overlay.enable doesn't seem to work

[emsquid]

@benvonh
I added overlay.enable to my config but I still receive an error and need to set it manually

[benvonh]

can you be any more descriptive.

What error are you getting and what's your full config?

[qweered]

same issue, added hyprpanel.url to flake and import

# *.nix
{ inputs, ... }:
{
  imports = [ inputs.hyprpanel.homeManagerModules.hyprpanel ];
  
  programs.hyprpanel = {

    # Enable the module.
    # Default: false
    enable = true;

    overlay.enable = true;

    # Automatically restart HyprPanel with systemd.
    # Useful when updating your config so that you
    # don't need to manually restart it.
    # Default: false
    systemd.enable = true;

    # Add '/nix/store/.../hyprpanel' to your
    # Hyprland config 'exec-once'.
    # Default: false
    hyprland.enable = true;

    # Fix the overwrite issue with HyprPanel.
    # See below for more information.
    # Default: false
    overwrite.enable = true;

    # Import a theme from './themes/*.json'.
    # Default: ""
    theme = "gruvbox_split";

    # Override the final config with an arbitrary set.
    # Useful for overriding colors in your selected theme.
    # Default: {}
    override = {
      theme.bar.menus.text = "#123ABC";
    };

    # Configure bar layouts for monitors.
    # See 'https://hyprpanel.com/configuration/panel.html'.
    # Default: null
    layout = {

        "0" = {
          left = [ "dashboard" "workspaces" ];
          middle = [ "media" ];
          right = [ "volume" "systray" "notifications" ];
        };
      };
    };

    # Configure and theme almost all options from the GUI.
    # Options that require '{}' or '[]' are not yet implemented,
    # except for the layout above.
    # See 'https://hyprpanel.com/configuration/settings.html'.
    # Default: <same as gui>
    settings = {
      bar.launcher.autoDetectIcon = true;
      bar.workspaces.show_icons = true;

      menus.clock = {
        time = {
          military = true;
          hideSeconds = true;
        };
        weather.unit = "metric";
      };

      menus.dashboard.directories.enabled = false;
      menus.dashboard.stats.enable_gpu = true;

      theme.bar.transparent = true;

      theme.font = {
        name = "CaskaydiaCove NF";
        size = "16px";
      };
    };
  };
}

to home manager configuration

[qweered]

Works after adding {nixpkgs.overlays = [inputs.hyprpanel.overlay];} to nixosConfigurtion (i use home manager as a module)

[benvonh]

@qweered Whether you use Home Manager's NixOS module doesn't actually matter unless if you have useGlobalPkgs set; then you would need to set it manually (I tested it both ways myself a bunch of times now).

Can you guys make sure you're actually using the updated HM module? Like, do a nix flake update in your config repo just to make sure.

(edit: and a rm flake.lock to be double sure)

[qweered]

I have useGlobalPkgs enabled, flake is surely updated

[benvonh]

Then yeah, you have to do it manually lol

Hello, I am having similar problem. Here is my flake.nix and here is the hyprpanel.nix.

I am getting this error:

 λ home-manager switch --verbose

I have triple checked and I define overlays in no other place but in flake.nix, I don't use global nixpkgs either.

When using the whole example hyprpanel configuration file from tutorial here, it works flawlessly. I'm not sure what precisely caused it.

[benvonh]

This is seemingly a different issue that I am trying to address in my latest PR #707

@ralisv Your issue is more related to #686

Can you try my fork and see if it fixes it? Set hyprpanel.url = "github:benvonh/HyprPanel"; and run nix flake update

[ralisv]

@benvonh yes, you're right. Using the problematic commit and changing only the url you provided, it switches correctly.

Thanks for quick response.
