#stylix — Public Fediverse posts

How do I troubleshoot a black screen on #KDE #Plasma? I am able to launch apps just fine, but:
- the desktop is all black (no start menu, global menu etc, and the desktop background isn't getting rendered)
- the window decorations are HUGE.

Is there any easy way to debug this? I had initially suspected this was due to my using #Stylix on stock #archlinux, but no, disabling it didn't change a thing (apart from the theme).

I do have custom desktop effects and window decorations installed; so I suspect that might be the issue. How do I disable them if systemsettings does not launch (for some weird reason)?


It's definitely not a kernel issue (I've tried on the stock Arch kernel and the CachyOS kernel), and it certainly isn't a graphics issue (stock mesa etc, and I don't have a dGPU on this machine).


Will send screenshots in a while. Any and all help appreciated! Thanks in advance. Toots and boosts welcome.

I am very happy with my new #stylix setup for a unified style experience on my #nixos machines.

Thanks a lot @Hemera for reminding me of stylix!

Quite a change of course, but I switched over to KDE Plasma, themed using Matugen instead of Stylix. The "overhead" of letting Home-manager/Stylix symlink other files across my home directory didn't sit well with me.

I had to chmod a couple of gtk-related dirs and files, in order to prevent Plasma from modifying them though. Here's my setup with Matugen:

Apps (clockwise from left):
Dolphin, Qalculate! (GTK), Qalculate! (Qt), Nautilus

This is the kind of uniform theming I wanted.

Stylix is amazing on Arch Linux - it makes GTK and Qt apps themed similarly

TIL that it works well outside NixOS. Looking forward to see if I can switch over to KDE Plasma from GNOME in anticipation of extensions breaking with release 50.

Does anyone know how to tell #Stylix to make sure that text is high contrast when generating a system theme from an image?

Does anyone know of a central application theme management similar to #stylix for #ubuntu? I don’t want to do each app one by one.

Based on actual events #NixOS #Stylix

Spent some time customizing my #Mangohud settings. #Stylix sets the font size but doesn't have a way to change it independently, and it assumes the font scaling works the same as everything else, and it 100% does not.

Anyway it looks nice and works well!

I have implemented a bunch of stuff in my #NixOS config today

Among them

• #Stylix
• User Profile Icon (Previously entirely missing or only logged in at best)
• Happyness
• Cursor Theme that works across all of the Desktop Frameworks
• GitHub Dark Theme system wide (I just think it looks nice)

As long as I don't use Flatpak's (which for some reason is broken and I couldn't figure out why) shit looks perfect!

#Stylix seems like a great idea, but it's utterly incompatible with my #nixos configuration. Whether it is it struggling with Gnome maybe being installed but not always, or completely breaking Gnome File Manager (Just... Grey Rectangles instead of functional windows), there's a lot of weirdness that just makes it not ideal for my system. Which makes me kinda sad since I was hoping to finally have consistent theming across #KDE and #Gnome applications.

I tried to use #Stylix on #NixOS but because of how I built out my NixOS config, meaning that Stylix crashes out because it's unable to determine if Gnome is enabled yet :(

What if stylix could mimic platform styles? I'm trying this out with the whitesur gnome theme! :neofox:

#Stylix - the theming engine for #NixOS - is awesome. Considering how nicely it themes Plasma, I wonder how awesome my Hyprland "rice" would look. Very interesting project.
