Themes

Themes live in themes/ and define the visual defaults used by Hyprland and most apps (colors, fonts, cursor, wallpaper, bar, boot splash). Each host selects a theme by importing it from hosts/<name>/variables.nix.

What's in the example theme

The themes/example.nix file shows all supported knobs:

• backgroundImage: static or animated wallpaper, including pkgs.fetchurl examples.
• base16Scheme: use a named scheme (from the tinted gallery) or an inline custom scheme.
• polarity: dark or light, used for icon/theme choices and Stylix generation.
• Window feel: rounding, gaps, opacity, blur, border size, animation speed, fetch tool.
• Bar: position, transparency, floating mode, button styling.
• Boot splash (Plymouth): enablement, theme selection, and theme packages.
• Cursor and fonts: cursor package/name/size, mono/sans/emoji fonts, and sizes.

Add your own theme

1. Copy themes/example.nix to themes/<your-theme>.nix.
2. Edit the values you care about (wallpaper, colors, fonts, etc.).
3. In hosts/<name>/variables.nix, replace the theme import with your new file.
