nixmox

Nix utilities for creating GTK+ and icon themes with Oomox/Themix project tools

Getting started

This repo exposes a Nix flake. You can use it the same you you would any other flake, eg.

{
  inputs = {
    nixmox.url = "github:Sorixelle/nixmox";
  };
}

If you're not using flakes, you can pull the default.nix file in the root of this repo in whichever way works best for you (niv, builtins.fetchTarball, etc.):

let
  nixmox = builtins.fetchTarball { url = "https://github.com/Sorixelle/nixmox/archive/<commit_hash>.tar.gz"; };
in ...

Usage

All packages provided are defined on packages.<system>, or added to Nixpkgs if using the overlay:

• oomox - The base oomox GUI package. It doesn't contain any plugins - see the Plugins section below for how to add some.
• oomoxFull - The oomox GUI + all known plugins. Useful if you just want access to everything without going through manual customization steps.
• oomoxPlugins - The set of all oomox plugins provided.

There's also a Nixpkgs overlay, defined at overlay that contains the same packages.

Plugins

To add plugins to the built oomox derivation, you can use oomox.withPlugins like so:

{
  oomoxWithPlugins = oomox.withPlugins (ps: [
    ps.base64
    ps.icons-suruplus
    ps.theme-materia
  ]);
}

List of currently avaliable plugins:

• base64
• export-xresources
• icons-archdroid
• icons-gnome-colors
• icons-numix
• icons-papirus
• icons-suruplus
• icons-suruplus-aspromauros
• import-image
• import-xresources
• theme-materia
• theme-oomox

Generate themes

Each icon and theme plugin also has a generate function, which can be used to create a derivation which will build a theme or icon pack from an oomox theme file.

Sample usage:

{
  myTheme = oomoxPlugins.theme-oomox.generate {
    name = "my-theme";
    src = ./my-theme.theme;
  };
}

In this example, myTheme will be a package containing your theme, at share/themes (or share/icons for icon packs).

All plugins require the following parameters:

• name: The name of the theme,
• src: Path to an oomox theme file. You can get this file by saving a theme in the oomox GUI, then copying it from ~/.config/oomox/colors/<theme_name>.

Some plugins accept additional parameters:

theme-oomox:

• hidpi: Whether to generate GTK+2 assets with 2x scaling.
• gtkVariant: Which variant of the GTK+3 theme to build. One of all, gtk3, or gtk320
