raluvy95 / desktop-visualizer

My fork of desktop-visualizer, hopefully keeping it up-to-date with desktop changes and customizing it.

desktop-visualizer

*nix desktop audio visualizer made with SFML

I use some snippets of code from cava and conky.

Dependencies

• PulseAudio(for PipeWire you need pipewire-pulse)
• fftw3
• SFML 2.5+
• libinih

Tested platforms

• FreeBSD 13.2
• Arch Linux
• postmarketOS

Probably will work on any other Unix-like OS that has Xorg and supplies the dependencies

Building

$ cmake .
$ make

Installation

Build the project, then run ./install.sh in the project root. After that, you can execute it using the desktop icon named "Desktop Visualizer" it just created.

Configuration

Configuring the program is really easy, just edit ~/.config/deskvis.ini after you've installed the program using install.sh. The syntax is just regular INI syntax, but it's pretty self-explanatory just from looking at the config file.

TODO

• Add support for other audio sources
• More visualizer designs (possibly one similar to cava.)
