KDE Plasma 6.7 Beta Release

Here are the new modules available in the Plasma 6.7 beta:

• plasma-bigscreen
• union

Some important features and changes included in 6.7 beta are highlighted on KDE community wiki page.

Help stress-test the Union theming system

This releases marks the first public tech preview of the new Union theming system!

To make it easier to test Union in 6.7 Beta 2 and onwards, Union can now be enabled globally by setting it as your Application Style in System Settings > Colors & Themes > Application Style. Applications must be restarted to use Union.

If you’d like to test Union with a specific application, type QT_QUICK_CONTROLS_STYLE=org.kde.union [program name] into a terminal, where [program name] is, for example, systemsettings, plasma-systemmonitor, plasma-discover, spectacle, or any other QML-based app. Don’t set the environment variable globally, or this will break Flatpak apps.

The intention is for these apps to look as similar as possible when styled with Union to how they look without Union (though any minor visual improvements should be considered intentional!).

If you find any issues, make sure they’re Union-specific by running the app without Union, either by launching it with Breeze as your Application Style or by not overriding the QT_QUICK_CONTROLS_STYLE environment variable; this uses the current styling system so you can compare the two.

If you’ve found a Union-specific issue, report it here.
