Looking for a segment of neofetch [SOLVED]

[Logansfury]

Hello all,

My neofetch displays on my terminal a Windows Manager field, populated with the value:

WM: Mutter (Muffin)

Does anyone know the script neofetch uses to display this?

Thank you,

Logan

It depends on your system. In your case it is likely it uses xprop for it.
In the neofetch script itself it is determined in the function get_wm() in /usr/bin/neofetch
The portion that you are interested in is probably this:

Code: Select all

id=$(xprop -root -notype _NET_SUPPORTING_WM_CHECK)
id=${id##* }
wm=$(xprop -id "$id" -notype -len 100 -f _NET_WM_NAME 8t)
wm=${wm/*WM_NAME = }
wm=${wm/\"}
wm=${wm/\"*}
echo "$wm"

I added the last line to display the result.

Hey Vimes how are you?

That displays exactly what I want it to!

I wanted to use this in conky, can it be done in one line?

[vimes666]

I dont know about conky but this may do it (as one line):

Code: Select all

id=$(xprop -root -notype _NET_SUPPORTING_WM_CHECK) && id=${id##* } && wm=$(xprop -id "$id" -notype -len 100 -f _NET_WM_NAME 8t) && wm=${wm/*WM_NAME = } && wm=${wm/\"} && wm=${wm/\"*} && echo "$wm"

My conky is displaying the WM info perfectly!

Thank you for taking the time to help

But you could also use

Code: Select all

neofetch wm

instead

neofetch wm

I see! It needs editing for conky however, it's displaying as "wm: Mutter (Muffin)" and I need just "Mutter (Muffin)"

Got it!!

Code: Select all

neofetch wm | awk -F ': ' '{print $2}'

[vimes666]

Then use this:

Code: Select all

a=$(neofetch wm) && echo "${a#* }"

Ok you got it now
