# 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](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.

## Resources

Please refer to the [Stylix book](https://danth.github.io/stylix/)

for instructions and a list of supported apps.

Stylix*](https://youtu.be/ljHkWgBaQWU) YouTube video by

> [!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.
