What is it?

Put simply, the TUI is your main way of using fastfetch-config. It is an interactive text-based interface as opposed to the manual commands normally.

How to use it

Run the command ff tui when fastfetch-config is installed.

Contents of TUI

The main menu contains 9 options:

  1. Variables (This lets you manage your modules, which are named variables in fastfetch-config)

  2. Logo (Allows you to edit the ASCII art logo)

  3. OS Name (Allows you to change the displayed OS name)

  4. Colors (Allows you to override default colors)

  5. Status (Views information on your current config)

  6. Reset (Allows you to reset your entire config or just individual variables)

  7. Update (Checks for updates, and if they are available, downloads and installs them)

  8. Backup / Restore (Allows you to manage your backups & create new ones)

  9. Help (Views the command list)

  10. Exit (Exits the TUI & runs fastfetch)

Extra information

Any important operation pauses with saying "Press enter to continue..." so you can read the result before exiting the current submenu.

Navigation menus are single-key, meaning you don't need to press enter.
