Configurations

This theme reads the configurations from zstyle. All context name must be prefixed with :prompt:clover:. Styles are always configurable, and for some components you could also customized the symbols.

Here's a disgram that shows context names:

   ┌---------------------------------------------------------------------- user
   |    ┌----------------------------------------------------------------- host
   |    |         ┌------------------------------------------------------- path
   |    |         |                   ┌----------------------------------- vcs:branch
   |    |         |                   |    ┌------------------------------ vcs:status (read details below)
   |    |         |                   |    |          ┌------------------- execution-time
   |    |         |                   |    |          |    ┌-------------- current-time
#  user@hostname: ~/clover.zsh-theme <main ✔⇡>        10s (12:00:00 +0800)
(.venv) 🍀
 |      └----------------------------------------------------------------- prompt
 └------------------------------------------------------------------------ virtualenv

Note

VCS information (:prompt:clover:vcs:*) are evaluated in background process, which is forked in first precmd run. Runtime zstyle settings will not take effect. But you could still change the style in .zshrc.

Styles

Run zstyle command with the key style. And the value could be the visual effect expresssion in zsh prompt expansion.

An example of setting the path to bold cyan:

zstyle :prompt:clover:path style '%B%F{cyan}'

Symbols

Use key symbol for customization.

For example, setting default prompt symbol to $:

zstyle :prompt:clover:prompt:default symbol '$'
