KDE System Settings
Nixpkgs now provides the GTK configuration module for KDE system settings, which you can install with:
$ nix-env -i kde-gtk-config
You should also install any GTK themes you like. You can choose a GTK theme and set related options in System Settings > Application Appearance > GTK.
Manually
As a normal nix user you can install the Oxygen GTK theme:
$ nix-env -i oxygen-gtk
KDE will run any scripts you place in ~/.kde/env on startup so this is a good place to set the GTK_PATH so that applications can find the theme engine. If the path is wrong/unset you will see errors like this:
Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path
To set Oxygen-GTK as the gtk theme create the following file and make it executable: ~/.kde/env/set-gtk-theme.sh
#!/bin/sh
export GTK_PATH=$GTK_PATH:~/.nix-profile/lib/gtk-2.0
export GTK2_RC_FILES=$GTK2_RC_FILES:~/.nix-profile/share/themes/oxygen-gtk/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
Alternatively, on NixOS:
environment = {
systemPackages = [ pkgs.oxygen_gtk ];
shellInit = ''
export GTK_PATH=$GTK_PATH:${pkgs.oxygen_gtk}/lib/gtk-2.0
export GTK2_RC_FILES=$GTK2_RC_FILES:${pkgs.oxygen_gtk}/share/themes/oxygen-gtk/gtk-2.0/gtkrc
'';
};
Or alternatively, copy the themes folder in the home directory
$ cp -R ~/.nix-profile/share/themes/ ~/.themes
