Terminal Setup

The following features depend on terminal settings.


Continuous Line

For the continuous separator line above the prompt, you need a font that has the ▁ (U+2581) symbol. These are the known compatible fonts:

  • IBM Plex Sans
  • Hack
  • Fira Code
  • Anonymous Pro
  • Courier New
  • Fantasque Sans Mono
  • Free Courier
  • FreeMono
  • Hermit
  • Inconsolata
  • Jetrains Mono
  • Latin Modern Mono
  • League Mono
  • Liberation Mono
  • Linux Libertine Mono O
  • Monospace
  • monofur
  • Noto Mono
  • Noto Sans Mono
  • Terminus
  • Ubuntu Mono
  • Andale Mono
  • Courier Prime Code
  • DejaVu Sans Mono
  • IBM 3270

Even if your current font does not have the symbol, it is very likely that you have another font installed which does have it being used as fallback.


Symbols

For symbols you could use a font patched with Nerd Fonts, such as FiraCode Nerd Font. If the linked FiraCode Nerd Font doesn't work, you could try patching it yourself (or any other font for that matter).

Install FiraCode Nerd Font

  1. Follow the link to FiraCode Nerd Font, navigate to the ttf file for the font size you want (such as Regular > complete > Fira Code Regular Nerd Font Complete.ttf, and download it (right click should have an option)
  2. Add it to your system (probably by double clicking the font file)
  3. Set it as the font for your terminal (depends on your terminal, might need to enable font ligatures)

Specify Symbols

Choose your symbols by assigning to the variables HEADLINE_USER_PREFIX, HEADLINE_HOST_PREFIX, HEADLINE_PATH_PREFIX, and HEADLINE_BRANCH_PREFIX. You can do this in your ~/.zshrc after the theme has been sourced, or in the theme file itself. The symbols I used are in comments in the theme file, but you will only see them properly once your font is installed.


Colors

The colors of the theme are customized with ANSI SGR codes (see Customization), but it's worth noting that your terminal ultimately decides the exact color each code represents. Also, the background and cursor colors are set by the terminal.

iTerm2

The iTerm2 color schemes I use (featured in the screenshots) are available here.
