====Desktop Settings====


To reach desktop settings right click on the desktop and select ''Configure Desktop''. If that option isn't available(it is configurable), you can use the keyboard shortcut {{ic|Alt+D,Alt+S}}
====KCMs====
 
Settings in Plasma are provided by KDE Configuration Modules (KCM). These are the various modules or sections of ''System Settings'', but it should be noted that some KCMs are hidden from ''System Settings''. All modules can be managed and launched via the utility ''kcmshell6''.
 
To list available KCMs:
{{UserCmd|command=kcmshell6 --list}}
 
To run a particular module (replacing ''kcm_kded'' with the desired module):
{{UserCmd|command=kcmshell6 kcm_kded}}
 
====Single Click vs Double Click====
 
In order to select between single and double click for opening files and folders you can use System Settings.<br />
{{ic|System Settings -> Workspace -> General Behavior -> "Clicking files or folders"}}
 
 
====Power====
 
=====Block Power Management=====
 
The Plasma Power widget can be used to manually inhibit Screen Locking and Sleep but the ''kde-inhibit'' command can be used to manually block specific features. The following example will use all of them to inhibit each feature for as long as trailing command is running (in this case ''spotify'').
 
{{UserCmd|command=kde-inhibit --power --screenSaver --nightLight --notifications spotify}}
 
=====Disable Hibernate=====
 
Hibernation can be disabled and it's menu entries hidden with the drop-in file ''/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/99-disable-hibernate.rules''.
 
{{File|file=/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/99-disable-hibernate.rules|content=
<pre>
// Disable hibernate for all users
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
  if ((action.id == "org.freedesktop.login1.hibernate")) {
      return polkit.Result.NO;
  }
});
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
  if ((action.id == "org.freedesktop.login1.hibernate-multiple-sessions")) {
      return polkit.Result.NO;
  }
});
</pre>
}}
 
=====Disable Suspend=====
 
Suspend can be disabled and it's menu entries hidden with the drop-in file ''/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/99-disable-suspend.rules''.
 
{{File|file=/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/99-disable-suspend.rules|content=
<pre>
// Disable suspend for all users
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
  if ((action.id == "org.freedesktop.login1.suspend")) {
      return polkit.Result.NO;
  }
});
polkit.addRule(function(action, subject) {
  if ((action.id == "org.freedesktop.login1.suspend-multiple-sessions")) {
      return polkit.Result.NO;
  }
});
</pre>
}}


=====End Session Commands=====


'''Layout'''<br />
Logging out or shutting down via a command can be useful whether for a non-graphical environment or inclusion in scripts. Whenever a plasma session is involved using the following commands should be preferred over more generic options such as ''systemctl reboot''.  
Under the ''Wallpaper'' tab there is a 'Layout' option. {{ic|Desktop Settings -> Wallpaper -> Layout}}<br /> 
"Folder View" will allow you to place and interact with items on the desktop.<br />
If you do not use desktop icons (or if you need encouragement for better organization) you can use "Desktop".<br />
"Desktop" layout will not allow items on the desktop and results in almost 20 MiB of memory savings in plasmashell.


======Prompt======


====kwin-lowlatency====
DBUS provides methods to open a prompt to end a session (logout, reboot, shutdown).


If you feel that plasma, or more precisely the window manager isnt as 'snappy' as it could be (lag, stuttering, etc) when you have obviously capable hardware then there is one workaround to try. Some users report significant increases in speed and responsiveness when replacing the default window manager {{ic|kwin}} with a slightly modified and patched version - {{ic|kwin-lowlatency}}.<br />
{{UserCmd|command=qdbus6 org.kde.LogoutPrompt /LogoutPrompt promptLogout}}
The package is available in the [[AUR]] and should automatically replace {{ic|kwin}} when installed.
{{UserCmd|command=qdbus6 org.kde.LogoutPrompt /LogoutPrompt promptReboot}}
For more information see [https://github.com/tildearrow/kwin-lowlatency here].
{{UserCmd|command=qdbus6 org.kde.LogoutPrompt /LogoutPrompt promptShutDown}}
{{UserCmd|command=qdbus6 org.kde.LogoutPrompt /LogoutPrompt promptAll}}


======Immediate======


====Single Click vs Double Click====
Similar commands can be used to initiate the process without any prompt.


In order to select between single and double click for opening files and folders you can use System Settings.<br />
{{UserCmd|command=qdbus6 org.kde.Shutdown /Shutdown savesession}}
{{ic|System Settings -> Workspace -> General Behavior -> "Clicking files or folders"}}
{{UserCmd|command=qdbus6 org.kde.Shutdown /Shutdown logout}}
{{UserCmd|command=qdbus6 org.kde.Shutdown /Shutdown logoutAndReboot}}
{{UserCmd|command=qdbus6 org.kde.Shutdown /Shutdown logoutAndShutdown}}
