i found this link:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/vr/2964672054/sizes/l/
as you can see his username is at the top right, and the input prompt is after the "-->". I've been searching around google, but i just don't know what to type in, i type "changing command line symbol, urxvt", "customize '$', '#' signs in urxvt" but it just gives me peoples Xdefaults settings, and i can't find what i'm looking for.
Is there any way i can make my urxvt terminal look like that guy's from the link provided. I've seen people with crazier ones in deviantart but to some reason i cant find the pics any more .
A guide/tutorial or anything that can put me on the right direction would be very helpful
thnx in advance.

Has to do with the shell, not the terminal emulator. There's a wiki article for bash: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Color_Bash_Prompt

What you see in that pic is zsh, which is a very flexible shell indeed.

it is possible to use zsh's precmd() function to setup information needed to then build a very customized prompt. In addition zsh uses PROMPT, RPROMPT and PS2 environment variable which can be customized using normal zsh scripting methods.
take a look here for a really customized example: http://aperiodic.net/phil/prompt/
