The KDE Project released today the public beta version of the upcoming KDE Plasma 5.25 desktop environment series, which promises numerous new features, improvements, and more customization options.

KDE Plasma 5.25 is packed with lots of new features, including full control of the Tablet Mode from both Wayland and X11 sessions, a smooth cross-fade effect when changing between old and new color schemes, a new “Crashed Processes Viewer” app, and new finger-following touchpad gestures for touch-friendly devices.

Also new is a configuration window for KRunner, support for configuring all the buttons of Wacom ExpressKey Remote devices, the ability to access and manipulate Plasma layouts assigned to other screens from a central location in the global Edit Mode toolbar, as well as a new floating mode for the panel that detaches it from the bottom of the screen to look more like a dock.
