The shell prompt appearance conception called Bar.

Bar theme

Features:

• It looks not like Christmas tree. Most of themes (omz examples) look like Christmas garland and frustrate attention 🎄 💈. But terminal is most for write commands and get output, not for color juggling 🖥

• It has three attention aspects by priority: first - command and path, second - output, third - pills/sections 👓

• It has a bar along all space and it is a great separator ⬛️

• The command beginning has fixed position and command has color with intensity. It's great for reading and typing 💚

• The pills/sections placed to right but not in RPROMPT and it allows you to secure copy the command and output without environmental disclosure 🔒

• The pills/sections can have additional background or color accent if you need 💊
