I’m seeing a bunch of Yellow dots on a bunch of different things in the System Settings.
I cant find the answer as to what they mean.
Thought they were notifications for updates, but after updating they are still there.
So why are there yellow dots spattered about in my System Settings?
Can someone please enlighten me?
I tried searching the web and the forums for:
“yellow dots System Settings menu Garuda Linux KDE Desktop”
“Garuda Linux System Settings yellow dots menu”
“KDE Plasma 6 System Settings menu highlights”
“KDE Plasma 6 System Settings yellow dots”
I even tried the KDE wiki, searching - “Settings menu Yellow dots”
Can not find an answer.
