Applications must be restarted to use Union.\n\nIf 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.\n\nThe 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!).\n\nIf 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.\n\nIf you’ve found a Union-specific issue, report it here.\n\n## Everything else\n\nView full changelog",
