Declared by:

wayland.desktopManager.cosmic.panels.*.size

The size of the panel.

Type: null or one of the following RON enum variants: “XS”, “S”, “M”, “L”, “XL”

Default: null

Example:

{
  __type = "enum";
  variant = "M";
}

Declared by:

wayland.desktopManager.cosmic.resetFiles

Whether to enable COSMIC configuration files reset.

When enabled, this option will delete any COSMIC-related files in the specified XDG directories that were not explicitly declared in your configuration. This ensures that your COSMIC desktop environment remains in a clean, known state as defined by your home-manager configuration.

Type: boolean

Default: false

Example: true

Declared by:

wayland.desktopManager.cosmic.resetFilesDirectories

XDG base directories to reset when resetFiles is enabled.

Available directories:

  • config: User configuration ($XDG_CONFIG_HOME)
  • data: Application data ($XDG_DATA_HOME)
  • state: Runtime state ($XDG_STATE_HOME)
  • cache: Cached data ($XDG_CACHE_HOME)
  • runtime: Runtime files ($XDG_RUNTIME_DIR)

Type: list of (one of “config”, “data”, “state”, “cache”, “runtime”)

Default:

[
  "config"
  "state"
]

Example:

[
  "config"
  "data"
  "state"
]

Declared by:

wayland.desktopManager.cosmic.resetFilesExclude

Patterns to exclude from the reset operation when resetFiles is enabled. Supports glob patterns and brace expansion for matching files and directories.

Use this option to preserve specific files or directories from being reset.

Type: list of string

Default: [ ]

Example:

[
  "com.system76.CosmicComp"
  "dev.edfloreshz.CosmicTweaks/v1"
  "com.system76.CosmicSettings/v1/active-page"
  "com.system76.CosmicTerm/v1/{font_size,font_family}"
  "com.system76.{CosmicComp,CosmicPanel.Dock}/v1"
]

Declared by:

wayland.desktopManager.cosmic.stateFile

State files for COSMIC components stored in $XDG_STATE_HOME.

Each component is identified by its unique identifier (e.g., com.system76.CosmicComp).

Structure for each component:

  • version: Schema version number for the component configuration.
  • entries: Component-specific settings as key-value pairs.

Entry values can be:

  • Simple types: booleans, integers, floating point numbers, strings.

  • Complex types: lists, and attribute sets (RON structs).

  • Special types:

    • raw: The value is stored as-is.
    • optional: The value is stored as an optional value. (e.g. Some(value) or None).
    • char: The value is stored as a single character. (e.g. 'a').
    • map: The value is stored as a map. (e.g. { "key" = "value" }).
    • tuple: The value is stored as a tuple. (e.g. (1, 2, 3)).
    • enum: The value is stored as an enum variant.

  • Named structs: A structured entry with a name identifier.

All values are serialized to RON format using lib.cosmic.generators.toRON.

Type: attribute set of (submodule)

Default: { }

Example:

{
  "com.system76.CosmicBackground" = {
    entries = {
      wallpapers = [
        {
          __type = "tuple";
          value = [
            "Virtual-1"
            {
              __type = "enum";
              value = [
                "/usr/share/backgrounds/cosmic/webb-inspired-wallpaper-system76.jpg"
              ];
              variant = "Path";
            }
          ];
        }
      ];
    };
    version = 1;
  };
}

Declared by:

wayland.desktopManager.cosmic.stateFile.<name>.entries

Configuration entries for the component.

Type: attribute set of (null or (attribute set of anything) or boolean or list of anything or signed integer or floating point number or raw RON value or RON char or RON map of anything or RON named struct of anything or RON optional of anything or RON tuple of anything or string)

Example:

{
  autotile = true;
  autotile_behavior = {
    __type = "enum";
    variant = "PerWorkspace";
  };
}

Declared by:

wayland.desktopManager.cosmic.stateFile.<name>.version

Schema version number for the component configuration.

Type: unsigned integer, meaning >=0

Example: 1
