Nwg-look installation help

Help
1

Hi there,

Has anyone been able to get nwg-look running on nixos? I had tried a few of the code snippets I found on github without success.

I am using Hyprland/Wayland. Or if there are any alternatives for dealing with appearance, I am all ears. lxappearence is a nogo for Wayland I believe.

Hey!
I have been exactly where you at. I manged to build nwg-look but found a better way in Nix using home manager.

you can use for example.

 gtk = {
      enable = true;
      font.name = "TeX Gyre Adventor 10";
      theme = {
        name = "Juno";
        package = pkgs.juno-theme;
      };
      iconTheme = {
        name = "Papirus-Dark";
        package = pkgs.papirus-icon-theme;
      };

      gtk3.extraConfig = {
      Settings = ''
        gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme=1
      '';
    };

      gtk4.extraConfig = {
      Settings = ''
        gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme=1
      '';
    };
    
  };

my repo for reference might help you.

Perfect! I’ll try this out. I think this is a better way anyways!

I also got interested in the way you did a bunch of stuff in here. I love the way you themed it all up.
