I have been working on an awesome bash prompt theming mechanism. I could |
2 |
easily make a format to make color prompts using strings like $red for |
3 |
red text, etc. And then i could even write a few sample bash prompt |
4 |
themes. I have all the ANSI colors defined already, and assigned to thier |
5 |
own unique variable. |

Sounds like a cool idea to me. |
