These are documented +in the generators' sections below. + +### Theme files + +Themes are also stored using Perl hashes. The file containing a theme `x` should +be named `x.pm` and located in one of the configured theme directories. + +The following entries are used by the script's core : + +* `padding` must contain a single character which is used for padding the top + line's middle area, amongst other things. +* `transition` may contain a list of up to 8 color indices which can be used + when generating transition strings from templates. +* 5 entries control each section's appearance. + * The sections are identified by `left`, `middle`, `right` and `input` (top + left, top middle, top right and bottom left, respectively). + * Each section uses the following entries (replacing `${section}` with a + section's identifier): + * `bg_${section}` is the index of the background color of the section. + * `fg_${section}` is the index of the foreground color of the section. + * `${section}_prefix` is the template for the prefix of the section. + * `${section}_separator` is the template for the separator that is inserted + between generated areas in the section. + * `${section}_suffix` is the template for the suffix of the section. +* `bg_ps2` is the index of the background color of the secondary prompt. +* `ps2_suffix` is the template for the suffix of the secondary prompt. + +Templates are strings which may contain `\bX` and `\fX` escape sequences, where +`X` is a single digit, and which modify the background or foreground colors, +respectively. Values `0` and `1` correspond to the preceding and following +background color indices, while values between `2` and `9` will refer to the +contents of the `transition` list. + +In addition to the entries above, theme definitions contain entries that are +specific to the various generators. These entries are documented below. When +the generator-specific entries list color indices, the special `-1` value may +be used to indicate that the current area's foreground or background color +should be used. + +## Generators + +### Current working directory + +The `cwd` generator will output the current working directory. Its only +configuration variable, `cwd_max_width`, indicates the maximal percentage of the +terminal's width that the path may occupy before truncation occurs. The +following theme entries are required: + +* `cwd_trunc` is the string that replaces the part of the path that is truncated + when it is too long compared to the terminal's width. +* `cwd_fg_color` and `cwd_bg_color` are the foreground and background color + indices for the section. + +### Date/time + +The `datetime` generator will output the current date, the current time, or +both. It is controlled by the following configuration entries: + +* `dt_show_date` controls whether the date should be displayed. +* `dt_show_time` controls whether the time should be displayed. +* `dt_date_fmt` is a `strftime` format that will be used for the date. +* `dt_time_fmt` is a `strftime` format that will be used for the date. + +In addition, the following entries must be set in the theme: + +* `dt_bg` is the background color for the section. +* `dt_time_fg` is the foreground color for the time. +* `dt_date_fg` is the foreground color for the date. + +### Git information + +The `git` generator is meant to display information about the Git repository the +current directory is a part of. It is controlled by the following configuration +entries: + +* `git_branch_danger` is a list of branch names that will cause the current + branch to be displayed with the "danger" color set. +* `git_branch_warn` is a list of branch names that will cause the current branch + to be displayed with the "warning" color set. +* `git_detached_warning` controls the color set that will be used when the head + is detached: `0` for the normal set, `1` for the "warning" set and `2` for the + "danger" set. +* `git_show_status` controls whether the status of the current repository should + be displayed. +* `git_show_stash` controls whether the stash depth should be displayed. + +The theme entries belowed control the Git information sections' appearance: + +* `git_branch_symbol` is the prefix for the current branch's name. +* The color sets for the branch display section are controlled by entries named + `git_branch_${set}_fg` and `git_branch_${set}_bg`. The `${set}` must be one of + `ok`, `warn` or `danger`. +* `git_repstate_bg` / `git_repstate_fg` are the colors of the section that + indicates special states (e.g. rebase in progress, bare repository...) +* `git_status_pad` is a string that will be inserted between the various parts + of the status sections. +* Two sets of entries control the sections that correspond to untracked and + indexed changes. These sections are identified by replacing `${type}` with + either `untracked` and `indexed` in the names below. + * `git_${type}_symbol` is the prefix for the section's text, + * `git_${type}_bg` is the background color for the section, + * `git_${type}_normal_fg` is the foreground color for the normal text in the + section, + * `git_${type}_add_fg`, `git_${type}_mod_fg` and `git_${type}_del_fg` define + the foreground colors for the symbols that indicate new, modified or removed + files, respectively. +* `git_add_symbol`, `git_mod_symbol` and `git_del_symbol` define the symbols + that indicate new, modified or deleted files in the status sections. +* `git_stash_symbol` contains the prefix of the stash indicator, +* `git_stash_fg` and `git_stash_fg` define the background and foreground colors + for the stash indicator. + +### System load + +The `load` generator will output the system's load average for the past minute +divided by the host's processor count. It is controlled by the `load_min` +configuration entry which specifies a percentage below which the section is not +displayed at all. The following theme entries are required: + +* `load_title` is a string that is prepended to the generator's output. +* `load_low_fg` and `load_low_bg` are the foreground and background colors used + when the load is beneath 34%. +* `load_med_fg` and `load_med_bg` are the foreground and background colors used + when the load is between 34% and 66%. +* `load_high_fg` and `load_high_bg` are the foreground and background colors + used when the load is higher than 66%. + +### Previous command state + +The `prevcmd` generator will output information about the previous command's +return value. It is controlled by the following configuration entries: + +* `pcmd_show_symbol` controls whether a symbol that represents success or + failure should be displayed. +* `pcmd_show_code` controls whether the return value should be displayed. It + can be set to the usual `0` and `1` values to disable/enable, or to `2` to + enable only when the return value indicates failure. +* `pcmd_pad_code` controls padding of the return value. `0` disables padding, + `1` aligns to the left and `-1` to the right. The global padding character + is used. +* `pcmd_colors` selects which parts of the output should use the theme's success + or failure colors (`0` nothing, `1` symbol, `2` value, `3` both). + +The following theme entries are needed: + +* `pcmd_ok_sym` / `pcmd_err_sym` contain the symbols that represent success or + failure, respectively. +* `pcmd_ok_fg` and `pcmd_ok_bg` define the foreground and background colors used + to represent success. The foreground color may or may not be used, depending + on the configuration. +* `pcmd_err_fg` and `pcmd_err_bg` define the foreground and background colors + used to represent failure. The foreground color may or may not be used, + depending on the configuration. +* `pcmd_text_fg` controls the foreground color of the strings that are excluded + from using success/failure colors by the configuration. + +### Python virtual environment + +The `pyenv` generator will output the name of the currently active Python +virtual environment if there is one. The following theme entries are needed: + +* `pyenv_fg` and `pyenv_bg` define the foreground and background colors for the + section. + +### User/host + +The `userhost` generator will output the current user and host name. It is +controlled by the following configuration entries: + +* `uh_username` controls whether the user name should be displayed. +* `uh_hostname` controls whether the host name should be displayed. It can be + set to `0` (hidden), `1` (always display) or `2` (display on remote hosts + only). +* `uh_remote` can be set to `1` in order to display an additional string on + remote hosts. + +In addition, the following entries must be set in the theme: + +* `uh_remote_symbol` is the string to append to the section on remote hosts. +* `dt_user_fg` and `dt_user_bg` contain the foreground and background colors + to use for normal, unprivileged users. +* `dt_root_fg` and `dt_root_bg` contain the foreground and background colors + to use for the `root` account.
