Get Waifu on terminal

#linux #bash

Introduction

I see a lot of programmers interested in having a waifu in terminal.
So here how I do it.

first

go to any search engine and search for Anime black and white png

then open any photo editor , I use photopea online create a new transparent image with same dimension of your screen . In my case it's 1920x1080 . Drag and drop your waifu into the corner and save it as png.

final result should look like this

second

move your image to any location you like mine is $HOME/.config/kitty/ in same folder with kitty configuration.
first I am using the kitty terminal.after install it go to the config files

vim ~/.config/kitty/kitty.conf

then add those lines to the end of the files , also you can delete the config file and make new one with those lines only because all the file is just comments.

foreground white                                                                                                                     
background black

background_image $HOME/.config/kitty/waifu.png

Thank you for this.. I use kitty too. Out of curiosity, what's your ranking of terminal emulators for 2020?

Omar • Aug 31 '20

I don't like to switch tools a lot , I used terminator for long time but my pc got slower thats why I switch to kitty because its faster.

nice, I went to kitty for the performance as well. I think before it was URxvt, I can't remember the real reason I switched, maybe it had something to do with fonts or emojis?. Btw, do you use arch?
