Introduction

I see a lot of programmers interested in having a waifu in terminal. So here how I do it.

waifu

first

go to any search engine and search for Anime black and white png

Alt Text

then open any photo editor , I use photopea online create a new transparent image with same dimension of your screen . In my case it's 1920x1080 . Drag and drop your waifu into the corner and save it as png.

Alt Text

final result should look like this

Alt Text

second

move your image to any location you like mine is $HOME/.config/kitty/ in same folder with kitty configuration. first I am using the kitty terminal.after install it go to the config files

vim ~/.config/kitty/kitty.conf

then add those lines to the end of the files , also you can delete the config file and make new one with those lines only because all the file is just comments.
