Sixel support

Open 0Karakurt0 opened this issue 3 years ago • 5 comments

It is almost ready to be full-on conky support, but one crutial pice is missing - graphs. And this "renderer" being so rightfully unixway I don't see a justification to implement something like custom protocol, no, but I also see that there is no way to render output of programs that already can draw them. Therefore I ask for sixel suppopt, that would make it a lot easier. And you can also render regular images with it.

Let me be honest: I've never used Conky, as it's useless on tiling WMs (always covered with windows). I've never expected the wrapper to be a Conky replacement. I'm not sure if sixel support is even possible inside a GTK window.

I think I've seen solutions using terminal widget or something like that

Same) But users see it as Conky replacement, and I can't really think of another way to make it somewhat useful on tiling WM (aka how do you see it being used with only text?)
