I only the last couple days started theming after looking at hundreds of images for inspiration, and figured i have a slightly different approach then most of the advice. Though i only have themed one part of my system yet myself (my fastfetch config, almost everything else is ripped from somewhere else)

first i wrote down everything i could show off in my fastfetch config, then picked out what i wanted to show. next, i aligned the parts i wanted into a fitting Layout, and drew it on paper.

next i just ported the thing to fastfetch, getting a bit more of an idea what i even wanted along the way.

i think ill do the same for my bar, which i plan to do next
