How do I make my terminal look like this?

Hello, I'm trying to figure out how this guy made so his terminal look the way it does.
I've searched around some sites but I can't really figure out what to look for as I don't know the name of the application or what it really is, just that it looks like that.

Rob (the dzen dev, IIRC and BTW) is probably using urxvt as a terminal. The prompt is a two-line prompt like this one, you'll need zsh for it. Also, he uses XMonad, a tiling window manager, which doesn't draw any window decorations, so there's no close/maximize/minimize buttons or title bar. Good luck getting into them all, you're in for quite a journey.
