### For Nix users
The [catppuccin-gtk](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/data/themes/catppuccin-gtk/default.nix) package in Nixpkgs allows you to specify the accents, size, tweaks and variant (flavour) of the theme by overriding the package.
By default, the variant is `frappe`, the accent is `blue`, the size is `standard`, and no tweaks are enabled. To change them, override the package. A list of valid choices are available in the package definition [here](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/7ce8e7c4cf90492a631e96bcfe70724104914381/pkgs/data/themes/catppuccin-gtk/default.nix#L16).
Example:
We suggest you use [catppuccin/nix](https://github.com/catppuccin/nix).
Alternatively, you can use [catppuccin-gtk](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/data/themes/catppuccin-gtk/default.nix) from nixpkgs.
```nix
# as per wiki examples
environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
...
(catppuccin-gtk.override {
accents = [ "pink" ]; # You can specify multiple accents here to output multiple themes
size = "compact";
tweaks = [ "rimless" "black" ]; # You can also specify multiple tweaks here
variant = "macchiato";
})
...
];
```
{inputs, ...}: {
imports = [inputs.catppuccin.homeManagerModules.catppuccin];
To use it in home-manager:
```nix
# home.nix
{
config,
pkgs,
...
}: {
gtk = {
enable = true;
theme = {
name = "Catppuccin-Macchiato-Compact-Pink-Dark";
package = pkgs.catppuccin-gtk.override {
accents = [ "pink" ];
size = "compact";
tweaks = [ "rimless" "black" ];
variant = "macchiato";
};
catppuccin = {
enable = true;
flavor = "mocha";
accent = "pink";
size = "standard";
tweaks = [ "normal" ];
};
};
}
# Now symlink the `~/.config/gtk-4.0/` folder declaratively:
xdg.configFile = {
"gtk-4.0/assets".source = "${config.gtk.theme.package}/share/themes/${config.gtk.theme.name}/gtk-4.0/assets";
"gtk-4.0/gtk.css".source = "${config.gtk.theme.package}/share/themes/${config.gtk.theme.name}/gtk-4.0/gtk.css";
"gtk-4.0/gtk-dark.css".source = "${config.gtk.theme.package}/share/themes/${config.gtk.theme.name}/gtk-4.0/gtk-dark.css";
};
```

### For GTK 4 users
To theme GTK 4 applications you have to manually symlink the `~/.config/gtk-4.0/` to the themes folder. Use the following commands
