How to color the Prompt string all to other than white ?

[Budi]

How can we modify to have a colored Prompt string to be other than simple white

You can put colour in your prompt string using ANSI Codes.

Take a look at ANSI X3.64 Command Reference for TCC for examples.

Here's an example of a coloured prompt string;

prompt $E[1A$E[97;44mTCC  $p$g

From the ANSI X3.64 Command Reference;

<ESC>[rowsA

Cursor up by rows (default is 1)

97

107

Bright white

34

44

Blue

$E[1A = Cursor up 1 row
$E[97;44m = Change colour to Bright White on a Blue background
TCC = Any text that you want

This is from the help for the Prompt Command;

p	Current drive and directory (lower case).

g	The > character.

$p$g = Current drive and directory (lower case), and the > character.

Friendly reminder that ANSI must be enabled for the previous to work.
