Indeed, I have wanted this for years. A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/5413 A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/merge_requests/2955 Git commit eebe705df6553666eae05a3a531c062cf0349101 by Kai Uwe Broulik. Committed on 24/04/2025 at 07:31. Pushed by broulik into branch 'master'. applets/kicker: Highlight newly installed apps This tracks installed apps in kickerstaterc and keeps them highlighted in the menu until launched for a maximum of 3 days. The "All Apps" category doesn't highlight since the idea of this feature is to teach the user *where* to find the app. A timer checks for expired highlights every 24 ours. The model updates could surely be optimized but they're rare, so the added complexity isn't worth it imho.

Could there also be a (different) marking for freshly updated apps? Idea: If a updated app starts to misbehave (crashes, bugs), you might have an indicator that there is a connection between the update and the problems.

Pushed by broulik into branch 'master'. applets/kickoff: Highlight newly installed applications Adds a "New!" badge to newly installed applications. Their relevant category in the sidebar is highlighted with a green dot.
