There are only so many ways to combine 8 colors :) From the manpage: colors This function initializes several associative arrays to map color names to (and from) the ANSI standard eight-color terminal codes. These are used by the prompt theme system (see above). You seldom should need to run colors more than once. The eight base colors are: black, red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan, and white. Each of these has codes for fore- ground and background. In addition there are eight intensity attributes: bold, faint, standout, underline, blink, reverse, and conceal. Finally, there are six codes used to negate attributes: none (reset all attributes to the defaults), normal (neither bold nor faint), no-standout, no-underline, no-blink, and no-reverse. > I'd be very grateful if you could at least try this prompt out so you > know my request: > > PROMPT=$'%{\e[01;36m%}(%{\e[22;36m%}%n%{\e[01;30m%}@' > PROMPT+=$'%{\e[22;36m%}%m%{\e[01;36m%})%{\e[01;36m%}%{\e[01;36m%}(' > PROMPT+=$'%{\e[22;36m%}%D{%H:%M}%{\e[01;30m%}+%{\e[22;36m%}%D{%d/%m}' > PROMPT+=$'%{\e[01;36m%})%{\e[01;30m\e[00m%}\n%{\e[01;36m%}(' > PROMPT+=$'%{\e[22;36m%}%#%{\e[01;30m%}:%{\e[22;36m%}%~%{\e[01;36m%})' > PROMPT+=$'%{\e[01;30m\e[00m%} ' How about something like: autoload -U colors colors if [[ $USER == root ]] ; then c1="%{$fg_no_bold[cyan]%}" # base color1 c2="%{$fg_bold[cyan]%}" # base color2 c3="%{$fg_bold[black]%}" # punctuation else c1="%{$fg_no_bold[red]%}" # base color1 c2="%{$fg_bold[red]%}" # base color2 c3="%{$fg_bold[black]%}" # punctuation fi PROMPT="$c2($c1%n$c3@$c1%m$c2)($c1%D{%H:%M}$c3+$c1%D{%d/%m}$c2)"$'\n' PROMPT+="$c2($c1%#$c3:$c1%~$c2) %{$reset_color%}" -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
