Hiya folks,
I’m very new to nixos, but have been tinkering with various linux distros for years. I love it!
I’m running sway, waybar, have set up my laptop volume/brightness, etc. and want to look at theming!
NB I am not using flakes, because there seems to be a little “uncertainty” around their future, documentation, etc.
I expect my home.nix is setup very badly, but I’ve followed stylix guides as best as I can understand.
{ pkgs, config, lib, ... }:
let
stylix = pkgs.fetchFromGitHub {
owner = "danth";
repo = "stylix";
rev = "...";
sha256 = "...";
};
in {
overlays = lib.mkOption {
description = "List of overlays.";
default = [];
type = lib.types.raw;
};
imports = [ (import stylix).homeManagerModules.stylix ];
stylix = {
enable = true;
autoEnable = true;
image = ./wallpaper.png;
};

# manage.
home.username = "nathan";
home.homeDirectory = "/home/nathan";
# This value determines the Home Manager release that your configuration is
# compatible with. This helps avoid breakage when a new Home Manager release
# introduces backwards incompatible changes.

# You should not change this value, even if you update Home Manager. If you do
# want to update the value, then make sure to first check the Home Manager
# release notes.

Any help or guidance (general or specific!) very much appreciated
