Terminal eye candy

is it possible for me to get my terminal looking like this for example ?
i’m on xfce DE and xfce terminal

i mean i’d like a clear logo like that , and the info in those blocks/lines effect
(using fastfetch btw)

Here are a lot of examples

you will need to add it to your shells config file.

example for bashrc would be
fastfetch
added to the end or you can add it to your prompt command.

well 1st off , i can’t seem to find my fastfetch config file …

Take a look at ~/.config/fastfetch

there is no fastfetch ?

Make a directory inside ~/.config then create a config.jsonc

fastfetch --gen-config

according to this tutorial

just found this


so yea , i now have a config file
ima see from here if i can figure it out

In the configuration file you have all the options to customize fastfetch according to your needs

ok , after a lot of suffering ,this is what i managed to get so far

this turns out harder to config than conky :joy:
anyway , i cannot for the life of me get a pic inserted (instead of the EOS logo)

Put this on top of your ~/.config.jsonc
Replace the path where your picture is located
Play around with top left and right until its fit for your needs

{ "$schema":
   "https://github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch/raw/dev/doc/json_schema.json",
   "logo": {
                  "type": "auto",
   "source":  "/home/swh/Plasma//EOS/fetch/EnOS Mercury Purple Tinted Shine.png",
     "padding": {
		"top": 6,
		"left": 2,
		"right": 2
	}

Does XFCE Terminal support graphics?

you need a modern terminal to support graphics like kitty

Just as a suggestion… maybe close this thread and migrate over to the other one ? No need for two threads addressing the same.

where is the other thread??? and why should this one not exist with it?

Lots of info about Fastfetch in this thread that @swh already linked to above…

To my eyes it’s pretty much heading towards the very same infos which are already shared within
fastfetch config tinkering, as @swh already linked it already.

I think they are two different issue but I’ve apparently been wrong all week so who cares. Have a great one

No, that’s not true.

What I should have done is to write a general comment instead of a direct reply to your post, and phrased towards towards “we” as the readers of the whole thread instead of directly addressing you.

In short, the topic started essentially asking how to achieve a look in the terminal, by the use of a screenshot taken from UncleSpellbinder himself. Out of the very same thread most likely.

In my eyes, tinkering with a config for fastfetch. And general terminal rice… goes hand in hand. Essentially you’ll need both (if you want to achieve the same look, using the fish shell, nerd fonts within the terminal, tide prompt…)

thats what i’m not even sure off to begin with .
and can’t seem to find a definitive answer anywhere
