This week in KDE: Plasma 6 features
We’re hot on the heels of Akademy 2023, which proved to be a fertile space for collaboration. As a result, in addition to the background work being done to stabilize Plasma 6, a bunch of new …
Will be fun to try this when it comes. Maybe at the same time as the new Cosmos desktop from system76...
How can I hear the new sound, I didnt find any links
Who had the idea that more Windows-like plingplong sounds is good?
At least you can turn them off!
But the real questions is, can we change them?
Imagine this:
- Good thing → Zelda chest opening sound.
- Bad thing →The Office "Oh, god, please no."
- User interaction → Honking goose.
- Log in → Futurama "Welcome to the world of tomorrow!"
- Log out →AOL "You've got mail"
Why not? Sounds are a subtle and quick indicator that something went good or bad. And if you find a particular action too repeating you can turn that sound off.
It's not subtle when all if the desktop plingplogs all the time about everything. Those things should be off by default and turned on only on demand in the accessibility settings for the visually impaired.
If it doesn't matter for some and it's an annoyance for others, it should be off and visually impaired people who rely on that can turn it on (unless their screen reader tells them anyway, then a second sound is useless for them as well).
