[...] possible. Well, I got it to that point, then took it even further to work with my custom Irssi and ZSH themes (I want everything to tie in nicely). The only thing left is getting Mutt in order, but [...]

@Adam Change

if [[ "$terminfo[colors]” -gt 8 ]]; then

if [[ "$terminfo[colors]” -ge 8 ]]; then

And that should make colours work for you.

[...] it was just distracting. But I live having both a right and left font so I stole a large portion of Aaron Toponce’s zshrc and have made my new prompt that I am rather happy with. Check it out and share what you [...]

@Daniel If you prefer red to paths that aren’t writable, then go ahead and take the source, and change it. Same could be said if you don’t like the three lines, but prefer two, or one. Also, there are only 2 explanation marks, and they’re for style. They’re just red as opposed to bright red, so as to not be distracting, but provide style. Now that I think about it, I might change it to the vertical bar. I guess you don’t like the wakas on the left either? Again, the source is right there in the post, so feel free to change it to your hearts content.

I prefer red when a path is not writable..
also, I find 3 lines for each prompt quite too much.
also^2, what do all the exclamation marks are for? quite distracting.. my first thought had been “!” => “not writable” in this context.

I like the prompt. Currently I’m using the totally over the top prompt found here: http://j.mp/3Ep5aj . Maybe I’ll take a whack at porting your ACPI work to work with what I’m using.

A nifty script, but do you have any idea why I don’t have any colors (ls –color gives me colors, btw). I’m using Gnome-terminal, what are you using?

Groovy idea with the r/w ability of the directory, added that one to my config. On a related note, for your Git stuff, you can make it even easier using zsh-lovers and then adding:

psvar=()
vcs_info

Into your precmd function. And then you just use ${vcs_info_msg_0_} in your prompt. This will give you git, bzr, svn, cvs, hg, and others for vcs support.

Here is a screeny of what mine currently looks like: http://nixternal.com/files/zsh.png
