Sorry, I guess I haven't used bash for so long that I forgot that :-) But still, the fact that the bash prompt is ugly doesn't justify that the default zsh prompt has to be ugly, too. Besides I wasn't only talking about the prompt. All the nice features of zsh have to be turned on manually first which I think is a shame. But it seems that everyone on the list is happy and you don't want to "convert" bash users to zsh. Well, I don't care, just wanted to help with an idea. :-( Chau, Andy. -- http://peru.spiegl.de Our project http://radiomaranon.org.pe Radio Marañón, Jaén, Perú o _ _ _ ------- __o __o /\_ _ \\o (_)\__/o (_) -o) ----- _`\<,_ _`\<,_ _>(_) (_)/<_ \_| \ _|/' \/ /\\ ---- (_)/ (_) (_)/ (_) (_) (_) (_) (_)' _\o_ _\_v ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you keep doing what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten.
