[Solved] terminal help!

im wondering is how to change your terminal to look like this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/261312/archey.png
(where the longbow and ~/dotfiles part are)

not sure if its just a specific terminal emulator or whether its changed in a config file(assuming config)

i currently use urvxt as my terminal emu

thanks, stealthben

Please resize your image to conform to the guidelines.

You are looking for a customized bash prompt - that, and so very much more, is on the wiki...

Re: [Solved] terminal help!

That wiki article also mentions a thread on this forum, where you can find many more examples: What's your PS1?

They work from either /etc/bash.bashrc (system-wide) or ~/.bashrc, but if you remove (or comment out) any reference to a PS1 and you just see a "bash-4.2$" line, you can use them temporarily by just running:

$ PS1="┌─[\A][\w]\n└─╼ "

Have fun.

I have made a personal commitment not to reply in topics that start with a lowercase letter. Proper grammar and punctuation is a sign of respect, and if you do not show any, you will NOT receive any help (at least not from me).
