Ly DM advice

So today I was trying to customize Ly, the display manager I'm using. Apparently, it's supposed to be done through a config in ~/.config/ly but the directory simply doesn't exist. The git repository says that the config is fully commented, so this development is pretty discouraging.

Does someone have ly customization working? Do you have any advice? Is there a way to generate a default config?

Thank you in advance.

Edit I've figured out the problem. The settings I want to change are in /etc/ly/config.ini but in Nix, that's just a symlink to a file in the Nix Store.

I am currently looking for how to enable the clock function.

Edit 2: The clock can be enabled with

services.displayManager.ly.settings = {
bigclock = true;
};

Ar first I tried setting it as en, as described in the ly documentation, but that did not work. I am now looking for further documentation on ly.settings.

Cinnamon on NixOS

The BGs are by me. They're publicly available and Copyleft.

So far all I've done is downloaded some themes and made small edits to a copy of the Mint-X icons. Can anyone direct me towards some tools I can use to make custom themes and information on making icon sets that will work with Nemo's folder color switcher? I'd appreciate it.
