fetch.sh

This is the home of my fetch script! This script gathers info <br> about your system and prints it to the terminal.

I've spent the past few days rewriting this and it now supports <br> other distros as well as a ton of new features and bug fixes.

If you're having any issues or have any ideas, please open an issue! <br> I can't test on many other distros and I want this to work <br> for as many people as possible.

Dependencies

These are the script's dependencies:

• Displaying Images: w3m
• Image Cropping: ImageMagick
• Display Wallpaper: feh
• Current Song: mpc

These are the script's optional dependencies

• Window Manager Detection: wmctrl

  • You can manually set this at launch with:

    scrot.sh --winman string

TODO

Here's what's on my todo list

• Add an easy way to define info prefixes at launch.
• Find a reliable way to set the text padding dynamically. I can get this to
  work based on font width but there's no reliable way of getting
  fontwidth for every terminal afaik.
• Find a quick and reliable way to get the current window manager. I had a
  solution that used an array of processes and pgrep but it doubled the
  startup time for the script.

If you've got any ideas on how to solve these problems, let me know!

Customization

I launch fetch using a shell function and a ton of flags. Here's how it looks:

fetch () {
    fetch.sh \
        --printcols 1 7 \
        --cpu "AMD FX-6300" \
        --song "$(mpc current | cut -c 1-30)" \
        --uptime "$(uptime -p | sed -e 's/minutes/mins/')" \
        --title "dylan's pc" \
        $@
}

Notice how you can even pass commands? This allows you to easily use custom
commands or even just bare strings to change the info.

Screenshots

The color script is now builtin.

You can now customize the color of everything.

You can now disable all images with a flag.
