Customization Guide

Configuration File

Your configuration lives in ~/.config/nomarchy/config.nix:

{
  # User settings
  username = "yourname";
  hostname = "yourhostname";
  timezone = "America/New_York";
  locale = "en_US.UTF-8";

  # Keyboard (supports multiple layouts)
  keyboardLayouts = ["us" "gr"];
  keyboardVariants = ["" "polytonic"];

  # Location for night light
  location = {
    lat = 40.7;
    lon = -74.0;
  };

  # Features
  enableSyncthing = true;
  enableMullvad = false;
  enablePrinting = true;
  enableBluetooth = true;

  # Performance (security tradeoff!)
  enableMitigationsOff = false;

  # Theme
  theme = "classical";
}

Adding Custom Modules

Create a module in ~/.config/nomarchy/:

# ~/.config/nomarchy/custom.nix
{ config, pkgs, ... }: {
  # System packages
  environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
    discord
    spotify
  ];

  # Services
  services.docker.enable = true;

  # User groups
  users.users.${config.nomarchy.username}.extraGroups = ["docker"];
}

Add it to your flake:

extraModules = [
  ./custom.nix
];

Wallpapers

Copy images to ~/.config/nomarchy/wallpapers/
Supported formats: .jpg, .png
Wallpapers rotate every 5 minutes automatically
Use Quick Actions (Super + /) → "Change Wallpaper" for immediate change

Theme Colors

The classical theme colors are defined in the theme module. To override colors in your waybar or rofi, you can create custom CSS files.

Color Palette

Name	Hex	Usage
bg.primary	`#1a1611`	Main background
bg.secondary	`#2d2620`	Panels, inputs
fg.primary	`#d4c4a8`	Main text
accent.gold	`#d4a857`	Primary accent
accent.terracotta	`#c67b5c`	Secondary accent
status.success	`#8a9a5b`	Success states
status.error	`#a63d40`	Error states

Shell Aliases

Default aliases (in ~/.zshrc via home-manager):

ls      → eza --icons
ll      → eza -l --icons
la      → eza -la --icons
update  → sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake ~/.config/nomarchy#
gc      → sudo nix-collect-garbage -d
du      → dust

Neovim

The default Neovim configuration includes:

LSP support for Nix, Lua, TypeScript, Rust, Go, Python, Markdown
Telescope for fuzzy finding
Treesitter for syntax highlighting
Git integration with gitsigns

To customize, create ~/.config/nvim/lua/custom/init.lua (loaded after main config).

Terminal (Ghostty)

Customize in ~/.config/ghostty/config:

font-size = 16
background-opacity = 0.9

Hyprland

For advanced Hyprland customization, you can add settings via home-manager:

# In your custom module
{ config, ... }: {
  home-manager.users.${config.nomarchy.username} = {
    wayland.windowManager.hyprland.settings = {
      # Add your custom settings here
      windowrulev2 = [
        "float,class:^(pavucontrol)$"
      ];
    };
  };
}

Rebuilding

After making changes:

cd ~/.config/nomarchy
sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake .#yourhostname

Or use the alias:

update
