This week in KDE: HDR is coming to the Plasma desktop🖥️!

HDR changes the luminance and colors of graphics, allowing for brighter and more detailed highlights, darker and more-detailed shadows, and a wider array of intense colors.

Photo of a an HDR video playing on a non-HDR desktop environment. The colors of the video are much more intense and vivid, making the background desktop environment look drab in comparison.
Graphic comparing the color in the sRGB colorspace (the triangle), commonly used in modern desktop environments, to what a human eye can actually perceive (the grey surrounding area).

@kde Eagerly waiting for this. I got an expensive HDR, 144hz monitor recently but only been able to get 144hz working properly.

Soon HDR(even if limited) : ✅

Last thing I think will be smooth scaling for Wayland and xwayland apps. For now, i have to enable letting xwayland apps handle their scaling option. But it's hit or miss.
