Changelog

[2.0.2] - 2026-03-29

Fixed

  • Window height overcalculation in left layout — auto-size formula applied the top header height (115px) even in layout: "left" mode where no top header exists; header contribution is now 32px (outer margins only) when sidebar layout is active, preventing the excess empty space at the bottom of the window

[2.0.1] - 2026-03-29

Fixed

  • Duplicate disk entries — devices mounted at multiple points (e.g. btrfs subvolumes) no longer appear as separate rows; deduplication is based on the block device name
  • Window height clipping — replaced hardcoded height with dynamic calculation based on actual content (sections + rows); caps at 90% of monitor height using Gdk.Display instead of deprecated Gdk.Screen
  • First label auto-highlighted on open — GTK's automatic focus on the first selectable widget caused the first value (e.g. Uptime) to appear highlighted on launch; fixed with set_can_focus(False) after set_selectable(True)

[2.0] - 2026-03-18

Added

  • --config <path> CLI flag — load any config file directly; extends is ignored in this mode
  • extends key in config — point to a theme file that wins over your personal config
    • Load order: DEFAULTS → config.json → extends file (extended file has highest priority)
    • One level only — extends inside an extended file is ignored
    • Designed for theme switching: keep personal settings in config.json, swap themes via extends
  • Layout system — layout: "top" (classic) or layout: "left" (vertical sidebar)
    • Sidebar shows OS name and date rotated 90°, logo at top or bottom (logo.sidebar_position)
    • Sidebar hides locale string for a cleaner look
  • Animation system — live background animations rendered via Cairo
    • rain — diagonal streaks falling at 15°, configurable color, speed, drop count
    • snow — circular flakes with sinusoidal horizontal drift
    • matrix — falling half-width katakana columns with bright head and fading trail
    • aurora — undulating sine bands using accent, hi, and ok palette colors
    • warp — stars radiating from center, accelerating outward (starfield effect)
    • scope param: "body" (below header only) or "full" (entire window)
  • Gradient bar — animated 2-color scrolling bar replacing the header separator
    • Horizontal in top layout, vertical in left layout
    • Configurable colors, disabled by default
  • Background image overlay — any image rendered at bottom-right corner
    • Scales source image to configured size
    • Adjustable opacity, rendered above content but behind nothing (Overlay stack)
    • bg_image.enabled flag — set to false to disable completely (no image, no distro logo fallback)
  • Theme files — ready-made themes in themes/ folder (21 included)
    • Each file is fully self-contained: all config keys explicitly defined, no ambiguity
    • Use with --config for direct testing or point extends to activate
  • Added python-cairo as explicit dependency

Changed

  • Window now uses Gtk.Overlay stack: base content → animation → background image
  • Body content uses its own Gtk.Overlay to allow scoped animations
  • DEFAULTS in script is now the single source of truth for all config keys

Multi-distro improvements

  • Session — reads XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP, XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP, DESKTOP_SESSION with session type; no longer Hyprland-only
  • Display — cascade: hyprctl → xrandr → wlr-randr → $DISPLAY/$WAYLAND_DISPLAY
  • GPU — removed hardcoded [Discrete] label; detects 3D controller as fallback
  • Shell — reads $SHELL from environment instead of assuming fish
  • Terminal — detects kitty, alacritty, wezterm, foot, xfce4-terminal, konsole, gnome-terminal, tilix; falls back to $TERM_PROGRAM / $TERM
  • Term Font — reads kitty, alacritty (toml/yml), foot, wezterm configs
  • Packages — detects pacman, dpkg, rpm, apk, flatpak, snap
  • OS Age — reads pacman, dpkg, dnf, zypper, yum logs in order
  • Login — uses $USER/$LOGNAME + tty; GUI sessions show user@localhost
  • bg_image — falls back to distro logo from Papirus when no path is set

[1.1] - 2026-03-17

Added

  • Full config file system via ~/.config/vsfetch/config.json
    • palette — 14 color keys, full UI customization (defaults to Catppuccin Mocha)
    • font — font family override
    • font_sizes — independent sizes for title, body, and small text
    • logo.size — header logo pixel size
    • logo.override — custom logo: file path or icon theme name
    • default_mode — "full", "mini", or "version" (CLI flags still take priority)
    • sections — visible sections and display order for full mode
    • dev_tools — fully customizable development tools list (icon, name, command)
    • chassis — manual override for chassis type detection
    • window — width and height per mode
    • Partial configs supported — only specified keys override defaults
  • Chassis auto-detection from /sys/class/dmi/id/chassis_type
  • config.json example file in repo (installed to /usr/share/doc/vsfetch-git/config.json.example)

Changed

  • WM class changed from arch-about to vsfetch
  • Header logo rendered directly on header background (no wrapper box or border radius)
  • Header text vertically centered relative to logo
  • Header text left padding increased (+15px)
  • Logo padding added (5px all sides)

Fixed

  • Replaced deprecated Gtk.Window.set_wmclass() with GLib.set_prgname()
  • Fixed invalid Python escape sequences causing SyntaxWarning on Python 3.12+

[1.0] - 2026-03-16

Initial release

  • GTK3 "About This Computer" panel for Arch Linux / Hyprland
  • Sections: Hardware, Desktop, Terminal, Development, Uptime
  • --mini and --version modes
  • Auto-detects OS and loads Papirus distributor logo
  • Color-coded disk/RAM usage
