In the latest Plasma 6.3 Beta, you will find a new executable named kcursorgen in /usr/bin. It can convert an SVG cursor theme to the XCursor format, in any sizes you like. Although this tool is intended for internal use in future Plasma versions, there are a few tricks you can play now with it and an SVG cursor theme. Read More

The Amarok Development Squad is happy to announce the immediate availability of Amarok 3.2.1, the first bugfix release for Amarok 3.2 "Punkadiddle"! 3.2.1 features fixes for some small UI bugs, improvements for file transfers to MTP devices, and some compilation fixes for different combinations of Qt6 versions and compilers, enabling easier testing of Qt6 builds. Additionally, it is now theoretically possible to enable last.fm and gpodder.net support in a Qt6 build. However, this requires Qt6 support in liblastfm and libmygpo-qt; a functionality that is not yet included in the most recent released versions of the libraries. Read More

The Amarok Development Squad is happy to announce the immediate availability of Amarok 3.2 "Punkadiddle"! 2024 was the year that finally introduced a Qt5/KF5 based Amarok 3 release in April, and it was followed by a number of 3.x bugfix and feature releases. Now, to conclude 2024, it is time for Amarok 3.2.0. The most interesting change is probably the ability to build the same codebase on both Qt5 and Qt6. Qt5/KF5 is still the recommended, tested configuration, for now. Qt6 version should be usable, but in addition to any unknown issues, there are a number of known issues documented in README.
