# Stylix

## About

Stylix is a theming framework for [NixOS](https://nixos.org), [Home

Manager](https://nix-community.github.io/home-manager#ch-introduction),

[nix-darwin](https://github.com/nix-darwin/nix-darwin#readme), and

[Nix-on-Droid](https://github.com/nix-community/nix-on-droid) that applies

color schemes, wallpapers, and fonts to a wide range of applications.

Unlike color scheme utilities such as

[base16.nix](https://github.com/SenchoPens/base16.nix) or

[nix-colors](https://github.com/Misterio77/nix-colors), Stylix goes further by

applying themes to supported applications, following the "it just works"

philosophy.

Since KDE theming is still a work in progress, some manual steps may be required

to properly apply its theme.
