KDE Developers about the implementation fractional scaling for Wayland-based Plasma desktop sessions. This feature allows you to choose the optimal size of elements on screens with a high pixel density (HiDPI), for example, you can increase the displayed interface elements not by 2 times, but by 1.5. The changes will be included in the next release of KDE Plasma 5.17, which October 15th. GNOME has introduced the ability to use fractional scaling since release 3.32.
There are also several improvements in the Dolphin file manager.
When disabled in the media autoplay settings in the side information panel, media files can now be played manually by clicking on their associated thumbnail. Added an "Add to Places" action to the File menu to place the current directory in the Places panel. A new monochrome icon has been used to launch the terminal, and only colored icons have been used for the settings sections.
A new warning has been implemented that is displayed when trying to run a file by double-clicking, if this file does not have the execution permission flag set. The dialog allows you to set the executable bit on such files, which is useful, for example, when downloading executable images of self-contained packages such as AppImage.
