Light-weight Prompt
One of the first prompts I produced myself. Shows how to use colour in a prompt, looks okay (if you like blue and red - limited colour choices ...). Also modifies the title of xterms (if you are in one - it checks) to reflect similar information to the prompt.
Code:
#!/bin/bash function proml { local BLUE="\[\033[0;34m\]" local RED="\[\033[0;31m\]" local LIGHT_RED="\[\033[1;31m\]" local WHITE="\[\033[1;37m\]" local LIGHT_GRAY="\[\033[0;37m\]" case $TERM in xterm*) TITLEBAR='\[\033]0;\u@\h:\w\007\]' ;; *) TITLEBAR="" ;; esac PS1="${TITLEBAR}\ $BLUE[$RED\$(date +%H%M)$BLUE]\ $BLUE[$LIGHT_RED\u@\h:\w$BLUE]\ $WHITE\$$LIGHT_GRAY " PS2='> ' PS4='+ ' }
