# Installation
Install Python 3.7 or higher:
- [For Mac](https://www.python.org/downloads/mac-osx/)
- For Windows: [desktop](https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/) or [Microsoft Store](https://www.microsoft.com/p/python-38/9mssztt1n39l)
- [For Ubuntu](https://askubuntu.com/a/865569)
- [For Arch Linux](https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/python/)
- Not all compatible distros are named here, but a quick Google search should give you instructions for your distribution of choice.
Get a compatible terminal emulator:
- [iTerm2](https://iterm2.com/)
- [ConEmu](https://conemu.github.io/) or derivative (such as [Cmder](http://cmder.net/))
- [Terminology](https://www.enlightenment.org/about-terminology)
- [Tilix](https://gnunn1.github.io/tilix-web/)
- [Windows Terminal](https://www.microsoft.com/p/windows-terminal-preview/9n0dx20hk701)
- [Kitty](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/) from version `0.27.0` onwards
You can then proceed with one of the following methods for installation:
- [Arch Linux User Repository package (System-wide)](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pokemon-terminal-git/) (maintained by [@sylveon](https://github.com/sylveon))
- [pip (System-wide or Per-User)](#pip)
- [npm (Per-User only)](#npm)
- [Distutils (System-wide or Per-User)](#distutils)
## pip
Linux users: Your distro might include `pip` in a different package than Python, make sure to have that installed.
Run `pip3 install git+https://github.com/LazoCoder/Pokemon-Terminal.git`.
If you want a system-wide install, run the command as superuser or administrator.
If you want a per-user install, append the `--user` flag.
You might want to add the following directories to your `PATH` on a per-user install, to be able to call `pokemon` and `ichooseyou` everywhere:
- Linux and macOS: `~/.local/bin`
- Windows: (replace `X` by your Python minor version, for example, 8 for Python 3.8)
- `%AppData%\Python\Python3X\Scripts` for a desktop installation of Python;
- `%LocalAppData%\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.X_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python3X\Scripts` for a Microsoft Store installation of Python (note that there's two `X` here).
When the command completes, it's installed and ready to go!
## npm
Obviously requires to have [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) installed.
You can install in any (npm-supported) OS using `npm install --global pokemon-terminal`. That's it, you're done!
Make sure you also have Python installed, `npm` won't automagically do that for you.
## Distutils
This doesn't works on Microsoft Store installations of Python.
You can clone or [download](https://github.com/LazoCoder/Pokemon-Terminal/archive/master.zip) this repo, and run `python3 setup.py install` at the root of the repo.
If you want a system-wide install, run the command as superuser or administrator.
If you want a per-user install, append the `--user` flag. Look at the pip directives to add a per-user install to your `PATH`.
# Usage
```
usage: pokemon [-h] [-n NAME]
[-r [{kanto,johto,hoenn,sinnoh,unova,kalos} [{kanto,johto,hoenn,sinnoh,unova,kalos} ...]]]
[-l [0.xx]] [-d [0.xx]]
[-t [{normal,fire,fighting,water,flying,grass,poison,electric,ground,psychic,rock,ice,bug,dragon,ghost,dark,steel,fairy} [{normal,fire,fighting,water,flying,grass,poison,electric,ground,psychic,rock,ice,bug,dragon,ghost,dark,steel,fairy} ...]]]
[-ne] [-e] [-ss [X]] [-w] [-v] [-dr] [-c]
[id]
Set a pokemon to the current terminal background or wallpaper
positional arguments:
id Specify the wanted pokemon ID or the exact (case
insensitive) name
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-c, --clear Clears the current pokemon from terminal background
and quits.
Filters:
Arguments used to filter the list of pokemons with various conditions that
then will be picked
-n NAME, --name NAME Filter by pokemon which name contains NAME
-r [{kanto,johto,hoenn,sinnoh,unova,kalos} [{kanto,johto,hoenn,sinnoh,unova,kalos} ...]], --region [{kanto,johto,hoenn,sinnoh,unova,kalos} [{kanto,johto,hoenn,sinnoh,unova,kalos} ...]]
Filter the pokemons by region
-l [0.xx], --light [0.xx]
Filter out the pokemons darker (lightness threshold
lower) then 0.xx (default is 0.7)
-d [0.xx], --dark [0.xx]
Filter out the pokemons lighter (lightness threshold
higher) then 0.xx (default is 0.42)
-t [{normal,fire,fighting,water,flying,grass,poison,electric,ground,psychic,rock,ice,bug,dragon,ghost,dark,steel,fairy} [{normal,fire,fighting,water,flying,grass,poison,electric,ground,psychic,rock,ice,bug,dragon,ghost,dark,steel,fairy} ...]], --type [{normal,fire,fighting,water,flying,grass,poison,electric,ground,psychic,rock,ice,bug,dragon,ghost,dark,steel,fairy} [{normal,fire,fighting,water,flying,grass,poison,electric,ground,psychic,rock,ice,bug,dragon,ghost,dark,steel,fairy} ...]]
Filter the pokemons by type.
-ne, --no-extras Excludes extra pokemons (from the extras folder)
-e, --extras Excludes all non-extra pokemons
Misc:
-ss [X], --slideshow [X]
Instead of simply choosing a random pokemon from the
filtered list, starts a slideshow (with X minutes of
delay between pokemon) in the background with the
pokemon that matched the filters
-w, --wallpaper Changes the desktop wallpaper instead of the terminal
background
-v, --verbose Enables verbose output
-dr, --dry-run Implies -v and doesn't actually changes either
wallpaper or background after the pokemon has been
chosen
Not setting any filters will get a completely random pokemon
```

# Tips, tricks and common issues
## iTerm2 settings
I highly suggest making the font colors black and the terminal window transparent. Some of the images have both light and dark colours and so it can be difficult to see the text sometimes. Transparency resolves this issue. Since *Pokemon-Terminal* only changes the background, the transparency must be done manually:
1. Navigate to iTerm2 > Preferences > Profiles > Window
2. Set the transparency to about half way.
3. Hit the "blur" checkbox.
4. Set the blur to maximum.
5. Optionally you can set the blending to maximum to adjust the colors to look like the samples provided.
The result should look like this:
## ConEmu settings
1. From the menu under the symbol at left of title bar, navigate to Settings > Main > Background
2. Set Darkening to maximum (255).
3. Set Placement to Stretch.
4. Click Save Settings.
5. Optionally you apply transparency under Features > Transparency.
## Windows Terminal settings
You can, like in iTerm2, enable transparency. Simply press the down arrow in the tab bar and click settings. Once the JSON file opens, add the following settings under the `defaults` section:
```json
"backgroundImageOpacity": 0.5,
"useAcrylic": true,
"acrylicOpacity": 0.0
```
The result should look like this:
## Kitty settings
To dynamically set background images in kitty, we use its [remote control feature](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/overview/#remote-control). It is not enabled by default, and can be configured to be password protected.
The way passwords work for kitty remote control is that you set one or more passwords, each granting some amount of permissions (see [the docs](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/conf/#opt-kitty.remote_control_password) for details).
Here's an example of how to set it up in `./config/kitty/kitty.conf`:
```
# Enable remote control (password protected)
allow_remote_control password
# Option 1: Allow setting the background image with a password
remote_control_password "missingno" set-background-image
# Option 2: Allow setting the background image without a password
# (slightly less secure, a malicious actor could mess up your backgrounds)
remote_control_password "" set-background-image
```
If you choose option 1 (recommended), you still need to pass your chosen password when running `pokemon`, this works using the environment variable `KITTY_RC_PASSWORD` - i.e. you can run `KITTY_RC_PASSWORD=missingno pokemon`, or set the variable in any other way using your method of choice.
## Adding Custom Images
The folder `pokemonterminal/Images/Extra` is for adding custom images. You can manually add backgrounds to this folder and they will be visible to the program. Only JPG format is supported. To see a list of all the custom backgrounds type:
```bash
$ pokemon -e -dr
```
Alternatively, you can delete images from this folder and it will not break the program. These are some custom backgrounds:
## Solutions for Common Issues
* If you experience a line at the top of the terminal after changing the Pokemon, you can remove it by typing in the `clear` command or opening a new terminal.
* If you are using Tilix and the terminal background is not changing, try adjusting the transparency in your profile settings.
* If you are experiencing issues with Terminology and are running on Ubuntu, make sure that you have installed the latest version:
```bash
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:niko2040/e19
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt install terminology
```
## Saving
### iTerm2
To save a background you will need to setup a startup command in the profile:
1. Navigate to iTerm2 > Preferences > General
2. Locate the field where it says *Send text at start* under *Command*.
3. In that field type `pokemon -n [pokemon name]`. You can see an example in the image down below.
- Alternatively you can also type `pokemon` for a random theme each time you open up a new terminal.
4. You can leave out `; clear` if you don't care about the line showing up at the top of the terminal.
### ConEmu
After setting your desired pokemon, from the menu under the symbol at left of title bar, navigate to Settings > Main > Background and click Save Settings.
### Terminology
Terminology already saves it automatically, just untick "temporary" in the settings after setting your desired Pokemon:
To show a random Pokemon each session:
1. Open `~/.bashrc` in your favorite text editor.
2. Add the following lines to it:
```bash
if [[ "$TERMINOLOGY" -eq "1" ]]; then
pokemon
fi
```
That will simply pick a completely random Pokemon each session, but the `pokemon` line is simply calling the app, so you can still filter with regions, darkness, and etc. like you normally would, or you can also reset to a preset Pokemon every time you start.
# Notes & Credits
- Nearly all of the Pokemon backgrounds were created by [Teej](https://pldh.net/gallery/the493).
- Originally the images were about 100mb in total but [ImageOptim](https://imageoptim.com/) was used to compress them down to about 17mb.
- Since the images are compressed, some of them may have some mild (but negligible) compression artifacts.
