Hello, I have a problem with Alacritty, home directory is not rendering properlty. Is rendearing like this: Instand of this: ~> if(window.hljsLoader && !document.currentScript.parentNode.hasAttribute('data-s9e-livepreview-onupdate')) { window.hljsLoader.highlightBlocks(document.currentScript.parentNode); } Can anyone know how to solve this? Also i wanna to change the theme like this but i don’t understand how to do this in alacritty.yml

I find the solution, for everyone don’t like to see fastfetch screen on vscode follow this steps: Go to file /usr/share/cachyos-fish-config/cachyos-config.fish Modify the function fish_greeting to be like this: function fish_greeting if [ "$TERM_PROGRAM" = "vscode" ] # Do nothing else fastfetch end end if(window.hljsLoader && !document.currentScript.parentNode.hasAttribute('data-s9e-livepreview-onupdate')) { window.hljsLoader.highlightBlocks(document.currentScript.parentNode); } This way fastfetch rendering only when open the terminal normal, in VScode should not rendering.

Crestanzio I have a problem with Alacritty, home directory is not rendering properlty.

This is totally normal. No problem there, that’s just how the fish theme is set up. If you want to change this you will have to go look at the fish documentation or howtos that explain how to theme fish.

Crestanzio how to do this in alacritty.yml

It’s not in alacritty.yml. The fish configs, etc… are installed in /usr/share/fish and for your user your config is in your home ~/.config/fish

Crestanzio Also i wanna to change the theme like this but i don’t understand how to do this

I don’t know how to do this with fish (again, you will have to go look up your fish config file and fish theming documentation/howtos for this), but another option is to use zsh instead of fish (when you first start zsh it comes up with a set up wizard that allows you to configure it like this and many other ways).

Just type “zsh” to start zsh.

Once you are done and if you prefer it to fish, you can change your shell to zsh with “chsh -s $(which zsh)” and “chsh -s $(which fish)” to go back to fish.

(After changing the shell you have to logout and log back in for it to be applied to your session).

You are using Fish Shell, not zsh or bash. That means it is configured radically differently. You will find useful fish documentation here

To change the prompt you must run fish_config in your terminal, you will be able to change some aspects of fish. If you want something more in depth, you should write your own .yml document and keep that configuration file in $HOME/.config/alacritty, configuring the behavior, fonts and so on to suit your needs.

You can check the configuration I am using right now from here, you can also check the theme repository.

Finally i figure out, i just copy the agnoster prompt theme for fish, so don’t make the shell heavy.
Now the prompt is like this:

And secondly i make a copy from all Alacritty themes and now i just change them with one click.
The structure is like this for someone is interesting:

schemes:
    Nord: &nord
         primary:
         normal:
         bright:
  Oceanic-Next: &oceanic-next
         primary:
         normal:
         bright:

etc..

colors: *nord

The only problem i have now is i don’t know how to prevent fastfetch to start when i open the terminal from VScode, because is annoying

Hello,

Maybe I can chime in here again …

I didn’t really understand things here in the thread, so I’m not at the level of knowledge yet to know what fastfetch or vscode is!

What I would just like to know:
When I start the console (regardless of whether it’s fish or e.g. yakuake), there are already a lot of things in there, the whole window is written up, like two posts above in the first picture. There is this big C (made up of individual characters) and to the right of it is the various system information.
I can then write my command at the very bottom of the last line.

This always confuses me a bit and even though the information is certainly well-intentioned, I don’t always need it at this point and find it confusing. I’d rather start with a blank terminal window where I could start typing right at the top of the first line.

Now I just have the file in the virtual machine as a test
/usr/share/cachyos-fish-config/cachyos-config.fish

edited as follows:

## Run fastfetch as welcome message
#function fish_greeting
# fastfetch
#end

That means I commented out the bottom three lines.
Now the terminal starts (almost) empty.
At least I can start writing on the second line.

Would that be the correct way?

Crestanzio

I find the solution, for everyone don’t like to see fastfetch screen on vscode follow this steps:

Go to file /usr/share/cachyos-fish-config/cachyos-config.fish
Modify the function fish_greeting to be like this:

function fish_greeting
  if [ "$TERM_PROGRAM" = "vscode" ]
#   Do nothing
  else
    fastfetch
  end
end

This way fastfetch rendering only when open the terminal normal, in VScode should not rendering.

Yes. And by doing this you also understood what fastfetch is (it’s the tool that displays the system information together with the distro logo in the terminal -> you have disabled it).
