Do Not Disturb: A Game-Changing Feature for Plasma 6.4

Last week, we took a closer look at the Do Not Disturb feature in Plasma 6.4, and we're excited to share our findings with you.

Previously, the Do Not Disturb feature was not as reliable as we had hoped. In fact, it was only used when certain conditions were met, which led to some inconsistencies and left users wondering why notifications weren't being displayed as expected. The problem lay in the way we handled notifications in fullscreen applications.

Our previous approach allowed notifications to display over top of fullscreen windows, but the Do Not Disturb feature only kicked in under specific circumstances. This was not only confusing for users, but it also meant that notifications were often ignored because the system wasn't aware of them in the first place.

So, what changed? We made a simple yet significant update to how the Do Not Disturb feature works. From now on, it will be triggered when a fullscreen window is focused – not just when the user explicitly enables it. This change is more predictable and in-line with what users would expect from this feature.

But that's not all – our update also uncovered several bugs that had been hiding in plain sight. These issues were only discovered because so few people were using the Do Not Disturb feature, thanks to our previous approach. It turns out that these bugs are now fixed, and we're confident that the feature will be more useful, reliable, and predictable for users.

Everyone involved in this project has worked tirelessly to ensure that the Do Not Disturb feature is a success. We're thrilled to see the impact of our changes, and we can't wait for you to experience the benefits for yourself.

So, what's next? As we continue to refine and improve the Do Not Disturb feature, we invite you to share your thoughts and feedback with us. How do you think this feature could be improved or expanded upon? Let us know in the comments!
