Per-host prompt color definitions

Create a fine named hosts.themes with your per-host prompt color definitions.

You can define a color for the following 3 parts of the prompt:

• the <user> name
• the <at> symbol (@)
• the <host> name for a non-root user and for root

So the following variables can be defined:

• user_color_user

• at_color_user

• host_color_user

• user_color_root

• at_color_root

• host_color_root

The colors are defined in this order <user>, <at>, <host> so if a color is not defined the precedent is used. No color equals to white.

Example

If your host is named myhost setting hosts.themes like this:

host="$(hostname |  cut -d'.' -f1)"
case "$host" in
  'myhost')
      local user_color_root="${fg[red]}"

      local user_color_user="${fg[green]}"
      local at_color_user="${fg[magenta]}"
      local host_color_user="${fg[yellow]}"
      ;;
 esac

You get:
