# My xfce4 Terminal Theme & Neofetch Template
Uses oh-my-posh and applies the catppuccin theme to the xfce4 terminal.
This template can be copy-pasted to user's directory assuming they already have oh-my-posh installed.
**WARNING!** This will completely replace what settings you have for your own terminal.
I have nothing to do if anything breaks in your end. Proceed only if you know what you're doing.

## Quick guide
- Install oh-my-posh (see [this guide](https://calebschoepp.com/blog/2021/how-to-setup-oh-my-posh-on-ubuntu/))
- Download this template
- After following the guide and the installation, copy this template's files to the user directory `${HOME}`
- Done! With that the changes should be applied when running a new terminal instance.
## Formatting
Most stuff here are hand-coded and **are static** as I didn't liked how limited the original formatting.
There's an exception, the weather info is requested from [wttr.in](https://wttr.in) via `curl`.
Thanks to `.bashrc` and `config.conf` setup, just entering the `neofetch` command alone renders all these info. To add more info, simply edit the `config.conf`.
## ASCII Art
It is loaded from `ascii.txt` through `image_source="${HOME}/.config/neofetch/ascii.txt"` in `config.conf`.
I used [ASCII-Generator](https://ascii-generator.site/) to convert my pixel art into ASCII, and I hand-drawn other characters to
adjust the ASCII art properly.
To make the colors work correctly, the ASCII art is inverted in color. Overall, the process is just a matter of trial and error.
**Why use a custom ASCII?** To have more control to the ASCII art. Additionally, it's because that the image backend is just a hack as [stated by the maintainer of neofetch](https://github.com/dylanaraps/neofetch/issues/1392#issue-553838221), thus having many issues when rendering images.
