Should be easier than posting your dektop screen shots
I use tcsh.
Cant like without (Alt+/) completion.
Code: Select all
set prompt = "`\hostname`|%B%T%b|%C|>"
if(`whoami` == root) then
set prompt = "`\hostname`|%B%T%b|%C|%B#"
endif
which gives a prompt like:
and,, 'green on black' is a passion
and.. Eterm

I've never bothered to change my shell from the default setup, except for changing the colors. I usually have either black background with white letters, or black background with green letters.

I've been using tcsh for a while now, and I'm in love with it.
I use plain white and black, I'm a little boring in that respect.

Bash is an sh-compatible shell that incorporates useful features from the Korn shell (ksh) and C shell (csh)
So basically it's better than plain
sh . But I don't use
ksh/csh stuff so just
sh will do.

Using bash with the default debian prompt, out of complete and total laziness. My GNU screen statusline is kinda cool though *smug*

My prompt is setup like this:
which gives a prompt like this:
[2630-sleepy@testbox-/opt/sfw]
It's a bit long, but it gives all the pertinent information.
And I use a transparent mrxvt (<--- best terminal
ev-ar! ) with gray text on a black wallpapered background.
