However my `VcXsrv` server crashed each time I start the `Ibus` daemon. I haven't found a solution yet so let's just pass.

## WSLg(postponed)

Official graphic support for WSL. Fresh WSL install from the MS store will include the WSLg automatically, but existing WSL2 can also get graphic support by simply run the command `wsl --update` from an elevated command prompt.

Before updating your WSL2, please remember to `wsl --shutdown`

Maybe due to a bad network condition, my updating process failed to progress. Considering I have already installed `xfce4` graphic support, this can wait.

## Visual Studio Codes Background Personalization

 [How to Change the Background Image in Visual Studio Code | by Omobolanle Arogundade | Medium](https://medium.com/@omobolanlearogundade/how-to-change-the-background-image-in-visual-studio-code-8717f5e4e107) 

- Firstly download some pics:  [1300+ Evangelion HD Wallpapers and Backgrounds (alphacoders.com)](https://wall.alphacoders.com/by_collection.php?id=643) 

- Then install an extension called `background`

- Then change the `settings.json` for personalization, e.g.:

  - ```
        "background.enabled": true,
        "background.useFront": false,
        "background.useDefault": false,
        "background.loop": true,
        "background.interval": 3,
        "background.customImages": [
            "file:///C://Users//Pictures//evangelion_0.jpg",
        ],
        
        "background.fullscreen": {
            "image": [
                "file:///C://Users//Pictures//evangelion_0.jpg",
            ],
            "opacity": 0.88,
            "size": "cover",
            "position": "center",
            "interval": 60
        },
    
    
        "background.style": {
            "content": "''",
            "pointer-events": "none",
            "position": "absolute",
            "z-index": "99999",
            "width": "100%",//宽度
            "height": "100%",//高度
            "background-position": "0% 0%",//文件位置
            "background-repeat": "no-repeat",//是否默认文字重复
            "opacity": 0.2//不透明度0~1
        },

In this example, the fullscreen would override the other settings, so the entire background of vscode would be changed, and to different pics at the chosen intervals.

Proxy

By configuring .bashrc or .zshrc, we can set proxy automatically. By the way, we can also use proxychains4 to manually use proxy.

(155条消息) windows powershell配置http代理_$env:http_proxy_脱发小阿毛。的博客-CSDN博客

These settings are based on ip tables but I think I can’t get it correctly.

Anyway, I can still use proxychains4 but each time I change my Windows network settings, the WSL2 configuration will also be changed manually as well through /etc/proxychains4.conf.

on Windows

Do notice that on Windows we have two types of terminals: one is the classic CMD, the other is Windows Powershell. These two may seem similar in daily use, but their modes of configuration ain’t the same.

Windows Powershell

The environment variable $PROFILE is the path where the PS setting file lies in. So we use the code $PROFILE command to add our things:

function set_http_proxy {
    $env:HTTP_PROXY="http://127.0.0.1:10867"
    echo $env:HTTP_PROXY
}

function set_https_proxy {
    $env:HTTPS_PROXY="http://127.0.0.1:10867"
    echo $env:HTTPS_PROXY
}

function unset_http_proxy {
    $env:HTTP_PROXY=""
}

function unset_https_proxy {
    $env:HTTPS_PROXY=""
}

echo "[*] SETTING HTTP/HTTPS PROXY"
set_http_proxy
set_https_proxy
echo "[*] SETTING SUCCESS"

Then we have it! To put in a nutshell, the core environment variables are $env:HTTP_PROXY and $env:HTTPS_PROXY. Change these two, then the proxy will be set in this terminal.

Windows CMD—-through Windows env settings

Actually the Windows original command line isn’t that user-friendly. according to this website:

cmd - How to run a command on command prompt startup in Windows - Stack Overflow

One may need to alter the registry to achieve the “Autorun” every time you start a command.

Anyway, let’s just say we don’t need the automatic proxy setting right now, so what we need to do is to run these following commands each time we start the cmd:

1
2
set http_proxy="http://127.0.0.1:10867"
set https_proxy="http://127.0.0.1:10867"

10867 is the host http proxy port in my computer. Change this value according to your own.

Open the Windows environmental variables panel, then add two following variables in the system variables:

  • http_proxy
  • https_proxy

With the exact “http://127.0.0.1:10867“ as the value respectively just like we did before.

Problems

Charset error on Windows Terminal in Zsh

安装zsh解决zsh下terminal终端字符乱码问题_zsh ago 乱码_王一诺Eno的博客-CSDN博客

You have to make the font configuration consistent with that set in Zsh. I use “MesloLGS NF” on the Linux Terminal, so just set the same on the Windows Terminal by changing the font setting on settings.json with “MesloLGS NF”
