vsFetch is a graphical system information utility inspired by Fastfetch but designed around a GTK desktop window rather than textual command-line output.
It acts as an attractive “About This Computer” panel, combining hardware information with details about the current desktop environment, shell, terminal and development tools. The program is highly customisable, with alternate layouts, theme inheritance and decorative background effects, so it can serve both as a practical system profiler and as a personalised desktop information display.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Groups information into Hardware, Desktop, Terminal, Development and Uptime sections.
- Offers a conventional top-header layout and an alternative left-hand sidebar.
- Provides a compact mode containing the header and hardware information.
- Automatically identifies the operating system and can display its distribution logo.
- Detects details including the shell, terminal, fonts and installed package information.
- Uses colour-coded indicators to make memory and disk utilisation easier to assess.
- Provides configurable rain, snow, matrix, aurora and warp background animations.
- Can overlay a user-selected image on the application background.
- Offers configurable two-colour animated separator bars.
- Stores user preferences in a JSON configuration file.
- Supports partial configurations which inherit unspecified built-in defaults.
- Provides theme inheritance so machine-specific settings can remain separate from visual themes.
- Includes a collection of ready-made appearance themes.
- Lets users customise colours, fonts, window dimensions and visible sections.
- Can run with an explicitly selected configuration file for easy theme testing.
- Provides a companion graphical settings editor for users who prefer not to edit JSON manually.
