There is screenfetch - It has information about the theme you are using, as well as screen resolution.

Download the code from: http://git.silverirc.com/cgit.cgi/screenfetch.git/plain/screenfetch-dev
Copy the code and Paste the code in a new file in gedit and save as screenfetch in your Home Folder.
Run
```
chmod +x screenfetch  
```
(making sure your terminal is directed to your home folder)
Then:
```
./screenfetch
```

Here are details about the program https://github.com/KittyKatt/screenFetch

This also has the option of auto taking a screenshot - if you have scrot installed.

Install scrot:
```
sudo apt-get install scrot
```
Run screenfecth with -s
```
./screenfetch -s  
```

`screenfetch`

On more recent versions of Ubuntu (>16.04), you can install screenfetch from official repositories:

apt install screenfetch

Official code is on GitHub.
PPA also available
