Modes

blaeckfetch supports three display modes, each with a different visual style and purpose.

Default Mode

The clean, minimal mode featuring the moon logo with essential system information. This is the evolved minimal identity of blaeckfetch.

blaeckfetch
# or explicitly
blaeckfetch --mode default

In your config:

mode = "default"

Neofetch Mode

A familiar layout for users coming from neofetch. This mode provides a classic fetch-style display.

blaeckfetch --neofetch
# or
blaeckfetch --mode neofetch

In your config:

mode = "neofetch"

Splash Mode

A retro console-inspired animated splash screen with starfield backgrounds and optional custom images. Perfect for terminal startup sequences.

blaeckfetch --splash
# or
blaeckfetch --mode splash

In your config:

mode = "splash"

For detailed splash mode configuration options, see the dedicated Splash Mode page.
