Even though ZaneyOS is my configuration, I do provide more than just a few options to tinker with. You can request features and additions through the repository's issues. However, do keep in mind if I don't really want it or want to set it up I may choose not to implement it at all.

This page lists the options you may set and describes what they are.

Where Are The Options??

They are located inside the options.nix file. Everything that you may want to change about my configuration is inside of the options.nix file.

The Options.nix

option	description
username	Set The Users Name
hostname	Set The Systems Name On Network
flakeDir	The location for the zaneyos / flakes directory.
userHome	Where is your home directory? Typically located at /home/insert-username-here
gitUsername	Set username for Git, similar to *git config --global user.name "insert-username-here"
gitEmail	The email you use for your Git account
theme	A base16 colorscheme to use with NixColors
slickbar	Enables transparent bar background & curved widgets / modules. This is a much more modern looking bar.
borderAnim	Enables or disables the looped animated borders. This is distracting to some.
browser	The name of the browser do you want installed and used by default. The package name too, for ones like google-chrome where the binary is google-chrome-stable this is solved for you. So it would just be google-chrome
wallpaperGit	The repository where you have all of your wallpapers. This will be used to populate the wallpaperDir directory
wallpaperDir	Path to the directory to put and source wallpapers from inside of the users home directory.
screenshotDir	The folder where screenshots will be saved inside the users home directory.
terminal	Name of the binary for your terminal of choice. Example: "kitty" or "alacritty"
clock24h	Enable the time for different utilities to be presented in 24 hour format.
theLocale	Set the locale of the system.
theKBDLayout	Default keyboard layout for the system.
theSecondKBDLayout	Secondary switchable keyboard layout for the system.
theLCVariables	The extra locale options variable. Probably going to match your locale if in US.
theTimezone	Configure the timezone for the system.
theShell	Rather use zsh than bash? 😉
theKernel	Choose which kernel you would like to run: default, latest, lqx, xanmod, and zen.
cpuType	The hardware.nix should take care of everything, but just in case there is something specific for Intel CPU's or AMD needed this exists. Also if running a virtual machine please set this to "vm" for the best experience.
gpuType	This enables or disables opengl and driver settings depending on whether or not it is amd, intel, or nvidia. There is also the option for intel-nvidia for hybrid laptop configurations. Just like cpuType, *if running a virtual machine please set this to "vm" to have a better experience.
intel-bus-id	If running hybrid intel-nvidia this is a requirement. Run, sudo lshw -c display and get the information needed. The syntax has to be changed slightly so please refer here for more information.
nvidia-bus-id	If running hybrid intel-nvidia this is a requirement. Run, sudo lshw -c display and get the information needed. The syntax has to be changed slightly so please refer here for more information.
nfs	Enable & start network filesystem
nfsMountPoint	Where to mount the NFS at on the system.
nfsDevice	Specify the network device that you want to be mounted.
