fastfetch How to shorten the theme name?

Discussed in https://github.com/fastfetch-cli/fastfetch/discussions/724

^{Originally posted by SherLock707 February 18, 2024} My current theme name looks like this:

my jsonc: { "type": "theme", "key": " 󰉼" },

"format": "{1}" or any other index does not give me a shorten version of the name.

How do I shorten this without manually hard-coding theme name?

It does not seem needed. If it is, perhaps indicating upon which dash to perform string manipulation for a theme:

0 for no string 1 for Catppuccin [GTK2/3] (truncate from first dash instance) 2 for Catppuccin-Mocha [GTK2/3] 3 for Catppuccin-Mocha-Standard [GTK2/3] 50 for Catppuccin-Mocha-Standard-Mauve-Dark [GTK2/3] (out of bounds, but since 50th dash doesn't exist, leave as is)

I Use KDE/QT, I would also like to cut some settings from themes and icons.

{
      "type": "theme",
      "key": "Theme",
      "format": "{1}",
      "keyColor": "white"
},

From: Papirus-Dark [QT], Papirus-Dark [GTK2/3/4]
To:   Papirus-Dark [QT]

From: Breeze (Monochrome) [QT], Breeze-Dark [GTK2], Breeze [GTK3]
To:   Breeze (Monochrome) [QT]

I wish you implement it and give us on KDE this opportunity.

@niri-san Done in the dev branch

@CarterLi, Please make sure also Font to be included, something to "Font - Ink Free (10pt) [QT]" I want to reach it with similar code

   {
      "type": "font",
      "key": "Font",
      "format": "{1}",
      "keyColor": "blue"
   },

I haven't tested the dev branch yet, but once you make a release, also my distro openSUSE Tumbleweed enable it in its repository, I will test it. Thanks for looking at it.

Font should have been supported in current release

Jun 06 '24 16:06 CarterLi

Indeed it is supported on current release, but is missing that [QT]

With "format": "{1}" display as, Screenshot_20240606_195140

While without format string it display as: Screenshot_20240606_195421

All in all, wish it to be displayed as FONT - Ink Free (10pt) [QT]

Jun 06 '24 17:06 alb2talk

"format": "{1} [QT]"

Jun 07 '24 01:06 CarterLi

Ok, I'm setting it manually by hand. Since we are here, I found out that in TTY Font does not appear. Please check when you are on TTY.

   {
      "type": "font",
      "key": "Font",
      "format": "{1} [QT]",
      "keyColor": "blue"
   },

TTY font should be in terminalfont module.

Jun 07 '24 06:06 CarterLi

Fastfetch "format" supports a syntax that you can write simple if-else in it. See fastfetch -h format

Jun 07 '24 06:06 CarterLi

Okay, I'm looking at doing something manually.

I just tested the latest version 2.15.0 from fastfetch-linux-amd64.zip Everything seems fine, this ticket/issue seems completed and you may close it if there are no other things.

Thank you for your fast assistance.

Jun 07 '24 06:06 alb2talk

Would you mind share your config file to add it into presets/examples?

Jun 07 '24 06:06 CarterLi

With Pleasure. I have not finally finished yet. However, there is enough data allready.

P.S. I just jumped in fastfetch from a neofetch (fork), I am honestly surprised by the speed and the many possibilities of extracting information. This preset all.jsonc has helped me a lot.

Many thanks for puting your soul into this amazing project.
