistent header area and design to make system tray applets and notifications look better. Plasma’s Breeze theme received some attention as well, allowing GTK 3 apps to immediately apply a newly selected color scheme and GTK 2 apps to use the right color, as well as to make text easier to read by increasing the default fixed-width font size from 9 to 10.
