Stylix

Stylix is a NixOS module which applies the same colour scheme, font and wallpaper to a range of applications and desktop environments.

What's this?

base16.nix allows you to import colours from base16 into Nix code. Stylix takes this a step further:

  • Automatically colours and changes the font of apps
  • Sets your wallpaper
  • Exports the colour scheme to be used manually for anything we missed
  • Can also generate themes based on an image

For those not familiar with NixOS and Home Manager:

  • NixOS is a Linux distribution
  • Home Manager is a program which runs anywhere
  • Both use the Nix language and package manager
  • Both let you install programs and change settings via code

Stylix supports either NixOS + Home Manager, or Home Manager on its own. Certain features are only available with NixOS.

Resources

Please refer to the Stylix book for instructions and a list of supported apps.

For a visual guide, watch the Ricing Linux Has Never Been Easier | NixOS + Stylix YouTube video by Vimjoyer.

Note

It's now necessary to include stylix.enable = true in your configuration for any other settings to take effect. This is not mentioned in the video linked above.

KDE theming is still a work in progress - so some manual steps may be needed to apply the settings completely.
