Nix configurations

[arunoruto]

This isn't much of an issue, but I wanted to track how to automate the ArcWTF configuration using Nix. Here is a list of things that should be done and what I have already managed to automate:

• [x] Install sidebery and userchrome toggle. This can be done either done the standard way using the store and syncing it with the profile or using the NUR. Both extensions can be found in the repository of rycee.
• [ ] Configure userchrome toggle
  • [ ] Disable notifications
  • [ ] Set the || prefix for the Style Toggle 1
• [ ] Configure sidebery css
• [x] Apply the CSS theme
  • [x] Clone the repo
  • [x] Link to .mozilla/firefox/<profile>/chrome
  • [ ] Set toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets to true
  • [ ] Set svg.context-properties.content.enabled to true

Bonus:

• [ ] Replace Firefox icon on Start Menu and Taskbar
• [x] Activate popup search/URL bar launchpad
• [x] Hide header sidebar, containing space/tab panel name
• [ ] Extend sidebar length to 250px (original: 200px)
• [ ] Other tweaks (some might've already preapplied here)
• [ ] Use Segoe UI Variable (Windows 11 default font) as Firefox UI font, as shown on preview screenshots
• [ ] Additional addons for theming

Here is a sample arcwtf.nix file:

{pkgs, ...}: let
  arcwtf = pkgs.fetchFromGitHub {
    owner = "KiKaraage";
    repo = "ArcWTF";
    # rev = "v1.2-firefox"; # This tag can't be used, since the URL bar has still issues
    rev = "bb6f2b7ef7e3d201e23d86bf8636e5d0ea4bd68b";
    hash = "sha256-gyJiIVnyZOYVX6G3m4SSbsb7K9g4zKZWlrHphEIQwsY=";
  };
  profile = "default";
in {
  programs.firefox = {
    profiles.${profile}.settings = {
      "toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets" = true;
      "svg.context-properties.content.enabled" = true;
      "uc.tweak.popup-search" = true;
      "uc.tweak.hide-sidebar-header" = true;
    };
  };

  home.file = {
    ".mozilla/firefox/${profile}/chrome" = {
      source = arcwtf;
      recursive = true;
    };
  };
}

If things change, I will update this issue!

I love it! It'd be awesome if we can find a way to config both sidebery and userchrome toggle in a single .nix file.

You can't configure sidebery and userchrome toggle in nix because they can't read files due to firefox limitations.

Instead of this you can set custom welcome page with first-startup instructions - as example with sidebery stile content and some words where to paste it. This is what I am doing now.

For about:config setting you should do this:

programs.firefox.profiles.${profile}.settings = {
      "toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets" = true;
      "svg.context-properties.content.enabled" = true;
};
