Welcome to a new issue of "This Week in Plasma"! Every week we cover as much as possible of what's happening in the world of KDE Plasma and its associated apps like Discover, System Monitor, and more.

This week the focus was on landing final Plasma 6.3 features and UI changes… and land them we did! Now it's time to spend the next month exclusively on bug-fixing and polishing.

When notifications arrive while "Do Not Disturb" mode is engaged, exiting that mode now shows a single notification informing you of how many you missed, rather than sending them all in a giant unmanageable flood. (Fushan Wen, 6.3.0. Link)

The desktop context menu for symbolic links now includes a "Show Target" menu item, just like one one in Dolphin. (Nate Graham, 6.3.0. Link)

If you didn't like the change in Plasma 6.2 to use symbolic icons in Kickoff's category sidebar, you can now undo it yourself; we changed the implementation to pull icons from the standard data source, so you can set them to whatever you want using the Menu Editor app. (David Redondo, 6.3.0. Link 1 and link 2)
