A slight UX change in Plasma 6.4.1

Those of you upgrading to Plasma 6.4.1 (released yesterday) may notice a more substantive change than the type we typically make in bug-fix releases: The “highlight window” effect for Task Manager thumbnails is now off by default. This is the effect that makes other windows fade out when you hover over a window’s thumbnail.

Interesting that GOV UK was cited. Is this retained legislation that affects the UK too, rather than solely the EU (and Switzerland)?

As a Brit, let me assure you that ever since Brexit, we treat EU legislation like “The Hokey Cokey”. For bits we’re in, for bits we’re out.

@bja, I’m English too, and about to meet with for the Wymondham Police and Crime Commissioner for a technical consultation, so I wanted some confirmation, since this should affect their choices. I’d also like to know because I’m about to become the sole technically proficient councillor where I live, and don’t want to provide inaccurate advice. You’re right that it’s a mess.

Aw jaysus. I feel for you. :grimacing:

From the gov website.

Legislation originating from the EU
When the UK left the EU, legislation.gov.uk published EU legislation that had been published by the EU up to IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.). On legislation.gov.uk, these items of legislation are kept up-to-date with any amendments made by the UK since then.

EU Legislation and UK Law. It seems anything pre-31 December 2020 was adopted into UK law.

@bja, thanks. It’s from 2019-04-17, so that would explain why so much of GOV UK is WCAG compliant. Makes me feel all patriotic.
