Issue: PNG and Colors Not Displaying on Startup in Kitty Terminal

[nskrdev]

Hey everyone,

I’m new to terminal customization and trying to set up fastfetch in my terminal (Kitty) using Zsh. I added it to my .zshrc, so it runs automatically, but I’m having two issues:

• The PNG image doesn’t load automatically when I open a terminal.

• The colors also don’t display properly on startup.

When I manually run fastfetch, everything works perfectly—the image and colors show up fine.

Here’s what I’ve tried:

• Adding a delay in .zshrc like (sleep 0.5 && fastfetch) &.

• Confirmed $DISPLAY is set (I’m using Wayland with Hyprland).

Manually tested fastfetch,and it works perfectly when done manually.

Here’s what it looks like when it works:

Any idea how to fix this? Would really appreciate the help! 😊

Thanks in advance!

Thanks a lot for your help! Putting Fastfetch before the p10k instant prompt in my .zshrc fixed the issue, and everything’s working perfectly now. I really appreciate your quick response!
