Zen Browser?

[UnclePsymon]

Hey there, I fell in love with the Firefox based Zen Browser: https://zen-browser.app/. Is there a way to get Stylix to theme Zen? Or maybe that would be something for the future? Thx!

Is there a way to get Stylix to theme Zen?

I am unable to find the Zen browser in Nixpkgs or Home Manager.

Otherwise, supporting the Zen browser should be possible.

Hello, I guess @UnclePsymon is talking about the community maintained flake: https://github.com/0xc000022070/zen-browser-flake

It includes a home-manager module and the beta and nightly builds of zen-browser.

As reference you could use the themes from catppuccin: https://github.com/catppuccin/zen-browser

Thanks for pointing that out. In that case, supporting this external flake should be similar to the following instances:

• stylix/modules/neovim/nixvim.nix

  Lines 150 to 151 in f6c5aaa

  	(lib.mkIf (config.stylix.enable && cfg.enable && options.programs ? nixvim) (
  	lib.optionalAttrs (options.programs ? nixvim) {

• stylix/modules/neovim/nvf.nix

  Lines 25 to 27 in f6c5aaa

  	lib.mkIf (config.stylix.enable && cfg.enable && options.programs ? nvf)
  	(
  	lib.optionalAttrs (options.programs ? nvf) {

• stylix/modules/spicetify/spicetify.nix

  Line 14 in f6c5aaa

  lib.optionalAttrs (options.programs ? spicetify) {

I have an internship right now so I can't open a PR, until I've got some time.

I'd be happy to pick it up today or tomorrow :)

This is greatly appreciated.

For reference, I have opened #1685 as a more manageable issue.

I wrote both for userChrome.css and userContent.css now usable nix files, that anybody can use if they want. They are meant to be used for the home-manager module of the zen-browser flake and can be plugged into the programs.zen-browser.profiles.<name>.userChrome and programs.zen-browser.profiles.<name>.userContent respectively.

userChrome.nix:
https://github.com/permafrozen/nivis/blob/56a3997d88e6e542f1a17924de906d1ca3757cff/module/zen-browser/userChrome.nix

userContent.nix:
https://github.com/permafrozen/nivis/blob/56a3997d88e6e542f1a17924de906d1ca3757cff/module/zen-browser/userContent.nix

Usage (line 128 & 129):
Ignore the module stuff
https://github.com/permafrozen/nivis/blob/56a3997d88e6e542f1a17924de906d1ca3757cff/module/zen-browser/default.nix

If anybody cares to create a proper stylix module feel free to use these as a base, would be nice to have an option to theme zen-browser in stylix directly.

The css is heavily inspired from: https://github.com/catppuccin/zen-browser so all credits to them

Did you need to do anything manually to get Nix to really place the two files in the user's profile? As far as I can see, I did everything you did in #1694, but the userChrome.css and userContent.css don't get symlinked (they are created tho)

Hello, thank you for contributing, I only used the home-manager module. Make sure it's enabled too. Other than that there is nothing coming to mind.
