Normally opening Help->About gives the version number of the application. In this case, no. I got the version number from Help->Report Bug , not exactly intuitive. A small complaint, but easy to fix. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start System Settings 2. Click Help->About 3. Read Actual Results: Version number should be somewhere in the text. Expected Results: Version number is nowhere in the text.
There is a separate "Version" tab in the About dialog of each KDE application.

(In reply to Christoph Feck from comment #1) > There is a separate "Version" tab in the About dialog of each KDE application. Unfortunately my report was totally unclear. There is no System Settings->Help->About tab. I should have written System Settings->Help->About KDE Which is where I always look for the version number of the KDE release on my system. The version number of the application and the framework (I think this means the KDE release) is available at System Settings->Click Help->About System Settings. BTW: There is no version number tab in the window that appears at System Settings->Help->About KDE Sorry about the lack of clarity - jon
There is no "KDE version", because KDE is the community, not the software.

I went thru the nearly pointless clock business when 4.x.x was out years ago when I was using Mandriva. bliss bliss

About KDE in konsole does not give any version info on Kubuntu 16.04. The information is needed.
Please read comment #4 and comment #6. If you need the Plasma version, use KInfoCenter, not Konsole.
KInfoCenter --> Help --> About KDE Info Center --> this shows KDE info center version info KInfoCenter --> Help --> About KDE --> this does not show KDE version, is a bug. Shoud show KDE version.
Please read comment #4. There is no KDE version. KInfoCenter displays the Plasma version, see e.g. screenshot at http://i.imgur.com/7zJ5HZr.png

There are KDE versions, it's just that KDE's distributed software has been - according to this https://www.kde.org/download/ - separated in to Applications, Desktop, and Framework and so now there are versions for all of these. So yes with hostile pedantry one can claim "There is no KDE version." truthfully. But also truthfully there are KDE versions, just that there is no single KDE version as the [KDE] software has been separated out and now several version numbers are needed to specify the full nature of the KDE software installed. $ sudo apt show plasma-workspace libkf5coreaddons5 | grep -E "Package|Version" will give the Plasma Workspace and KDE framework (KF) version numbers eg on a Kubuntu system. Aside: TBH, that kde.org/download/ page is one of the worst web pages I've seen, the homepage offers a big call to action "get KDE software" and that page offers the casual explorer nothing. If you ignore the big button that promises downloads and instead follow a news item from the homepage (eg https://dot.kde.org/2016/07/05/kde-plasma-57) then you'll find that you get download links with version numbers and a tiny bit of visual design to help guide you. It looks designed to prevent people from installing KDE.
