Ubuntu terminal look like linux mint terminal?
 
The Linux mint terminal has green and blue for the prompt. How do I make the Ubuntu terminal look like the Linux mint Terminal? I have looked at the color settings under the Terminal profile preferences and I do not see that setting available there.

Prompt colors not terminal colors.

I already knew that. That changes the color for all the text. Which is not what I want. I want to change the colors for the prompt only. I would like the username@computername to be green and the rest of the prompt blue. The rest of the text would be white and black background which I already have set.

You want to get the value of the environment variable PS1. It's stored in a config for bash somewhere (check your homedir and /etc), or you can get it directly from `echo $PS1`. If that comes out colored, it's not going to work and you'll need to find the file. (I don't know; I use zsh and it's a little different for me.)

You'll have to put it into the relevant file on the other system. Try ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc. `man bash` if you want to learn instead of guess.
