Style changes are not reverted after disabling targets

[strangeglyph]

Hi everyone,

I recently tried to give stylix a shot. However, the settings made the firefox menu text ridiculously large:

I tried to revert the changes by disabling the targets, and even setting autoEnable to false, but the large font size remains. Similarly, some color changes made to the shell remain. On the other hand, terminal and console changes are reverted as expected.

Here is my stylix config:

{ pkgs, config, ... }:

let pastel-dark-theme = rec {
  # snip
};
in
{
  stylix = {
    enable = true;
    autoEnable = false;

    base16Scheme = pastel-dark-theme;
    polarity = "dark";

    image = config.lib.stylix.pixel "base01";
    imageScalingMode = "fill";

    fonts = with pkgs; {
      emoji = {
        name = "Noto Sans Nerd Font";
        package = nerdfonts.override { fonts = [ "Noto" ]; };
      };
      monospace = {
        name = "SauceCodePro Nerd Font";
        package = nerdfonts.override { fonts = [ "SourceCodePro" ]; };
      };
      serif = {
        name = "Noto Serif Nerd Font";
        package = nerdfonts.override { fonts = [ "Noto" ]; };
      };
      sansSerif = {
        name = "Noto Sans Nerd Font";
        package = nerdfonts.override { fonts = [ "Noto" ]; };
      };
      sizes = {
        applications = 16;
        desktop = 12;
        popups = 16;
        terminal = 12;
      };
    };

    opacity = {
      applications = 1.0;
      desktop = 0.0;
      popups = 0.8;
      terminal = 0.8;
    };
  };

  home-manager.sharedModules = [{
    stylix.autoEnable = false;
    stylix.targets = {
      waybar.enable = false;
      sway.enable = false;
      swaylock.enable = false;
      firefox.enable = false;
      alacritty.enable = false;
    };
  }];
}

Since it is impossible for Stylix to guarantee hot-reloading, make sure to restart affected applications. The safest option is to re-login or simply reboot.

the settings made the firefox menu text ridiculously large:

Most GUI applications primarily rely on the stylix.fonts.sizes.applications value:

      sizes = {
        applications = 16;
        desktop = 12;
        popups = 16;
        terminal = 12;
      };

Otherwise, the fonts themselves could be larger than "regular" fonts:

    fonts = with pkgs; {
      emoji = {
        name = "Noto Sans Nerd Font";
        package = nerdfonts.override { fonts = [ "Noto" ]; };
      };
      monospace = {
        name = "SauceCodePro Nerd Font";
        package = nerdfonts.override { fonts = [ "SourceCodePro" ]; };
      };
      serif = {
        name = "Noto Serif Nerd Font";
        package = nerdfonts.override { fonts = [ "Noto" ]; };
      };
      sansSerif = {
        name = "Noto Sans Nerd Font";
        package = nerdfonts.override { fonts = [ "Noto" ]; };
      };

Can you reproduce this with other fonts?

Tried that and it sadly didn't help either. Also tried disabling stylix altogether (and rebooting), still no change.

It reproduces with DejaVu as well.

Most GUI applications primarily rely on the stylix.fonts.sizes.applications value:

I've tried resetting fonts.sizes.applications (and fonts.sizes.notifications too, for good measure) to 12, to no avail.

I also tried doing that alongside re-enabling the firefox target, in case the firefox settings weren't reset because stylix was ignoring it, but that didn't help either

Playing around some more, I also noticed that the cursor size in firefox is significantly larger (by maybe 50%) than in other applications. So I guess the DPI scaling of firefox got messed up along the way? Somehow?

Hello,

I am also experiencing this issue. When I enabled Stylix, everything (GNOME, LibreWolf, cursor, fonts, etc.) increased in size. I tried disabling Stylix to revert back, but the scaling issue still remains. I am using Stylix on home-manager standalone, Debian testing.

A workaround (for GNOME users at least) is to run dconf reset -f /org/gnome, which resets all GNOME settings to the default. This seemed to have fixed the issue.
