Neofetch: Can't Find a Way To Make Neofetch Follow Terminal Colours

Created on 9 Jun 2018  路  12Comments  路  Source: dylanaraps/neofetch

If this is already a feature, I'm very sorry but I did have a really good look before posting this, I could only find ways to change individual colors, which is a huge hassle for me. What I want is to be able to have neofetch follow the standard terminal colors set through the settings of the terminal.

If it's not, can I request this as a feature please? Thanks for your time!

This works for me. The same changes can be made to your config file.

neofetch --ascii_distro linux --ascii distro --colors 11 2 11 11 --ascii_colors 15 8 11

Neofetch uses your terminal colors and only tour terminal colors. I don't understand.

So what I mean is I currently use screenfetch and I'm wanting to switch. I have Tux displayed in my terminal, the details of my system on the right in blue, and the categories of information on the left in yellow. When I try to use Neofetch all of the text becomes blue, including the Tux penguin on the left of the terminal.

You can customise the colors using the config file or the runtime arguments

I know and I was doing that, but I still ended up with a blue Tux penguin, I couldn't get it to just match the colours of my terminal naturally. That's the request here.

I don't understand as well. Can you make a screenshot and post it here?

This first image is screenfetch and the look I'm trying to replicate:

This second image is what shows in neofetch, with colours set to "distro" in the config file:
screenshot_2018-06-17_10-58-02

This third image is the colours I have chosen in terminal preferences:

This works for me. The same changes can be made to your config file.

neofetch --ascii_distro linux --ascii distro --colors 11 2 11 11 --ascii_colors 15 8 11

Where do I apply the "--ascii distro -- colors 11 2 11 11" within the config file?
I've applied the "--ascii_colors" value and I'm definitely closer!

# Ascii distro
# Which distro's ascii art to display.
#
# Default: 'auto'
# Values:  'auto', 'distro_name'
# Flag:    --ascii_distro
#
# NOTE: Arch and Ubuntu have 'old' logo variants.
#       Change this to 'arch_old' or 'ubuntu_old' to use the old logos.
# NOTE: Ubuntu has flavor variants.
#       Change this to 'Lubuntu', 'Xubuntu', 'Ubuntu-GNOME' or 'Ubuntu-Budgie' to use the flavors.
# NOTE: Arch, Crux and Gentoo have a smaller logo variant.
#       Change this to 'arch_small', 'crux_small' or 'gentoo_small' to use the small logos.
ascii_distro="auto"

# Ascii Colors
#
# Default:  'distro'
# Values:   'distro', 'num' 'num' 'num' 'num' 'num' 'num'
# Flag:     --ascii_colors
#
# Example:
# ascii_colors=(distro)      - Ascii is colored based on Distro colors.
# ascii_colors=(4 6 1 8 8 6) - Ascii is colored using these colors.
ascii_colors=(1 2 3 4 5 6 7)

There's only one entry for colors, "ascii_colors="
I can't apply any colours within "ascii_distro="

Send me your config file.

Thank you by the way
