Hi,

I would be very happy if my Union QStyle implementation would get in.

https://invent.kde.org/plasma/union/-/merge_requests/270

I do acknowledge it's a massive MR but getting this initial work in would allow me to finally work on all the bugs.

Since Union still has the "in development" name, minor bugs should not be an issue. It works rather well, just looks a bit wrong (which I will focus on next!)

I dont think its a showstopper but more like.. Pretty please? :)

Thanks,
