Base16 themes for home manager

This is a fork of lukebfox/base16-nix

Differences:

• Returns support for obtaining color values from the color scheme
• Added possibility to select a template type ('default', 'color', etc)
• Removed unused files

Usage

import this flake in your 'flake.nix':

inputs.base16.url = 'github:alukardbf/base16-nix';

then, in any home-manager configuration:

home.user.${user} = { config, pkgs, lib }: {
  imports = [ base16.hmModule ];

}

{ pkgs, lib, config, ...}:
{
  config = {

    # Choose your theme
    themes.base16 = {
      enable = true;
      scheme = "solarized";
      variant = "solarized-dark";
      defaultTemplateType = "default";
      # Add extra variables for inclusion in custom templates
      extraParams = {
        fontName = "Roboto Mono";
        fontSize = "12";
      };
    };

    # 1. Use pre-provided templates
    ###############################

    programs.bash.initExtra = ''
      source ${config.lib.base16.templateFile { name = "shell"; };}
    '';
    programs.rofi = {
      enable = true;
      theme = "${config.lib.base16.templateFile { name = "rofi"; type = "color"; };}";
    };

    # 2. Template strings directly into other home-manager configuration
    ####################################################################

    services.dunst = {
        enable = true;
        settings = with config.lib.base16.theme;
            {
              global = {
                geometry         =  "600x1-800+-3";
                icon_path =
                  config.services.dunst.settings.global.icon_folders;
                alignment        = "right";
                font = "${fontName} ${fontSize}";
                frame_width      = 0;
                separator_height = 0;
                sort             = true;
              };
              urgency_low = {
                background = "#${base01-hex}";
                foreground = "#${base03-hex}";
              };
              urgency_normal = {
                background = "#${base01-hex}";
                foreground = "#${base05-hex}";
              };
              urgency_critical = {
                msg_urgency = "CRITICAL";
                background  = "#${base01-hex}";
                foreground  = "#${base08-hex}";
              };
        };
     };
  };
}

Reloading

Changing themes involves switching the theme definition and typing home-manager switch. There is no attempt in general to force programs to reload, and not all are able to reload their configs, although I have found that reloading xmonad and occasionally restarting applications has been enough.

You are unlikely to achieve a complete switch without logging out and logging back in again.

Todo

Provide better support for custom schemes (currently it is assumed that you'll use something in base16 repositories, but there is no reason to).

Updating Sources

If you're using nix flakes:

• Fork this repository
• cd into repository dir
• Enter nix develop and then run update-base16
• Commit and push new files

If you're not using nix flakes:

• cd into repository dir
• Run update_sources.sh
