    This is the basic KDE Plasma desktop. These applications are common programs usually found in base KDE SC 4 installations. They provide core desktop environment functionality. These KDE base programs allow users to operate, manage and control their desktop and programs easily and flexibly.

    Wndow Management
    Discover KWin, KDE's reliable and flexible window manager with hardware accelerated effects for added beauty and usability.
    Search and Launch Interface
    The traditional "Run Command" window has become a "power launcher" with not only command launching but also desktop search, a calculator and even online Wiki look ups. Find out how to use this new interface, called "KRunner", to streamline your workflow.

    The new control center for KDE platforms.

    The Applications
