I didn't get the graphics changes either, no British flag or shields...and no name change from England to Great Britain. However, I did get all the effects of the Act of Union, including the added core provinces. I'm also using the latest beta, playing the Grand Campaign, and have made changes only to the unitnames in the savegame files.

If you changed it, did you relabel it gbr? If you did, that is the problem...the flag is not supposed to be labeled gbr anymore.
Found An Apparent Solution
My apologies to the moderators if this qualifies as an unnecessary second posting.
In the events file for England, line 26 of the "Act of Union" event reads:
command = { type = flag which = 6 }
Change that to:
command = { type = flagname which = UK }
The English flag and shield graphics will then change to the British ones as they should when you click to accept The Act of Union during the game. I made the change, then loaded a saved game file from the campaign I've been playing where the change DIDN'T occur...worked just fine.
I mentioned the name not changing from England to Great Britain in my previous post, but, on second thought, I don't believe it ever did that to begin with. I wonder if you can write that into the event script without there being a separate "Great Britain" or "United Kingdom" file, as there is with the change from Novgorod or Muscovy to Russia, Timurid Empire to Mughal Empire, or China to Manchu and back?

Ah yes, flagname is a new command isn't it. Does everyone support making this change in this event? Looks good to me.
No, there's no way of changing a country name while playing the same country (ie TAG name), we'd have to set up an entirely new nation, which I for one am not going to do

Thanks, making that change occured to me after noticing the difference in how it was scripted in the "Act of Union" event as compared to others that change flag and shield graphics.
As far as the name change is concerned, I probably should have written "I don't believe...", rather than "I wonder...", as that was closer to my train of thought at the time. Oh well, as my son continues to remind me, your mind is the first thing to go as you get older.
This should be fixed both for England and France (if that event works the same way).
The French flag change works fine though, that event file has already been updated to make teh flag change to REV instead of the 5 or 6 it was before. The act of Union event still changes the flag to the old 5 or 6 whiel it should say UK.

Excuse me, but I think you might be minsunderstanding how it works.
The flag command isn't actually about country flags but about setting special internal bitflags the signifies that that the game engine should handle things diffrently. ToT has a flag as an example. It's just that flag 5 and flag 6 used to deal with country flags.
Now that country flag changing has been standarised it can and IMHO should be done that way. "Flags" might not even work.
Yes, evidently you also have to change the command as has been written above.
Btw the flag command still changes the flag if you put in UK in the event file, the thing is it also enables the ToT or something at the same time

Bah, cheap rip off! Though at least it is also nice, the Belgian one on the other hand is ugly

With that, I'll have to agree... but mostly because it seems to have a smaller size than an ordinary flag. What is that all about?
EDIT: I also tend to like the old German one (the black/white/red one).
BiB said:Eh, smaller size? Maybe that's because of the colours, they aren't bright and open
According to Flags of The World, the Belgian flag is smaller than other flags:
Here's the Italian flag for comparison:
