## To-do
[ ] Collect stuff
[x] Think up a slogan
"It's all about the Plasmoids"
[x] Decide which features and advantages to focus on
- The pop-ups of Plasma widgets in the panel are now resizable from their edges and corners just like normal windows, and they remember the sizes you set, too!
- It’s now easier to preview wallpapers: just click on them and the desktop will change to show you what the wallpaper would look like
- You can now click on a letter header in Kickoff’s “All Applications” view to be taken to a view where you can choose a letter and be zoomed right to the apps that start with that letter
- Plasma now supports wallpapers with different images displayed when using a light color scheme vs a dark color scheme
- It's possible to select if apps will be scaled by the compositor or by themselves to avoid having blurry apps on Wayland
- Animated images can now be used as wallpapers, either standalone, or even as a part of a slideshow
- In the Plasma Wayland session, it’s now possible to disable middle-click paste
- Quite a lot of Plasma widgets have gained improved accessibility characteristics, after using them with a screen reader
- Support for keyboard navigation in more applets (this one is not on Nate's blog posts but many applets got support for keyboard navigation in this version. The merged changes can be seen on the 5.26 merge requests page).
- Typing in the Overview effect now filters windows when there are any matching the search text, in addition to doing a KRunner search when no open windows match the search text
- In the Plasma Wayland session, it’s now possible to adjust how a graphics tablet’s input area maps to your screen coordinates
- Kickoff now has a new non-default “Compact” mode that lets you see more items at the time.
- System Settings’ Night Color page now lets you use a map to choose a manual location
- When using a horizontal panel, Kickoff can now be configured to display text and/or remove the icon
- Support for re-binding the buttons of a multi-button mouse
- On System Settings’ Night Color page, you can now set a day color in addition to a night color
- Discover now lets you choose the frequency with which it notifies you about new updates
- Discover now displays content ratings for apps
- Discover now lets you change the name used for submitting a review
- Discover now has a “Share” button on each app’s details page
