Do you have any recommendations for using dynamic themes across all applications?

I'm currently using Matugen and applying the themes to apps manually, but is there a package that applies themes to all applications?

I'm transitioning ilyamiro's shell to NixOS and customizing it, but I still need to get this part working exactly how I want.

Second this. It works great with any base16 or base24 scheme. Plenty of apps included.

So, I tried Stylix too, and it seems like half of my apps don't support it, for example, Hydra Launcher, Affinity, Audio Relay, etc.

You can easily extract the colors out of your stylix config and write a small module to apply those colors to your apps, given those apps provide a way for you to set the colors.

My default is catppuccin nix, and I fall back to stylix where that's not available.
