Quality

Much quality.

How it works

Branding will detect your Rails application's favicon. It adds a small initializer in development and testing environments that draws the favicon with ANSI control characters whenever you run tests, a rake task or boot the console.

Hi-Res mode

hires mode is a technique where we can 4x the "pixel" density of the terminal. This is accomplished by using the half-height unicode characters.

Some terminal fonts do not render these characters very well and there are some artifacts.

So far, Inconsolata has yield the best results.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'branding'

Usage

If you're adding branding to your Rails project, there is no more configuration. To test how images look in the terminal:

branding logo-72x72.png

To test out hires mode, try:

branding -p hires logo-144x144.png
