Setting Specific Colors via NixOS Variables

[anotherhadi]

Hi everyone,

I'm a NixOS user looking for the best way to enforce a specific colorscheme using my NixOS configuration variables. I have the precise Hex codes.

• Is it possible to pass specific Hex color codes directly from NixOS variables to the caelestia config files?
• What is the recommended declarative approach under NixOS? Should I patch/overwrite a colorscheme file during the NixOS build? How?

Any insight on NixOS integration for the colorscheme is appreciated!

Thanks!

You can check how I did it here: https://github.com/anotherhadi/nixy/blob/main/home/system/caelestia-shell/scheme.nix

It's working but kind of a hacky way to do it..

Can map a file in like this, then can sub variables, and doesn't affect your build time. I'm using home-manager though.
