[[https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch][Neofetch]] is a CLI utility used to display system information. It was written in Bash, and thus its configuration file is written as a Bash script too. This document was written with org-mode, and my configuration file is tangled from the source blocks you will see below to ~~/.config/neofetch/config.conf~. This configuration will only contain what I need. For any further information, please refer to the [[https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch][original repository]] and [[https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch/wiki/Customizing-Info][its documentation]].

The ~print_info~ function is the function called by Neofetch in order to print

Generally, what we will display will be shown through the ~info~ function, redefined inside Neofetch (this is not ~info(1)~). This ~info~ function accepts one or two arguments. With one argument, such as with ~info memory~, we can get a result that looks like ~5136MiB / 15873MiB~, while calling it with two arguments will treat the first one as a prefix and the second one as the interesting information; ~info "Memory" memory~ will look like ~Memory: 5136MiB / 15873MiB~.

***** Distro art or image
:PROPERTIES:
:CUSTOM_ID: Information-settings-Software-OS-Distro-Distro-art-or-image-e60cbd1e
:END:
By default, Neofetch will display ascii art next to our system information
representing our distro’s logo. We’ll customize it a bit. First, let’s change
the ~backend~ value. Note that most of them (except ~off~ of course) support
shorthands such as ~--kitty~ when passed as arguments from the command line. In
my case, I will use the Kitty backend since it is the native backend of the
terminal emulator I use.
- Default value :: ~"ascii"~
- Values ::
- ~ascii~
- ~caca~
- ~catimg~
- ~chafa~
- ~jp2a~
- ~iterm2~
- ~off~

- ~w3m~
- ~kitty~
- ~ueberzug~
- ~viu~
- flag :: ~--backend~
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
image_backend="kitty"
#+END_SRC
Now, since I indicated I wanted an image engine, I’ll indicate neofetch which
image to find. Note that ~auto~ will pick the best image source for whatever
image backend is used. In ascii mode, distro ascii art will be used and in an
image mode, your wallpaper will be used.
- Default value :: ~auto~
- Values ::
- ~auto~
- ~ascii~
- ~wallpaper~
- ~/path/to/img~

- Flag :: ~--source~
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
image_source="$HOME/org/config/img/leon.png"
#+END_SRC
The default image size will probably not be correct since it is half the
terminal width and I have an ultrawide monitor, so I’ll need to set it manually.
