ctp.kvantum
does not allow qt.platformTheme.name = qtct
. I use qtct to set icon theme and fonts while using kvantum.
{ lib, ...}: let
data = {
Appearance = {
custom_palette = false;
icon_theme = "Papirus-Dark";
standard_dialogs = "default";
style = "kvantum-dark";
};
Fonts = {
fixed = "\"CaskaydiaMono Nerd Font Mono,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0,Regular\"";
general = "\"Sans Serif,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0,Regular\"";
};
};
in {
qt = {
enable = true;
style.name = "kvantum";
platformTheme.name = "qtct";
# platformTheme.name = "kvantum";
};
xdg.configFile."qt5ct/qt5ct.conf".text = lib.generators.toINI {} data;
xdg.configFile."qt6ct/qt6ct.conf".text = lib.generators.toINI {} data;
}
So if possible can qtct be made an exception in
nix/modules/home-manager/kvantum.nix
Line 43 in 9345073
Did you find a solution/workaround to this?
Did you find a solution/workaround to this?
nope, just didn't use catppuccin/nix for kvantum, configured it in home-manager manually
Would you be so kind to share your configuration? I've been trying to get Qt themed but only frustrations so far.
sure,
qt = let
upperFirst = str:
(lib.toUpper (builtins.substring 0 1 str))
+ (builtins.substring 1 (builtins.stringLength str) str);
flavorCapitalized = upperFirst config.catppuccin.flavor;
accentCapitalized = upperFirst config.catppuccin.accent;
in {
enable = true;
platformTheme.name = "qtct";
style.name = "kvantum";
kde.settings."Kvantum/kvantum.kvconfig".General.theme = "Catppuccin-${flavorCapitalized}-${accentCapitalized}";
};

Thank you!
Sorry for the long wait here, I've been a bit busy with things IRL and honestly I'm not very familiar with Qt/KDE/Kvantum theming
As of #244, I was under the impression that this was required alongside qt.style.name
for the theme to apply most of the time. If this isn't the case, I'm happy to revert it; but some clarity here would be nice as it seems the Qt theming are a bit messy in general
CC @olifloof as author of that PR
i've somewhat recently switched to using the qtct port as the kvantum theme (by my experience) has had some issues with apps using qml
other than that, i'm also not very experienced with qt theming
i think this might clarify some things
the ff. must be done to set the qt theme
- setting
QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME
(with i.ekvantum
,qtct
) - setting the style theme either through the platform theme (qtct) or directly QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE
- (optional) setting the kde themes via kdeglobals (for i.e kdeconnect)
for nixos this means
qt.platformTheme.name
forQT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME
and installing the platformTheme packageqt.style.package
to install the style packageqt.style.name
or useqtct
to apply the style- (optional) apply kde theme by reading
${pkgs.catppuccin-kde}/share/color-schemes/Catppuccin${flavor}${accent}.colors
(ini to json) tokde.settings.kdeglobals
to apply the theme for qtct or kvantum config automatically use kde.settings.
or xdg.configFile
