FREE Coloured custom command prompts!!!!! =)

Hegemon · 01-20-2003, 08:01 AM

I though i would paste my custom command prompts here for people to use. Simply add them to your .profile in your home directory or type them as is to test them. The code for each of them is 1 line long, if you see diffrently its because your browser is wraping them around so make sure you paste them as one line. All prompts have the user@hostname and then the path, i havn't put the time in any of them because that would take lots of space.

Yellow and red one:

Code:

export PS1="\[\033[1;30m\][\[\033[0;32m\][\[\033[1;32m\][\[\033[1;33m\]\u\[\033[1;37m\]@\[\033[1;33m\]\h\[\033[1;37m\]:\[\033[1;31m\]\w\[\033[1;32m\]]\[\033[0;32m\]]\[\033[1;30m\]]\[\033[0;00m\] "

A red one designed to be used for root as a warning, also makes all text typed red:

Code:

export PS1="\[\033[1;30m\][\[\033[0;31m\][\[\033[1;31m\][\[\033[1;35m\]\u\[\033[1;37m\]@\[\033[1;35m\]\h\[\033[1;37m\]:\[\033[1;31m\]\w\[\033[1;31m\]]\[\033[0;31m\]]\[\033[1;30m\]]\[\033[1;31m\] "

A diffrent yellow and red one:

Code:

export PS1="\[\033[1;30m\]%\[\033[0;31m\]%\[\033[1;31m\]%\\033[1;33m\]\u\[\033[0;1m\]@\[\033[1;33m\]\h\[\033[0;1m\]:\[\033[0;33m\]\w\[\033[1;31m%\[\033[0;31m\]%\[\033[1;30m\]%\[\033[0;0m\] "

A green one:

Code:

export PS1="\[\033[1;30m\]<\[\033[0;36m\](\[\033[0;32m\]{\[\033[1;32m\][\[\033[0;32m\]\u\[\033[1;32m\]@\[\033[0;32m\]\h\[\033[1;36m\]:\[\033[0;36m\]\w\[\033[1;32m\]]\[\033[0;32m\]}\[\033[0;36m\])\[\033[1;30m\]>\[\033[0;32m\] "

A blue one:
[code[export PS1="\[\033[0;34m\]o\[\033[0;36m\](\[\033[1;36m\]O\[\033[0;36m\])\[\033[1;34m\]\u\[\033[1;36m\](\[\033[0;1m\]@\[\033[1;36m\])\[\033[1;34m\]\h\[\033[1;36m\]:\[\033[0;34m\]\w\[\033[0;36m\](\[\033[1;36m\]O\[\033[0;36m\])\[\033[0;34m\]o\[\033[0;0m\] "[/code]

A Inverted one

Code:

export PS1="\[\033[1;30;47m\][=]\[\033[0;30;47m\]\u\[\033[0;1;47m\]@\[\033[0;30;47m\]\h\[\033[1;30m\]][\[\033[0;30;47m\]\w\[\033[1;30m\][=]\[\033[0;0m\] "

Well, anyone can create this after reading the bash how-to, or even get many other ones at themes depot, of course for free.. Still it's nice you're sharing your knowledge...
I still prefer mine:

#!/bin/bash

RED="\[\033[0;31m\]"
GREEN="\[\033[0;32m\]"
BLUE="\[\033[0;34m\]"
PURPLE="\[\033[0;35m\]"
CYAN="\[\033[0;36m\]"
YELLOW="\[\033[0;33m\]"
NONE="\[\033[0m\]"

# Things BASH understands:
# \a an ASCII bell character (07)
# \d the date in "Weekday Month Date" format
# \e an ASCII escape character (033)
# \h the hostname up to the first `.'
# \H the hostname
# \j the number of jobs currently managed by the shell
# \l the basename of the shell's terminal device
# \n newline
# \r carriage return
# \t the current time in 24-hour HH:MM:SS format
# \T the current time in 12-hour HH:MM:SS format
# \@ the current time in 12-hour am/pm format
# \u the username of the current user
# \v the version of bash (e.g., 2.00)
# \V the release of bash, version + patchlevel
# \w the current working directory
# \W the basename of the current working dir
# \! the history number of this command
# \# the command number of this command
# \$ if the effective UID is 0, a #, otherwise a $
# \\ a backslash
#

if
[ "$UID" = "0" ];
then
# Logged in as root

GREEN="\[\033[0;33m\]"
CYAN="\[\033[0;31m\]"

I was planing on putting the colours into strings, not sure why i didn't in the end. I havn't seen themedeport.org befoure looking though it now =)

membrax · 01-20-2003, 10:09 AM

any 3D effects ?

coz those colored lines ... errr ... how to say, I'm missing the point maybe.

The Bash-prompt mini-howto is great. I now have a different coloured prompt for regular users, and root, which is great for keeping track of who you are. I also stuck the time in, just because:

PS1=\[\033[0;35m\][$(date +%H:%M)][\u@\h \W]$\[\033[0m\]

and the prompt looks like:

Code:

[12:43][bulliver@badcomputer src]$
