					Not as fancy as the gif I posted on reddit. But much less large -- in visual size. And features right aligned short dir in bash.

					Alright, show us your prompt and let us know what's particular about it, if anything. 
				Here's mine: ![]() ![]() zshrc: Code: PS1=' %~ > ' | 
		|||
				
  | 
		|||
| 
				 
					I still prefer a non-annoying approach: 
				![]() .cshrc: Code: set prompt = '[%n@%m:%~]%# '-- <mort> choosing a terrible license just to be spiteful towards others is possibly the most tux0r thing I've ever seen  | 
		|||

					my minimal zsh prompt: 
				 
                                         | 
		|||
				
  | 
		|||

					minimal 
				 
                                         | 
		|||
				
  | 
		|||
| 
				 
					I use a left and right PS1 on ksh. 
				The left prompt indicates whether I'm root (it becomes red when I'm root), and, if a command fails, it prints the exit code returned by the last command between square brackets. The right prompt indicates where I am. ![]() Here's how I set it: Code: promptcmd() { |

  |

				![]() I'm a simple man.

					This is mine atm: 
				![]() I use vi keys in shell, so I have right aligned my mode. Also, the bright pink cursor makes it easy to spot in source code) Code: export PS1='%f[%F{cyan}%~%f]> ' |

					here is mine, oh-my-zsh, muse theme, customized a bit: 
				 
                                         |

					Mine's quite boring, this is ZSH without any frameworks or so. 
				I used to be a vim user (before Emacs) and my workflow hinged on suspending/resuming vim to get to my shell, so I've got the background job indicated in the prompt (and also resume bound to C-z for quick toggling). Also highlighting to indicate existing executables/paths.

					Wrong OS at the moment, but here's my boring wsl prompt: 
				 | 
		|||
				
  |

				 -- <mort> choosing a terrible license just to be spiteful towards others is possibly the most tux0r thing I've ever seen  |

This seems pretty high contrast to me -- I was curious and checked, I get 3.6 (the gray). Granted, I only enforce a minimum ratio of 2.2. ... oh, the previous prompt text (the yellowish?) is 2.26, which is fairly low.  |

I don't like too high contrast because I find it too harsh on the eyes. Another dark theme I really like is gruvbox (the dark soft variant). I rather increase the font size than the contrast, as I'm slowly going blind (really need to get some glasses). During the day I mostly use Solarized light, which should in theory have the same contrast.  |
