What is the best way to have stylix work with QML / Quickshell?

[professional-username]

I'm trying to set up quickshell, and I thought since it uses Qt widgets it would work out of the box. It doesn't, and I'm not sure about the best approach to take, as it isn't directly themable with nixos or hm, so I need to write qml files and specify colours. qml gives me access to a "SystemPalette", but I don't think that's in any way set by stylix.

Has anyone attempted something like this before? Should I be trying to set some environment variables, or somehow set this "SystemPalette" in my nix config? Just generally quite confused about the best direction to go in.

We support modules that are not supported upstream (NixOS, Home Manager, etc.).

but I don't think that's in any way set by stylix.

Sounds like the application is not picking up the Qt theme. Might be worth investigating if this root problem can be solved.

If there is not immediate solution for quickshell to use the Qt theme, consider taking inspiration from existing /modules/<MODULE>/<PLATFORM>.nix implementations.
