# KDE Plasma 6.6: Screenshot OCR, Custom Themes & More

**[omg\! ubuntu\!](https://daily.dev/sources/omgub)** · 8 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

KDE Plasma 6.6 introduces OCR text extraction in screenshots, per-app volume control via mouse wheel in the taskbar, and the ability to save custom appearance themes. The update fixes a long-standing 60Hz animation cap bug for high-refresh displays, adds QR code Wi-Fi connection support, expands virtual desktops to a 5×5 grid, and includes accessibility improvements like grayscale filters and slow keys. New optional components include Plasma Keyboard (on-screen keyboard), Plasma Login Manager (SDDM alternative), and Plasma Setup (OEM wizard). Available now for KDE Neon and rolling-release distros, with Kubuntu 26.04 LTS shipping it by default.
