The Netrunner development team has announced the release of Netrunner 19.01, a significant update of the projects desktop-oriented Linux distribution (with KDE Plasma) based on Debians "Testing" branch. This release brings a new default desktop theme, additional web applications, and various Plasma add-ons and tweaks: "After a busy holiday season, the Netrunner team is happy to announce the immediate availability of Netrunner 19.01 Blackbird. Here are the main updates as of our snapshot of Debian Testing: KDE Plasma 5.14.3, KDE Frameworks 5.51, KDE Applications 18.08, Qt 5.11.3, Linux Kernel 4.19, Firefox Quantum 64.0, Thunderbird 60.3. Blackbird ships with a new theme called Netrunner Black based on a dark, yet not too harsh contrasting visual. Using the Kvantum theme engine plus the Alpha-Black Plasma theme allowed us to create a more 3D-looking design. For those who prefer the classic look, going back to the well-known LNF is a three-button click explained under Tips in our current Readme section. Moving the mouse into the lower right corner now visibly activates the Minimize all Windows to show Desktop function with a light glow.
