hyprpaper: init (#377) 
Initialize the 'hyprpaper' module.

In the future, it might be possible to 'unload' the one-off wallpaper to reduce
the running memory usage [1]:

> Preload does exactly what it says. It loads the entire wallpaper into
> memory. This can result in around 8 - 20MB of mem usage. It is not
> recommended to preload every wallpaper you have, as it will be a)
> taking a couple seconds at the beginning to load and b) take 100s of
> MBs of disk and RAM usage.
>
> Preload is meant only for situations in which you want a wallpaper to
> switch INSTANTLY when you issue a wallpaper keyword (e.g. wallpaper
> per workspace)
>
> In any and all cases when you don't mind waiting 300ms for the
> wallpaper to change, consider making a script that:
>  - preloads the new wallpaper
>  - sets the new wallpaper
>  - unloads the old wallpaper (to free memory)
>
> -- Hyprpaper [2]

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.

If you have any questions, you are welcome to join our Matrix room, or ask on GitHub Discussions.

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