Modules

Every row animfetch can show, what it reads, and the default rows of each info style.

A module is one kind of row. modules lists the ones to show, in order:

toml

modules = ["os", "kernel", "uptime", "memory", "cpu", "custom"]

Leave modules unset to get the rows that suit your info_style. Set it and your list wins, whichever style is chosen. A module this machine cannot answer is skipped, so one config works across machines.

tree, sections, chips and iconic draw fixed blocks of rows and ignore the order of modules; they pick from it. classic, boxed, card and minimal follow it exactly.

Available modules#

Module	Row	Notes
`os`	`OS`	Distribution and architecture, such as `Arch Linux x86_64`.
`host`	`Host`	The hardware model from firmware (DMI). Skipped where it only holds filler.
`kernel`	`Kernel`	The kernel release. Styles that read fuller values add its name.
`uptime`	`Uptime`	Time since boot.
`packages`	`Packages`	Installed package count, with the manager, such as `1126 (pacman)`.
`shell`	`Shell`	The name of your shell. Fuller styles add its version.
`shell_path`	`Shell Path`	The full path of `$SHELL`, where `shell` is its name.
`wm`	`WM`	Window manager or compositor. Fuller styles add its version and session.
`terminal`	`Terminal`	The terminal emulator.
`font`	`Font`	The desktop's UI font, from GTK's `settings.ini`. A machine that keeps it only in dconf shows none.
`cpu`	`CPU`	Model, threads and clock.
`temperature`	`Temperature`	The CPU's temperature from its hwmon chip (`k10temp`, `coretemp`). Skipped without one.
`gpu`	`GPU`	Graphics card name, with discrete or integrated where it can be told.
`memory`	`Memory`	Used and total.
`swap`	`Swap`	Used and total.
`disk`	`Disk`	The root filesystem.
`disks`	`Disk`	Every local filesystem, one row each.
`display`	`Display`	Resolution and refresh rate of each display with a mode set. Needs `/dev/dri`.
`battery`	`Battery`	Charge and power state, one row per battery. A desktop shows none.
`os_age`	`OS Age`	Time since the root filesystem was created, which is when the system was installed.
`custom`		Marks where your custom rows go.
`colors`		The classic 8-swatch terminal palette strip.

`boxed`	`os`, `kernel`, `wm`, `terminal`, `shell`, `cpu`, `gpu`, `disk`, `memory`, `uptime`, `os_age`
`tree`	`os`, `shell`, `terminal`, `host`, `cpu`, `gpu`, `memory`, `display`
`sections`	`host`, `cpu`, `gpu`, `memory`, `disks`, `os`, `kernel`, `packages`, `shell`, `wm`, `os_age`, `uptime`, `battery`, `colors`
`chips`	`os`, `kernel`, `uptime`, `packages`, `wm`, `shell`, `terminal`, `font`, `cpu`, `gpu`, `memory`, `disk`, `colors`
`iconic`	`uptime`, `display`, `gpu`, `memory`, `swap`, `cpu`, `temperature`, `kernel`, `wm`, `shell_path`, `packages`, `colors`
`card`	`os`, `kernel`, `uptime`, `shell`, `wm`, `os_age`, `memory`, `cpu`, `disks`, `packages`, `custom`
`minimal`	`os`, `kernel`, `wm`, `shell`, `terminal`, `cpu`, `gpu`, `memory`, `os_age`

Examples#

A short list, in your order:

toml

info_style = "classic"
modules    = ["os", "kernel", "shell", "memory"]

Every disk and battery in classic:

toml

modules = ["os", "uptime", "cpu", "memory", "disks", "battery"]
