# fetch
This is the home of my fetch script! This script gathers info <br\>
about your system and prints it to the terminal next to an image of your choice!
![1](https://sr.ht/Jd8Y.png)
<!-- Features {{{ -->
## Features
- Supports Linux, Mac OS X and Windows (Cygwin)!
- If the script isn't working on your system
open an issue.
- It's Fast
- The script makes heavy use of bash builtins
and string manipulation.
- Display an image next to the info. (or not)
- The script can use your wallpaper, shuffle through a
directory or just display an image.
- Highly Customizable
- You can customize almost everything.
- See Usage below or lines 23-233 in script
- Take a screenshot at the end.
- It's disabled by default and you can specify the cmd
to use with ```--scrotcmd cmd``` at launch or by
changing the value of ```$scrotcmd``` in the script.
- Smart crop (or Waifu crop)
- See https://github.com/dylanaraps/fetch/wiki/What-is-Smart-Crop

<!-- Dependences {{{ -->
## Dependencies
These are the script's required dependencies
- Text formatting, dynamic image size and padding: tput
- Uptime detection: procps or procps-ng
These are the script's optional dependencies:
- Displaying Images: w3m
- You may also need w3m-img
- Image Cropping: ImageMagick
- Display Wallpaper: feh
- Current Song: mpc
- Resolution Detection: xorg-xdpyinfo
- Window manager detection: wmctrl
- This is used as a fallback to parsing ```.xinitrc``` and ```$XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP```.
- Take a screenshot on script finish: scrot
- You can change this to another program with a ```--scrotcmd``` and an in script option.

<!-- Usage {{{ -->
## Usage
The script now supports dynamic image sizing and padding,
<br\> it's enabled by default and there's a variable you
<br\> need to set for it to work correctly.
You can either change the variable $fontwidth inside of the
<br\> script or launch it with ```--font_width num```.
Once you set the var the script will scale the image and padding
<br\> to fit your terminal window.
Please report any bugs or issues you're having with this as I can't
<br\> test with many configurations.

<!-- TODO {{{ -->
## TODO
Here's what's on my todo list
- Add Windows resolution detection
- Cleanup of info array handling
- Imagemagick optimizations
- More info outputs. Now that it's easy to customize what's printed and
everything is a function we can add optional support for pretty much anything.
- Resolution (Done!)
- GTK themes
- Terminal Font
- GPU
- IP
- etc
