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](https://github.com/SenchoPens/base16.nix#readme) allows you to
|
|
|
|
|
import colours from [base16](https://github.com/chriskempson/base16#readme)
|
|
|
|
|
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](https://nixos.org/) and
|
|
|
|
|
[Home Manager](https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager#readme):
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- 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.

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