festivetech theme days till christmas

[tapatiohaxx]

I am new to doing stuff with Windows system commands, can anyone here explain to me how to remove the tree icon and get the correct amount of days until Christmas?

@tapatiohaxx In fact, this is not handled by OMP itself. Related code:

oh-my-posh/themes/festivetech.omp.json

Line 69 in 9f9b91e

"template": " \uf1bb {{ .Env.DAYS }} days till Christmas ",

And please see this:

this theme is a bit special and needs the following in your
PowerShell profile to work correctly:

function Set-EnvVars {
$now = [DateTime]::Now
$env:DAYS = ([Datetime](“12/25/” + $now.Year) – $Now).Days
}
New-Alias -Name 'Set-PoshContext' -Value 'Set-EnvVars' -Scope Global -Force

As we can see, we need a trick to make the env DAYS reflect the amount of days until Christmas. :)

Thank you very much for linking me to this code. I am happy to have this theme working correctly.
Hope you have a nice day!

@tapatiohaxx did you make it work? where exactly do i need to put the mentioned code? sorry i'm newbie...

@KamilaMattos You should put the following code in your PowerShell profile to make it work:

function Set-EnvVars {
  $now = [DateTime]::Now
  $env:DAYS = ([Datetime]("12/25/" + $now.Year) - $now).Days
}
New-Alias -Name 'Set-PoshContext' -Value 'Set-EnvVars' -Scope Global -Force

No worries, what I did to solve this problem is created two files, one at C:\Users\[My_USER]\Documents\PowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1 and one at C:\Users\[My_USER]\.config\powershell\user_profile.ps1. Once I did that, I used the files in my repo at ps-user-scripts to fill each of the above files.

The main $PROFILE serves as a pointer to the user profile which contains all of the cool theming, aliases, environment variables, and other things you want to set your environment up with.

Remember to change the paths to the theme files you have on your machine for everything to work well.

Hope it all works out for you!
