How would I configure bash to have the title above my input line as shown in this screenshot:

Look into zsh and follow this when you've installed it.

You don't need to install another shell because of it. IIRC, bash can use multiple-line PS1 (there's a topic about sharing your PS1, search for it).

For example:

$(cat .bashrc | grep "PS1") wrote:

export PS1="\[$RED\]--> \[$WHITE\][\[$BLUE\]\u \[$WHITE\]:: \[$CYAN\]\h \[$WHITE\]:: \[$MAGENTA\]\w\[$WHITE\]]\n\[$YELLOW\]<-- \[$NOCOLOR\]"
