Note that the niri environment config does not propagate to apps and shells started by systemd, for example to DankMaterialShell and its application launcher.
You can set the variable in your login shell config (i.e. `~/.bash_profile`) instead, though keep in mind that then it will be set for all compositors, not just niri.
### Fullscreen games
Some video games, both Linux-native and on Wine, have various issues when using non-stacking desktop environments.

Note that these variables do not propagate to the systemd global environment, so tools and applications started by systemd do not see them.
In particular, if you start a desktop shell like DankMaterialShell through systemd, then use its built-in application launcher, the apps won't see these environment variables.
If you want all processes to see the environment variables, you can set them in your login shell config instead (i.e. `~/.bash_profile`).
The `niri-session` shell script runs through the login shell and imports all environment variables to systemd before starting niri.
Keep in mind that all compositors will see variables set in the login shell, not just niri.
### `cursor`
Change the theme and size of the cursor as well as set the `XCURSOR_THEME` and `XCURSOR_SIZE` environment variables.
