[SOLVED] -- Help with Terminal Customization

mediocremorsov · 2017-01-11 03:03:33

Greetings fellow Arch Users and a very Happy New Year,

I was wondering if I can get some input on how to customize my terminal as shown in the picture below.
I am aware that I need to customize using the PS1 variable but I am unsure on how to get the static symbols that are towards the left edge of the screen.

Thanks a bunch in advance.

Read the Code of Conduct and only post thumbnails http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cod … s_and_code

And that is one of my screenshots from many years ago; what static symbols are you referring to? The arch logo?

He is referring to connection between two lines of prompt, something like "[" on left side of prompt

That's just an unicode character:

PS1="┌─[\[\e[34m\]\h\[\e[0m\] \[\e[32m\]\w\[\e[0m\]]\n└─╼ "
