Narrow the terminal tools excluded from Stylix to nvim alone. nvim keeps its dedicated gbprod/nord.nvim colorscheme, which is richer than the base16 mapping Stylix would apply. tmux and fish are now Stylix-managed. Drop the hand-written Nord colours from the tmux status bar so Stylix themes the status and pane styles, keeping the minimal layout (session name plus window list) reapplied after Stylix so it still wins.

What to build
Theme the whole new graphical layer Nord from a single source, and set the wallpaper.
Add Stylix as a flake input and a desktop theming module that drives colors, system fonts, and cursor from one Nord base16 scheme across the graphical surface (GTK, Qt, and the compositor colors), plus a single static Nord wallpaper set by Stylix. Scope Stylix to the graphical layer only: leave its targets for the existing terminal tools (nvim, tmux, fish) off so their established hand-themes stand unchanged. The theming is reversible per target, so individual surfaces can migrate toward or away from manual theming later.
Acceptance criteria
- Stylix is a flake input, wired into the host build.
- A desktop theming module resolves a single Nord base16 scheme and applies it to GTK, Qt, cursor, and system fonts.
- A single static Nord wallpaper is set by Stylix; no dynamic, animated, or cycling wallpaper.
- The Stylix target for nvim is off, leaving its existing theme untouched (narrowed from nvim + tmux + fish during review, see notes).
- neogaia builds green under
nix flake check, and an eval probe confirms the resolved scheme is Nord.
Implementation Notes
-
Wallpaper is a generated Nord gradient, not a shipped image. Stylix requires an
image, and the spec asks only for "a single static Nord wallpaper". Rather than commit a binary blob or fetch one over the network at build time, the module draws a vertical gradient across the Nord Polar Night shades (#2E3440→#3B4252) with ImageMagick. It is static, genuinely Nord, and fully reproducible with no external dependency beyond a cached build tool. Swapping in a picture later is a one-line change toimage. -
The nvim target is
nixvim, notneovim. nvim here is configured through nixvim, so the Stylix target that would theme it isnixvim. Disablingneovimwould have been a no-op and left nvim themed. -
Only nvim is excluded from Stylix (narrowed during review). The task first turned the nvim, tmux, and fish targets all off. In review the operator narrowed that to nvim alone, so tmux and fish are now Stylix-managed. nvim stays off because its
gbprod/nord.nvimcolorscheme is a purpose-built, treesitter-aware theme, richer than the generic base16 mapping Stylix's neovim target would apply. fish had no colour theme of its own, so handing it to Stylix is a clean addition. tmux carried a hand-written Nord status bar, so its colour lines are removed fromextra.confand Stylix now themes the status and pane styles, while the operator's minimal layout (session name plus window list, empty right side) is kept and reapplied after Stylix so it still wins. -
Cursor generation switched on explicitly. home-manager now wants
home.pointerCursor.enableset explicitly rather than inferring it from the presence of cursor settings, so the module sets it to silence the deprecation and keep the build warning-clean (bar the pre-existing benign nixvimnixpkgs.followsnotice). -
System font pinned to JetBrains Mono. The acceptance criterion asks for "system fonts" without naming one, so the monospace is pinned to JetBrains Mono and the serif/sans/emoji families are left at Stylix's Nord-coherent defaults.
