Full design decisions outlined in the Kite defaults design decisions document.

  • Many bugfixes related to scaling with many more areas of the window-decoration pixel-snapped.

  • Fix bug where titlebar grows when active changes

  • Fix bugs where resize handles not appearing

  • Fix Klassy corner radius not being applied to selection areas (“rubber bands”)

  • Fix contrast of window buttons on inactive windows or in applications

  • New option for bold icons on active window only:

  • New option for inactive button colours to be the same as active colours on hover and press.

  • New “unison hovering” option for Eaten Fruits.

  • New “Match titlebar to application colour” option (+window specific overrides) makes adding Header colours to colour schemes unnecessary - instead just click this checkbox! New options to make active titles bold and underlined.

  • New “Round all corners when no borders” option will clip the window corners to round them (both top and bottom, the latter when the titlebar is hidden). A 3rd party kwin plugin is no longer necessary to do this!

  • New pixel-snapping for window outlines.

  • New window-specific overrides options for Hide Titlebar - options for only “on maximized window” and “on windows kept behind” is for tiling window manager (e.g. Krohnkite) users.

  • Presets consolidated and tweaked. The previous work on the former default “Opal” and “Kisweet” presets can now be found in the new “Opal Fruits” preset.

  • Activating the new keep in front (“keep above”) icon can now show an accented window outline around the window.

  • Allow Exception regular expressions to match ^ and $ characters.

  • New SuessigKite, Ark, and Arkopal icons (Arkopal and Kisweet will probably be deleted in the future as I thought they were too busy - shout out if anyone wants to keep them)

  • Partial workaround to blur artefacts created due to integer blurRegion (bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=453229)

  • French translation - translations are now working so let’s get some more languages!

  • Relevant changes from Breeze 6.5.5

Thank you for continuous development of this awesome eyecandy.

For me, there is a missing clarity in this thread title.

Klassy theme v.6.5 released for Plasma 6.3+
but the full release notes titles: v6.5 for Plasma 6.5+ released

I assume the Github title is the correct one?

v6.5.2 was a backport to make v6.5.1 build on Plasma 6.3+. v6.5.2 was available when this post was made. Since most of the new changes were in v6.5, I just kept it titled 6.5 for simplicity here.

v6.5.3 will be released later today.

Thank you!

I will select branch Klassy 6.3 for an update on Plasma 6.3.6 (on MX).
Btw, is there still a branch available for Plasma 5.27.12 ?

There is no branch but there is a v5.27 tag that you can checkout for Plasma 5.27
