KDE

This Week in Plasma brings a massive performance improvement to Spectacles screen recordings, a cleaner login screen for multi-monitor setups, and a less cluttered configuration page for displays.

@kde Should the 'Primary' option be a combo box (with no other options) or a check box? Seems like check box would be the better control to use?

@kde
Cleaner log in in what way?
One of my monitors is portrait, and I get a sideways login on it. Is that screen going to stop having the login on it? If yes, I will be quite pleased - I want only my primary display to have the login.

@hellomiakoda @kde Seems like it's that. Quoting from the linked post:

> On the lock and login screens, The clock and interactive UI elements are now only shown on one screen at a time when using a multi-screen setup; they fade out on screens without the pointer or keyboard focus, leaving those screens free to display pretty wallpapers.

@kde maybe a bit useless to ask this here but will there be a login only on my main screen? What happens is my main screen loads first, I start typing my password, then my second screen "loads" and its login captures my keyboard resulting in me typing half my password on my main screen, then the other half on my second screen.

@kde I want to use this but it, for no reason, uses a web browser just to work. So still waiting on the removal of that :(
