Struggling with conditional diamond for rprompt

[mu88]

Hi 👋🏻

First of all, thank you for this amazing project and your work!

I'm having trouble with configuring the right side (rprompt) of my OMP profile. My goals are the following:

1. Use \ue0b6 as the leading diamond for the time segment if not in a .NET folder.
2. Use \ue0b2 as a delimiter between the .NET and time segment if in a .NET folder.

Please see my following attempts regarding goal 2, whereas I've no idea yet how to fulfill goal 1.

Attempt 1

Config:

      "segments": [
        {
          "type": "dotnet",
          "style": "diamond",
          "leading_diamond": "\ue0b6",
          "trailing_diamond": "\ue0b2",
          "foreground": "#ffffff",
          "background": "#6CA35E",
          "template": "  {{ .Full }} "
        },
        {
          "background": "#2e9599",
          "foreground": "#111111",
          "leading_diamond": "\ue0b6",
          "properties": {
            "time_format": "_2, 15:04:05"
          },
          "style": "diamond",
          "template": " \uf073 {{ .CurrentDate | date .Format }} ",
          "trailing_diamond": "\ue0b4",
          "type": "time"
        }
      ],
      "type": "rprompt"

This is what you need:

"segments": [
  {
    "type": "dotnet",
    "style": "diamond",
    "leading_diamond": "\ue0b6",
    "foreground": "#ffffff",
    "background": "#6CA35E",
    "template": "  {{ .Full }} "
  },
  {
    "background": "#2e9599",
    "foreground": "#111111",
    "properties": {
      "time_format": "_2, 15:04:05"
    },
    "style": "diamond",
    "template": " \uf073 {{ .CurrentDate | date .Format }} ",
    "leading_diamond": "<background,parentBackground>\ue0b6</>",
    "trailing_diamond": "\ue0b4",
    "type": "time"
  }
],
"type": "rprompt"

Thank you very much for your help, @JanDeDobbeleer ! However, that's not exactly what I'm looking for :) Let my express my requirements again:

1. Use \ue0b6 as the leading diamond for the time segment if not in a .NET folder.
2. Use \ue0b2 as a delimiter between the .NET and time segment if in a .NET folder.

If I use your proposed config, it looks like this:

• .NET folder:
  
• Not a .NET folder:
  

As you can see in screenshot 2, on the left side of \ue0b6 there is a non-transparent background. For screenshot 1, \ue0b6 is used instead of \ue0b2 as the delimiter between the two segments.

@mu88 before I continue, is your oh-my-posh up-to-date?

[mu88]

I'm on 19.8.2, so yes, it's up-to-date

[JanDeDobbeleer]

@mu88 I don't have the behaviour from the second screenshot BTW. That said, this is a very advanced question, but it can be achieved using a plain segment instead of diamond for the time segment:

"style": "plain",
"template": "{{ if .Segments.Contains \"Dotnet\" }}<background,parentBackground>\ue0b2{{ else }}<background,transparent>\ue0b6{{ end }}</> world <background,transparent>\ue0b4</>"

Wow, thx a lot! Just for the sake of completeness, here's the full JSON:

    {
      "segments": [
        {
          "type": "dotnet",
          "style": "diamond",
          "leading_diamond": "\ue0b6",
          "foreground": "#ffffff",
          "background": "#6CA35E",
          "template": "  {{ .Full }} "
        },
        {
          "background": "#2e9599",
          "foreground": "#111111",
          "properties": {
            "time_format": "_2, 15:04:05"
          },
          "style": "plain",
          "template": "{{ if .Segments.Contains \"Dotnet\" }}<background,parentBackground>\ue0b2{{ else }}<background,transparent>\ue0b6{{ end }}</> \uf073 {{ .CurrentDate | date .Format }} <background,transparent>\ue0b4</>",
          "type": "time"
        }
      ],
      "type": "rprompt"
    }
