nixos-config VS Dotfiles

I'm trying to setup NixOS with xmonad flake (something similar to this https://github.com/alternateved/nixos-config). When I try to rebuild my system, I get this error message (I got the same message when trying to build above mentioned config).

Not sure if this looks good, but I like how it works, therefore might be of interest: https://github.com/alternateved/nixos-config

I mainly use XMonad.Prompt module for session management (or whatever you would call that). I have session commands defined across those files and I use XMonad.Prompt.DirExec module to create a prompt which executes those scripts with [this line](https://github.com/alternateved/nixos-config/blob/f781c6006cd50e3e4becaa05572ccba5313f12df/config/xmonad/xmonad.hs#L279]

Feel free to peruse my config.

This is how I set my sway up. I am afraid this configuration might be a bit convoluted - I also use flakes and home-manager module.

Would you mind checking my sway configuration in nix and comparing it with yours?

I did not experience much tearing with my setup, you might check my configuration (picom part or intel one). Maybe it will be helpful anyhow.

I've set up my xmonad and xmobar as a cabal project. Here you could see xmonad and xmobar overrides. I build alternateved-xmonad binary from this directory and install it from here.

You could try switching to EZConfig and set your keybindings differently. I have that setup in my config, I find it much more readable. You would need to import XMonad.Util.EZConfig module.

to shutdown sleep etc i use rofi you can use dmenu if you want https://github.com/Sloopy3333/dotfiles/blob/master/scripts/dmenu_power.sh

xmobar can display data from unix pipes. make script that writes what you want to a pipe and let xmobar display it. like this https://github.com/Sloopy3333/dotfiles/blob/master/.config/xmonad/scripts/backlight-pipe.sh and use pipereader to display in xmobar, you just make sure that whenever you change your backlight you write that to its pipe and xmobar will display the new value.

https://github.com/jaor/xmobar/blob/master/examples/padding-icon.sh this script generates a transparent xpm icon same width as your tray size. run this as a module in xmobar wherever you want trayer to be and launch trayer to that position. take a look at this https://github.com/Sloopy3333/dotfiles/tree/master/.config/xmonad

if you mean height then yes you can. here is my old qtile config https://github.com/Sloopy3333/dotfiles/blob/master/.config/qtile/config.py#L366

https://github.com/Sloopy3333/dotfiles/blob/master/.config/emacs/elisp/completion.el#L77

take a look at line 267 in my config

i migrated from neovim to emacs just a week ago and. i made a config scouring other peoples configs, documentations etc. and i managed to learn some elisp basics so please be kind and point out any mistakes that i am doing that are very obvious to you.

that is exactly what you should do. xmobar just reads what xmonad outputs so you have to define a loghook saying what you want to output in your xmonad.hs take a look at my xmonad.hs.

here is a example example script i wrote a while back
