How to put a picture in fastfetch in foot terminal

I was trying to put a picture in fastfetch terminal in the place of ASCII logo , and was easy to do :

I wanted to add picture in our default config of hyprland edition which would have looked like this :


But it can’t be put by default as it is not purely made by SGS it was actually remix , so I am writing here instruction of how you can put it in your terminal specially foot as it is my favourite and kept as the default terminal for users in hyprland edition :slightly_smiling_face:
So here are the steps :

  1. install libsixel :
sudo pacman -S libsixel
  1. open .config/fish/config.fish , scroll to bottom and change :
if status --is-interactive && type -q fastfetch
    fastfetch 
end

to this :

if status --is-interactive && type -q fastfetch
    fastfetch --logo-type sixel --logo ~/.config/photo.png 
 end
  1. download this downscaled image :

    and save it to ~/.config (you can change your path as you wish :slightly_smiling_face: , I just put it according to my confort )
  2. go to ~/.config/foot/foot.ini and change :
font= JetbrainsMonoNL:size=10

to this :

font= JetbrainsMonoNL:size=12

Done!!!
you can choose whatever you like , but don’t forget to downscale it

If anyone want to make it come by default in the hyprland edition

I wanted to make that thing to come in default but the thing is the photo I am using is a remix so I can’t use it , I don’t want just a simple logo in picture for fastfetch , I really liked the hacker girl photo but can’t be put there.
If some have it’s own art made purely by himself similar like hacker girl which can fit there, then please post it here , as I want something different than a logo :slightly_smiling_face: (like tech anime photo)

PS : the dimensions should be roughly around 300x500 pixels and sixels doesn’t support transparent background
