Change Terminal Logo

Hey guys, Recently i installed neofetch on my garuda machine and tried changing the default terminal logo which in my case is this :
2021-05-07_16-07

But when I try to execute this following command to change it to my desired pic It again re-shows this picture only.

Command I executed: neofetch --w3m ./Pictures/logo.png

logo.png is the pic I want to set.

Also tried this command: neofetch --source ./Pictures/alt-logo.png

And By the way I have installed the requirements :

  1. w3m
  2. imagemagick

But on web I read that w3m-img is also required by the neofetch to display the image. But I don't found it for garuda.

Every help will be appreciated at the top.

Looking for the helpful members to look to it.....

This part with .png in terminal work for me until I move the mouse, then the PNG got hide/remove/away :wink: .

Oh , I had already seen this post and followed it too, but I think you did not got my point there. Whenever I execute those command , my old logo is only shown.

I want assistance at that point .

You can configure neofetch to show any logo you want it to, by editing the ~/config/neofetch.conf file. You can even (given specific capabilities in your terminal), have it show a .png file. What do you want it to show?

Edit: Here's one choice...

Ok I want to show this one only for example, How??

Not sure what "this one" refers to - but here's an example of an ascii file to be displayed:

Ascii logo file


${c1}                    .%;888:8898898:
                  x;XxXB%89b8:b8%b88:
               .8Xx;               8X:.
             .8Xx;                   8x:.
           .tt8x           ${c2}d${c1}           x88;
        .@8x8;          ${c2}.db:${c1}             xx@;
      ${c3},tSXXX°         .bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb8x@;
    .SXxx°           bBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB:S;8;
  ,888S°                                  ;8;
<8X88/                                     ${c3};
  ${c4}x%88        @888@8@X@X@X88X@@XX@@X@8@Xx
    .xX@:  .8x8b8b8x8s8bx88b998888b88x;
     .xx88                      .@@;:
       .x.88                  .t@x;
          ::SS@8baeeaaeeaaeeSxx;
           .xq988999889889899°

If you save the contents behind the arrow as ~/.config/neofetch/gar-txt4, then finding the place in the ~.config/neofetch/config.conf file where this goes (search for image_source) and set it to:

image_source="~/.config/neofetch/gar-txt4"

you will get that displayed. There are a lot of neat things in that file you can change - so have at it! That's one of the fun parts of Linux...

And If i want a image instead of this text and symbols, then ?

Also this didn’t worked for me. I tried it just now and all process are correct. The old logo still exists. Please recommend something else

maybe try neofetch --clean to clean the cache

Well - that works - but there may be another setting in there that is overriding it - or perhaps you need to specify the path more explicitly ie: /home/username/.config/neofetch/gar-txt4 (where username is replaced by your username)

Well, It worked but I want a image to be used as a logo, when i specify the image path, still the gar-txt4 is showing.

Any fix for that??

Create whatever you wish, and locate and name it in a similar manner. If you need to convert an image to ascii - there are websites for that. If you want to display an image directly, there is quite a bit of setup - and it tends to disappear when a key is hit after being 'presented'. The info is pretty good in the config.conf file - that's how I figured it out...
