Neofetch 1.7

on GitHub

Hello, sorry this release took so long. I've been extremely busy with uni and
haven't had as much time to work on neofetch.

As always, check the Following HEAD wiki page for all breaking changes
this release.

I'm also looking for some new Readme screenshots, see this github issue: #245

Info

• Rewrote most BSD info functions, they're now much smaller and work on more
  BSD distros.

prin

• Format changes to fix issues with colons in string. This change also makes
  prin use the same args as info.

# OLD Format
prin "Subtitle: Text goes here"

# NEW Format
prin "Subtitle" "Text goes here"

Title

• Made title faster by using $HOSTNAME when available.

Underline

• Fixed bug with --underline on/off not working.
• Underlining is no longer hardcoded to title length meaning you can now
  underline any part of the output and the length will match.
• $underline was renamed to $underline_enabled.

# OLD Variable
underline="on"

# NEW Variable
underline_enabled="on"

Distro

• Fix arch issues with ARM cpus.
• We now use uname -m to get the arch instead of hardcoding x86.
• Moved distro detection to a function called getdistro.
• Fixed issue with ascii_distro not working.

CPU

• Fixed issues when cpu speed was < 1Ghz
• Cleanup of CPU function.
• Don't print Dual-Core or Quad-Core in CPU output.

GPU

• [Linux] More GPU substitutions for AMD cards.
• Added BSD support using glxinfo.

Memory

• [Linux / Windows] Use memavail if available for a more accurate output.

Packages

• Package count now works when the user has multiple package managers installed.
  For example, if the user has both dpkg and pacman installed the function will
  add up the packages from both package managers to get a grand total. (dpkg pkgs + pacman pkgs)

Uptime

• Fixed various issues with OS X and BSD.

Desktop Environment

• [ Linux ] Fallback to using xprop if $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP is empty.
• Use $de instead of $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP for wallpaper and theme detection.
• Fixed xprop bug with DE detection when X wasn't running.
• Don't assume that user is using MATE if marco wm is detected.

Window Manager Theme

• Fixed bug when $de was unset.

Color Blocks

• Fixed bug when the blocks wrap a line causing a large white strip to appear.

Ascii

• Added KDE neon ascii art.
• Added small OpenBSD ascii art.
  • Credit goes to ufetch.
• Reduced the size of NetBSD's ascii art.
• [Windows 8/8.1] Use modern windows ascii art.

Colors

• Fixed bug with --colors not working with all 256 terminal colors.
• --colors 7 now uses the color white. [1]
• --colors fg now uses the foreground color. [1]

[1] Neofetch tried to be smart before by assuming that the foreground color
would be white or black. This caused issues for those setting the foreground
color to red or etc. This change adds a new value for --colors and colors=()
called fg which will set the color to your foreground color.

Progress Bars

• The default progress bar look was changed to [=====-----] instead of ━━━━━━━━━━
  fix issues with older systems.
• You can now enable/disable a border around the progress bars with progress_border.

# $progress_border on
[=====-----]

# $progress_border off
=====-----

• You can now individually set the progress bar characters by using
  progress_char_elapsed and progress_char_total. This means that you can
  have a seperate character for the elapsed and total portions of the bar.

# Examples with $progress_border on

# Elapsed: =
# Total: -
[=====-----]

# Elapsed: .
# Total: " "
[.....     ]

# Elapsed: /
# Total: " "
[/////     ]
