#### Using the config file
Fetch will by default create a config file at `$HOME/.config/fetch/config` and this file<br \>
contains all of the script's options/settings. The config file allows you to keep your<br \>
customizations between script versions and allows you to easily share your customizations<br \>
with other people.
You can launch the script without a config file by using the flag `--config none` and you can<br \>
specify a custom config location using `--config path/to/config`.

#### fetch: line 1655: /usr/lib/w3m/w3mimgdisplay: No such file or directory
You're getting this error because the script can't find w3mimgdisplay in it's<br \>
default location. You can fix this by setting the config option `$w3m_img_path`<br \>
to the correct location of w3mimgdisplay.
Other places that `w3mimgdisplay` could located be are:
/usr/lib/w3m/w3mimgdisplay
/usr/libexec/w3m/w3mimgdisplay
/usr/lib64/w3m/w3mimgdisplay

#### The image is blank and won't show up. #### The image is blank and won't show up.
If the images display in `ranger` and `w3m` then it's an issue with my script and not<br \>
your terminal emulator.
Some terminal emulators don't support viewing images with w3m. You can either disable<br \>
images with `--image off` at launch or `image=off` inside the script.
#### The image is rendering with black lines in Urxvt while using an xft font.
This is an issue with w3mimgdisplay and not the script. You can find a possible workaround here:
