helix: could colors be improved?

[EdwinLeeford]

I currently disable Stylix for Helix, it appears that some unique colors are lost compared to default themes, see below.

I tested solarized-dark, darcula and catppuccin-mocha.

helix: could colors be improved?

Currently, we do not own the Helix color definitions:

stylix/flake.nix

Lines 20 to 23 in 4bfd32c

	base16-helix = {
	url = "github:tinted-theming/base16-helix";
	flake = false;
	};

Until we implement color schemes ourselves, these requests should go upstream, although this is already on the roadmap:

• (4) Extend and standardize color scheme

Thanks for the detailed answer, I checked and this was partially addressed in 27cf1e6, templates/default.mustache 2 weeks ago. This does not seem to be reflected in Stylix though.

Our monthly nix flake update triggers tomorrow, which should include this patch then.
