The constantly moving timer also makes notifications more distracting. I would prefer improved battery life and less distracting notifications over having the timer. At the least, I would like to see an option to disable the timer. 2477998 1 nate 2025-12-18 21:44:44 +0000 *** Bug 513336 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 2478738 2 bug-janitor 2025-12-22 15:25:37 +0000 A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/6114 2480847 3 nate 2025-12-31 16:55:36 +0000 Git commit 2bd23f27997ba66feee5fbf3785dbd16993efe29 by Nate Graham, on behalf of Anton Birkel.
