In the xoria256m post, I introduced my xoria256 like color scheme. Again, inspired by solarized, I extended this to other applications. So now I use this in the following apps:

  • vim (see that previous post);
  • mutt (idem);
  • zsh;
  • dircolors;
  • git (a bit).

zsh⌗

See this file to setup the colors. Then in my prompt I have stuff like:

PS1=$'${vcs_info_msg_0_}$FG[067]%(1j.$myjobs% $FX[reset].$FX[reset])$FG[179]%#$FX[reset] '
RPS1="$RPSL%$MAXMID<...<$mypath$RPSR$FG[239]$FX[bold]$__ZH$FX[reset]${vcs_info_msg_1_}"
RPSR=$'$FX[reset]$FG[009]%(0?.$FG[reset]. $E)$FX[reset]'

For zsh I have two files that make up my prompt:

  • zprompt, primary prompt setup;
  • zvcs, version control vcs_info stuff.

Also see this older blog post on this setup. This leads to a prompt looking like this (click for larger):

The normal prompt is very plain. Almost nothing is shown, left the prompt % and on the right the PWD ~:

When logging in to a remote server, the hostname appears on the right:

When a program ends abnormally the exitcode is shown, in words (-INT) and red when it isn’t zero:

When you background an app. the number of bg jobs appear in blue. The one with the + is the current job. Multiple jobs are separated with commas:

When you enter a git/svn/hg directory, the right side shows the type (git, svn, hg) and on the left you get the current branch.

dircolors⌗

Modified from Solarized, not quite finished, but certainly looks nice (IMHO). See this dircolors file, I use it like:

eval $(dircolors ./dircolors)

git⌗

The alias section from my .gitconfig:

[alias]
        st = status
        ci = commit
        br = branch
        co = checkout
        df = diff
        lg = log -p
        pl = pull
        ps = push
        timeline = log --graph \"--pretty=format:%C(192)%h%Creset by %C(bold 239)%an%Creset (%ar)%C(182)%d%Creset%n%s%n%b\" --all

The colors are selected with %C(number).
