The coloured rectangle that paints over the bottom panel during an
app-launch animation was reset only by a change of
WindowMaximizedTracker.showingWindow. In convergence mode kwinrc
sets Placement=Centered, so launched apps stay non-maximized,
showingWindow never flips and the band remained on the panel
indefinitely.
Restart a 600 ms safety timer whenever the animation is triggered.
When it fires, clear colour and height to zero only if no maximized
or fullscreen window exists, preserving the original mobile reset
path while fixing the convergence one.
Add a KWin decoration package under kwin/decorations and install it
into share/kwin/decorations. The QML theme defines Shift titlebar
colors, button rendering, and maximized border geometry.
Wire the new decorations subdirectory from kwin/CMakeLists.txt.
The header button used list-add icon and hard-coded white backgrounds
that did not match the dark theme. Change icon to configure (it opens
Configure Folio for advanced settings, not add-wallpaper), and use
Kirigami.Theme.backgroundColor for both the header and thumbnail
backgrounds.
When homescreen wallpaper is set, also persist the same image for lockscreen. Add a one-time migration in loadHomescreenSettings() that updates lockscreen when it is unset or still points to legacy Next wallpaper.
Return early in run(window) when the window object is null, deleted, or non-normal before accessing resourceClass. This prevents runtime errors during window lifecycle races.
Introduce shared dock height/reveal constants and use them in folio and taskpanel to keep overlay and exclusion zone aligned. Keep dock backing stationary while only content slides, and add a CTest invariant script to prevent regressions.
Track docked state transitions in KScreenOSDProvider and only snapshot the initial convergence mode when transitioning into docked mode. This restores the previous user preference when outputs drop back to one.
Steam, Lutris, and Heroic filter tabs in the Game Center are now
only shown when those launchers are detected on the system. Detection
checks the native executable, known Flatpak data directories, and
standard data paths. The tab bar shrinks accordingly.
On a zwlr_layer_shell surface the compositor does not send the
window's screen position back to the client, so mapToGlobal
returns dock-local coordinates instead of screen-absolute ones.
Compute position from screen.virtualX + targetDelegate.x directly;
the dock is full-width and bottom-anchored so no global mapping
is needed.
Right-clicking the desktop or dock background opened the mobile
settings overlay, which is a long-press gesture for touchscreens.
In convergence mode show a popup menu instead with three items:
Desktop and Wallpaper, Add Widgets, and Configure Desktop.
Long-press still opens the settings overlay on all form factors.
Show a trash icon to the left of the Overview button in convergence
mode. The icon toggles between user-trash and user-trash-full by
watching ~/.local/share/Trash/files via FolderListModel.
Left-click opens the trash in the default file manager via
Qt.openUrlExternally("trash:/"), making the feature file-manager-
agnostic. Right-click offers "Open Trash" and "Empty Trash"; the
latter shows a confirmation dialog before invoking KIO.Trash via
D-Bus.
The right wing of the virtual-desktop pager shifts left to make
room for the trash button.
Show compact numbered desktop buttons in the dock bar when two or
more virtual desktops exist. The buttons are split symmetrically
to the left and right of the centred app-icon cluster, matching
Plasma Desktop pager behaviour.
Click a button to switch desktops. Drag a running-task icon from
the dock and release it over a desktop button to move that window
to the target desktop. Right-click a task icon for a "Move to …"
submenu when the pager is visible.
The feature is a no-op on single-desktop sessions.
SHIFT now ships its own wallpaper package; remove
breeze6-wallpapers and plasma6-workspace-wallpapers from the
runtime dependency list in HACKING.md. Add .preview-data/ to
.gitignore.
Add a wallpapers/SHIFT package with light and dark images. Set
Image=SHIFT in the look-and-feel defaults.
Plasma's org.kde.image backend requires a directory URL, not a
bare package ID, when writing Image= in a layout.js. Use
configure_file to stamp the resolved KDE_INSTALL_WALLPAPERDIR
path into the installed layout.js at build time.
Update the package ID in metadata.json, the translation catalog
name in Messages.sh, the compile-time default in envmanager, and
the test suite --lookandfeel flag. Rename the 41 .po files from
the old org.kde.breeze.mobile catalog name.
Show running windows in the app drawer with previews, window
actions, and virtual desktop controls. Hide dock task icons while
the panel is open so the same windows are not duplicated.
Use TaskManager to move windows between desktops, and expose
desktop activation through the containment.
Replace KDE blue (#3DAEE9) with a glacial teal (#2EB8A8) accent.
Neutral surfaces and semantic status colors unchanged from Breeze.
Both dark and light variants install to ${KDE_INSTALL_DATADIR}/color-schemes.
interactive starts false at atYBeginning so HomeScreenState can
own the swipe-up gesture that opens the drawer on phones. No such
gesture exists in convergence mode, leaving the grid permanently
non-interactive. Short-circuit the condition when convergence
mode is active.
In mobile mode the status bar goes transparent when on the
homescreen so the wallpaper shows through. That is correct for
phone UX. In convergence/desktop mode it clashes with the always-
opaque dark dock: the top area looks light while the bottom is
dark. Return transparentBackground=false when convergence mode
is enabled so the panel stays consistently opaque.
Remove hardcoded Complementary override and white color literals
from AppDrawerHeader. In mobile mode the Plasma containment
framework already provides Complementary context; in convergence
mode the drawerOverlay Window starts a fresh Window context.
Both cases now propagate correctly without an explicit override.
Also set Kirigami.Theme.Window on the convergence dock
FavouritesBar so icon labels and hover highlights follow the
active system palette instead of the wallpaper context.
input-gaming is a full-color Breeze icon with hard-coded gradients;
it cannot be made monochrome by a delegate-level mask. Switch to
input-gamepad, which uses fill:currentColor and matches the line-art
style of every other quick-settings tile icon.
Drop the empty loadFlatpakGames() stub — desktop .desktop files
with the Game category are already covered by loadDesktopGames().
Remove InstalledRole: the field was always true and nothing in QML
consumed it.
gamepadAt() is an internal helper; drop Q_INVOKABLE so it isn't
part of the public QML surface.
A mapped LayerShell surface prevents KWin from using DRM direct
scanout for fullscreen windows. Setting showing=false fades out
the HUD then sets visible=false, unmapping the Wayland surface
and allowing KWin to bypass the compositor render loop entirely
for the game frame.
The HUD reappears when the game exits or is minimised. Error
toasts still work because a failed launch never produces a
fullscreen window, so showingWindow remains false.
Connect to gameLaunched and gameLaunchFailed signals. Launch
toasts dismiss after 3 s; error toasts after 5 s with a red
background. The window grows downward from the HUD pill to
accommodate the toast pill.
When recentGamesChanged fires, the most recently played game
is stored in quickResumeGame. While set, the HUD pill widens
leftward to show the game name and a play button that calls
launchByStorageId directly — no need to open Game Center.
Star badge on pinned tiles (passive Kirigami.Icon, no event
handlers to avoid pointer-feedback loops). Pin/Unpin action
and per-game FPS cap + overlay rows added to the details dialog.
Per-game FPS and overlay rows use ButtonGroup with a Global
option that deletes the per-game key and falls back to the
global quick-settings value.
Remove isCurrent from info button visibility; add Menu and I
key handlers on the grid for keyboard/gamepad access to details.
Inject MangoHud when launching desktop and command-line games.
MANGOHUD_CONFIG is built per-launch via a QProcess instance so
env vars are isolated to each child process — qputenv is not used.
Global overlay toggle and FPS cap (Off/30/40/60) are stored as
properties on GameLauncherProvider and reflected in the quick
settings panel. Per-game overrides stored in plasmamobilerc under
[GamingPerGame/<storageId>] take precedence over the globals at
launch time.
Games can be pinned to the top of the grid. The pinned set is
persisted in plasmamobilerc [GamingPinned] and restored on start.
applyFilter() uses stable_sort so pinned games float to the top
while alphabetical order is preserved within each group.
Read the Waydroid allowlist from plasmamobilerc and treat matching
Waydroid launchers as their own source in the gaming shell.
Surface that source in Game Center so Android titles get their own tab,
source chip, and empty-state guidance.
Record recent launches only after the launcher reports success instead of
optimistically on every attempt. For desktop entries, wait for the
ApplicationLauncherJob result; for detached commands, use startDetached's
return value and show an inline error when startup fails.
Parse Steam libraryfolders and app manifests as KeyValues instead of
matching individual lines. This makes Steam discovery less brittle when
the files contain comments, nested blocks, or different formatting.
Keep Continue Playing visible alongside Running and show a temporary
launching state so the overlay does not pretend a task already exists.
Rename the GameMode status text to say what the shell actually knows.
Use SDL button labels so shell prompts match the connected
controller instead of always using Xbox-style wording. Expose
trigger rumble, touchpad count, gyro, and accelerometer support
through the gamepad wrapper and surface the relevant capability
labels in the overlay.
Enable background gamepad events and add short rumble feedback
for major shell actions such as opening quick settings, opening
the exit prompt, and launching a game.
Expose missing gaming controls directly in the panel so they
remain reachable in convergence mode. Add toggles for DND,
Launch Hint, Night Color, and Perf Overlay with gamepad focus
order updates.
Restyle brightness and volume sliders with rounded Plasma-themed
tracks and handles to remove harsh bar visuals while keeping
existing behavior unchanged.
Add PowerProfileControl and GameModeControl singletons and wire
them into gaming mode lifecycle handling. When gaming mode turns
on, keep DND on, switch to the performance profile when available,
and request GameMode. Restore previous state when gaming mode
turns off.
Add an overlayEnabled property in GameLauncherProvider so the
launcher can toggle MangoHud environment variables from QML.
Slide-out panel with brightness, volume, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth,
and airplane mode. Fully gamepad-navigable; D-pad and stick
input routed to the panel while open. System status bar
(clock, battery, connectivity) added to game center header.
Lutris games discovered from ~/.local/share/lutris/pga.db,
Heroic from ~/.config/heroic/store_cache/ JSON files.
Deduplication extended to cover all launcher sources.
Desktop entries launched via KIO::ApplicationLauncherJob to
expand Exec field codes. Generic commands parsed with
KShell::splitArgs. SQLite uses RAII cleanup guard.
Clamped SDL axis, rumble, and LED values. Renamed rumble
params from frequency to intensity. GamepadManager uses
singleton factory. setPlayerIndex checks SDL return.
FavouritesBar popup uses screen virtualX/Y for multi-monitor.
Show a PlaceholderMessage in the grid when no games are found,
with context-aware text for empty library vs no search results.
Map gamepad A to activate and X to close in RunningGamesView.
Update the legend bar to show X: Close when running tasks are
visible.
Both launch() and launchByStorageId() duplicated the process
spawn, signal emission, and timestamp bookkeeping. Move it to
a single private launchEntry(GameEntry&) method.
LB/RB cycle through source filter tabs (All/Steam/Desktop).
Start toggles focus between the search field and the grid.
Right stick Y-axis smoothly scrolls the grid at 60 Hz with
speed proportional to deflection. Update the gamepad legend
to show the new bindings.
When a game appears as both a Steam manifest and an XDG
desktop entry, drop the desktop duplicate. Steam entries are
preferred because they carry cover artwork and route through
the Steam launcher for Proton compatibility.
