Got it, now I think we are hijacking this thread and should start another somewhere else in the forum.
BUT
before we go, @Governor here is a formatted full path prompt,

After using this a lot now, I notice it's best to start with your terminal very wide or maximized, as long commands will cause the display to wrap a line on itself. With the terminal wide enough it doesn't seem to be an issue.

a simple weather symbol in each prompt
https://github.com/jdotjdot/BashWeather ... me-ov-file

or if you want a more complete forecast....
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1305029 ... inal-opens

with something like
https://wttr.in/seattle
in the script

i saw one once that returned the weather forecast, and another that lit up when it was lunchtime

I'll play around with that full path prompt. edit It's returning 0 for some reason.

@Governor here's a simple one I settled on last night, also you can always type pwd at the prompt and get the full path in about 1 second:

Code: Select all

PS1="\e[31m[\u]\e[32m\W/\e[32m\e[33m$:\e[0m"

Using Fossapup64_9.5

So far I got this.
PS1='\[\e[93;104;1m\]\w\[\e[0m\]>'

I have the following problems with it.
It shows a weird path to the directory, one which I do not recognize and can't use.

I want this: /mnt/sdc1/Documents
It shows this: /c-drive-NTFS/c-drive-NTFS-1/Documents

How do I get my usual path?
How do I get the entire screen to be blue, and all text on the screen to be bold yellow (including all that is typed or echoed to the screen)?
Thanks!

I right click in the terminal emulator window to set background and font configs

It seems to work the way you want it on Uxterm in KLV-Airedale.

That would be using either .Xresources or .Xdefaults. In Fossapup there is a uxrvt terminal gui that will write you a new config. It's in the menu. I think it's called uxrvt control or something like that.

Unfortunately, that isn't working in my fossapup64_9.5.

I haven't used fossapup 9.5 in a good while, but I just discovered a few days ago that using xterminals, like xterm, uxterm, and uxrvt, if you hold the control key and right click or left click on the terminal space, you get two sets of options. I was stunned, I never knew that existed. If you don't want to choose one of those options, it seems you need to release the mouse button over some neutral space like that title area of the option box. But it works, and there are several options there.

This option seems to be present in most of my OSs with a standard xterm.

me either, I guess I was mistaken about which terminal was shipped with fossapup. perhaps if GoV could tell us which terminal program he is asking about.
