colors

Because I have to stare at my command prompt all the time on my computer, it should look at least half-decent, so I am trying to get it colored. The expected outcome is sen's coloring as seen on this site.

I have the colors I want set in my .Xdefaults file, but they of course do not color my prompt.

My .zshrc is Phil's Prompt. My .Xdefaults is:

*background:     #121212
!black
xterm*color0:         #353535
xterm*color8:         #666666
!red
xterm*color1:         #AE4747
xterm*color9:         #EE6363
!green
xterm*color2:         #556B2F
xterm*color10:        #9ACD32
!brown/yellow
xterm*color3:         #DAA520
xterm*color11:        #FFC125
!blue
xterm*color4:         #6F99B4
xterm*color12:        #7C96B0
!magenta
xterm*color5:         #8B7B8B
xterm*color13:        #D8BFD8
!cyan
xterm*color6:         #A7A15E
xterm*color14:        #F0E68C
!white
xterm*color7:         #DDDDDD
xterm*color15:        #FFFFFF

*foreground:     #DDDDDD

Help will be appreciated.

Is fish or zsh better for shell programming?

I'm a bash user willing to switch to a more friendly and advanced shell. I read a lot of good things about zsh, but I gave a quick test at fish and it seems great too. Both seem very close in term of features, what is your opinion about those two shells especially as regards shell programming? >>> More
