is there a declarative way to change the colors used by gtk (e.g. to solarized dark)?

Hi, I'm having issues with home-manager and I'd like to preface this by saying that it's my fault and I already know why everything went wrong
<rycee>
Greetings! That sounds intriguing. Hope it's not too serious!
<Edes>
I'm on the nixos 19.09 channel, but I installed home-manager with the unstable channel, this has worked fine for over a year but there were some changes to the gpg-agent nix file
<rycee>
Right. How did you install HM in the first place? Following the instructions in the README?
<Edes>
yeah
<rycee>
Can you double check that `nix eval '(<home-manager>)'` prints something like `/nix/var/nix/profiles/per-user/root/channels/home-manager`?
<rycee>
If so then try running `nix-shell '<home-manager>' -A install`

Ouch, maybe it didn't work very well :-S

oh
<Edes>
huh
<Edes>
running the install command again worked
<Edes>
it didn't work a few days ago
<rycee>
Cool! Verify that `home-manager switch` now works.
<Edes>
it does
<Edes>
thanks

Glad it works :-)

Hello there, I profit from this discussion to ask some precision about this home-manager. If I understand correctly you should have the same branch in the nix path for home manager and nixpkgs otherwise there may be some compatibility issues right?
<rycee>
immae: Yes. The master branch of HM tracks the unstable channel of Nixpkgs/NixOS and it will always at some point break compatibility with the Nixpkgs/NixOS release channels.
<immae>
ok thanks rycee
<rycee>
immae: So if you follow a release channel of Nixpkgs/NixOS you need to use the corresponding branch of Home Manager.
<immae>
rycee: I suppose it’s not important what the nixos is on right? only my user packages is important?
<immae>
(for instance, can I have nixos at 19.03 and my user nixpkgs+home manager at unstable?)
<rycee>
Correct, it depends on what `<nixpkgs>` points to.
<immae>
cool
<immae>
Thanks, I guess I’ll have to upgrade then :D
<rycee>
Hmm … unless you use the Home Manager NixOS module, in which case they need to match.
<immae>
Right. but no, I installed it as user, didn’t want to have to change it as root :)
<rycee>
Of course, you can always override nixpkgs just for HM. For example using HM 19.09 by running `home-manager -I nixpkgs=/path/to/nixpkgs-19.09` channel.
<immae>
Ok. Since all my user packages (except for hm itself) is installed via home-manager it won’t make a difference there, but thanks for the hint
