My configuration for xonsh. I found myself needing $PROMPT to look different
so I remember I'm using an enhanced shell.
It's sort of a Powerline rip-off. There is a version of Powerline for xonsh , but I only wanted the highlighted background, not any of the other fancy features. I used the fonts to achieve the clean transitions though.
I've noticed that the fonts look good in Yakuake, but there is a kerning issue with the Powerline patched characters in konsole that causes them to overlap.
