I’m curious, what do you do about VLC if you use a tiling WM ?

  • Do you ignore the pain and still use a theme ?
  • Do you not use a theme and live with it messing up your nice color scheme ?
  • Do you just not use VLC ?

    it just follows my qt theme, haven’t had any issues with vlc on swayfx

    here is my config (qt.nix, using home-manager):

    { pkgs, ...}: {
  qt = {
    enable = true;
    platformTheme.name = "qt5ct"; # compatibility with qt5, while still working with qt6
    style.name = "kvantum";
  };

  xdg.configFile = {
    "Kvantum/Catppuccin-Mocha-Peach".source = "${(pkgs.catppuccin-kvantum.override {accent = "Peach"; variant = "Mocha";})}/share/Kvantum/Catppuccin-Mocha-Peach";
    "Kvantum/kvantum.kvconfig".text = "[General]\ntheme=Catppuccin-Mocha-Peach";
  };

  home.packages = with pkgs; [
    libsForQt5.qt5ct
    kdePackages.qt6ct
  ];
}

    I generally don’t use VLC since it caused interpolation on videos where it should not. I think I use mpv with some front end when needed. But for a while it is “set and forget” for me 😅
