We’re hoping to collect a bunch of zsh prompt themes from people. Please send us yours!
Fork the project, add your theme, and send a pull request to Robby Russell. We’ll evaluate it and merge if there are no problems.
Screenshots of each theme (as of 2013-04-10), in OS X Terminal.app with Consolas 14pt and Solarized Dark color scheme, inside a folder containing both a git and a mercurial repo. Each screenshot displays the output of the pwd command. It has shortcomings (Solarized displays some colors as white, and plugins for some themes might be missing), but it offers a convenient and uniform overview of each theme. Plugins used were battery, rvm, hg prompt, among others which did not seem to change the shell.
