TintedNix is a configuration management tool designed to handle color schemes for various applications. It provides an easy way to manage and switch between different color schemes.
- Supports all Base16 color schemes.
- Allows live switching of color schemes via a shortcut.
- Flexible configuration options for target applications. TODO: Provides an option for generating Hyprland shortcuts to switch color scheme. TODO: Provides an option to enable a Walker plugin which lists and switches color schemes.
To install TintedNix, add this the repo to your inputs and import the home-manager module:
{
inputs = {
nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
.
.
.
tintednix.url = "github:BBFifield/tintednix";
};
}{
# NixOS system-wide home-manager configuration
home-manager.sharedModules = [
inputs.sops-nix.homeManagerModules.sops
];
}{
# Configuration via standalone home-manager
imports = [
inputs.sops-nix.homeManagerModules.sops
];
}In addition, add the default overlay or package so you have access to all the base16 color schemes from tinted-theming. This is required to be able to define the color scheme packages you would like to install and enable in the enabledSchemes option.
Here's an example I've pulled from my own home-manager configuration inside github:BBFifield/nixos-config.
