1. KDE Usability & Productivity: Week 65
  
  By Nate from Adventures in Linux and KDE
  Here’s week 65 in KDE’s Usability & Productivity initiative, and I’m happy to announce a long-anticipated improvement: High DPI support in Gwenview! Check it out:
  
  New Features
  
  It’s now possible to deselect individual wallpapers so they aren’t included in the slideshow rotation (David Redondo, KDE Plasma 5.16.0):
  
  Okular now lets you expand and collapse all annotations at once (Joao Netto, KDE Applications 19.08.0)
  
  Gwenview now has support for High DPI screens, including with a fractional scale factor (Lukaz Hetznecker and Alexander Volkov, KDE Applications 19.04.0):
  
  The Meta+E global launch shortcut for Dolphin that I mentioned a few weeks ago unfortunately got reverted for the Applications 19.04 release, but will be back in the 19.08 release, in a more technically correct form (me: Nate Graham, KDE Applications 19.08.0)
  
  Bugfixes & Performance Improvements
  
  Fixed the dropdown menu in the Cuttlefish icon viewing app so that its dropdown menu is actually visible (me: Nate Graham, KDE Plasma 5.16.0):
  
  Fixed a bug that could cause desktop icons to show up in the wrong positions when switching between multiple activities while using more than one display (Oleg Solovyov, KDE Plasma 5.16.0)
  
  Windows that have been marked as “keep above other windows” now correctly hide themselves when invoking the “Show Desktop” functionality (Vlad Zagorodniy, KDE Plasma 5.16.0)
  
  After downloading a new cursor theme, the current cursor theme now remains selected in the grid (Dan Leinir Turthra Jensen, KDE Plasma 5.16.0)
  
  Okular now has improved performance when scrolling with a touchscreen or drawing tablet (Kezi Olio, KDE Applications 19.04.0)
  
  User Interface Improvements
  
  The Meta+L shortcut can now be used by default to lock the screen (me: Nate Graham, KDE Plasma 5.16.0)
  
  The wallpaper chooser’s user interface now has perfect horizontal and vertical alignment for the buttons and comboboxes of the Color and Slideshow wallpaper plugins (Filip Fila, KDE Plasma 5.16.0):
  
  List items in the Kickoff Application Launcher now have more compact side margins, which particularly looks good when using a panel on the side or top of the screen (Noah Davis, KDE Plasma 5.16.0):
  
  The “this file is executable” dialog now uses legible and comprehensible icons in the buttons (me: Nate Graham, KDE Frameworks 5.57):
  
  We have a fancy new icon for Sublime Merge (KDE Frameworks 5.57):
  
  When a document in Kate is changed on disk by another app, Kate now asks only once whether or not to reload it (Loh Tar, KDE Frameworks 5.57)
  
  Kate can now automatically reload an open document that’s changed on disk by another application, allowing it to be used as a log viewer if desired (Loh Tar, KDE Frameworks 5.57)
  
  Next week, your name could be in this list! Not sure how? Just ask! I’ve helped mentor a number of new contributors recently and I’d love to help you, too! You can also check out https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved, and find out how you can help be a part of something that really matters. You don’t have to already be a programmer. I wasn’t when I got started. Try it, you’ll like it! We don’t bite!
  
  If you find KDE software useful, consider making a donation to the KDE e.V. foundation.
