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.

Code:
;; set the eshell prompt

;; i'm ~sooo~ original

(setq eshell-prompt-function (lambda ()

      (concat (if (= 0 (user-uid)) "Λ" "λ") " ")))

I do a good bit of buffer manipulation, hence the use of eshell and

Alright, show us your prompt and let us know what's particular about it, if anything.

Here's mine:

zshrc:

Code:
PS1=' %~ > '

export SUDO_PROMPT="[0;31m[Switching User] > "

I still prefer a non-annoying approach:

.cshrc:

Code:
set prompt = '[%n@%m:%~]%# '

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() {

    _exit=$?

    _dir=$(echo "$PWD" | sed "s,^$HOME,~,")

    _tty=$(tty)

    _tty=${_tty#/dev/}

    printf "%s" "\[\e]0;$_tty: $_dir\a\]"           # set window title

    echo                                            # blank line

    [ "$_exit" -gt 0 ] && printf "%s" "\[\e[1;31m\] [$_exit]"

    printf "%s" "\[\e[0m\]"

    printf "%s" "\[\e[s\]"                          # save cursor position

    printf "%s" "\[\e[$((COLUMNS - ${#_dir}))G\]"   # go to right

    printf "%s" "$_dir"                             # print pwd

    printf "%s" "\[\e[u\]"                          # restore cursor position

    if [ $(id -u) -eq 0 ]

    then

        printf "%s" "\[\e[1;31m\]"

    else

        printf "%s" "\[\e[1m\]"

    fi

    printf "%s" " ❯ "

    printf "%s" "\[\e[0m\]"

}

PS1='`promptcmd`'

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]> '

export PS2='%f>>> '

export RPS1='%F{243}${vi_mode}'

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.

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.

This is the stock Solarized dark theme. 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.
