Quite a change of course, but I switched over to KDE Plasma, themed using Matugen instead of Stylix. The "overhead" of letting Home-manager/Stylix symlink other files across my home directory didn't sit well with me.

I had to chmod a couple of gtk-related dirs and files, in order to prevent Plasma from modifying them though. Here's my setup with Matugen:

Apps (clockwise from left):
Dolphin, Qalculate! (GTK), Qalculate! (Qt), Nautilus

This is the kind of uniform theming I wanted.

#archlinux #nixos #stylix #ricing #matugen #plasma #gnome #gtk #qt #unixporn
Stylix is amazing on Arch Linux - it makes GTK and Qt apps themed similarly

TIL that it works well outside NixOS. Looking forward to see if I can switch over to KDE Plasma from GNOME in anticipation of extensions breaking with release 50.

#stylix #archlinux #gnome #kde #plasma #nixos
Does anyone know how to tell #Stylix to make sure that text is high contrast when generating a system theme from an image?
Does anyone know of a central application theme management similar to #stylix for #ubuntu? I don’t want to do each app one by one.
Based on actual events #NixOS #Stylix

Spent some time customizing my #Mangohud settings. #Stylix sets the font size but doesn't have a way to change it independently, and it assumes the font scaling works the same as everything else, and it 100% does not.

Anyway it looks nice and works well!

I have implemented a bunch of stuff in my #NixOS config today

Among them

  • #Stylix
  • User Profile Icon (Previously entirely missing or only logged in at best)
  • Happyness
  • Cursor Theme that works across all of the Desktop Frameworks
  • GitHub Dark Theme system wide (I just think it looks nice)

As long as I don't use Flatpak's (which for some reason is broken and I couldn't figure out why) shit looks perfect!

#Stylix seems like a great idea, but it's utterly incompatible with my #nixos configuration. Whether it is it struggling with Gnome maybe being installed but not always, or completely breaking Gnome File Manager (Just... Grey Rectangles instead of functional windows), there's a lot of weirdness that just makes it not ideal for my system. Which makes me kinda sad since I was hoping to finally have consistent theming across #KDE and #Gnome applications.
I tried to use #Stylix on #NixOS but because of how I built out my NixOS config, meaning that Stylix crashes out because it's unable to determine if Gnome is enabled yet :(
