This change log won't cover everything that's changed. Have a look through the commit
history for more info.

There were a lot of major changes made to how things work in this release so I'm expecting
bugs/things not working for people. Expect a 1.9.X release.

I'm also looking for neofetch screenshots for the Readme, see this issue: #405

Thanks to everyone below who contributed, it's nice to see some new faces too. :)

Images

Fixed rendering issues in URxvt when using an XFT font.

scrot

This was first thought to be an issue between URxvt and W3m-img and I apologize for immediately closing bug reports and dismissing comments about this.

I spent yesterday trying to fix this issue and found out that launching neofetch with --bold off
reduced the rendering problems. I did more digging and found out that removing all text formatting fixes the issue entirely. I later found out that adding a single unformatted character before the formatted text fixed the issue while keeping the formatting the same.

I opened up this PR #358 which added options to enable a border between the image and the text to fix the issue. @konimex later commented informing me that we could just use a zero-width space to fix the issue and that we didn't need a new function/args/ugly border. doh

The final fix was as simple as adding a zero-width space before the info, here's the commit.

Removed hard dependency on \033[14t

Neofetch no longer requires a terminal emulator that supports \033[14t this means that neofetch now works in Konsole. Instead of using the escape sequence users now have three options for getting the terminal size in pixels.

  • xdotool
  • xwininfo + xprop
  • xwininfo + xdpyinfo

Neofetch will detect whatever combination you have insalled and use these programs.

Note: \033[14t is still supported, if images already work for you then you don't have to install anything else.

  • [w3m-img] Draw the image twice to fix rendering issues in Konsole.
  • [w3m-img] Fix cursor position when using yoffset.
  • [w3m-img] Add -bg support with the new option --bg_color.
    • neofetch --bg_color blue will make the background behind the image blue.
    • Note: The background color is only visible behind transparent parts of the image.
  • If the terminal width is found as 0, fallback to ascii mode.

Ascii

  • Bold ascii art by default.
  • Fixed incorrect prompt location when using ascii_logo_size small.
  • Fixed incorrect colors used on light terminals.
  • Update Void Linux ascii art. @ncmprhnsbl
  • Update Solus ascii art.
