Customize Prompt Color for Pure Theme?

Question

I'm currently using the Pure theme for zsh, but the default blue is really dark. Is it possible to change only the blue (i.e. I don't want to install zsh-syntax-highlighting)?

Answer 1

1. change terminal profile open terminal
   • cmd + , show terminal profiles
   • change any [ansi colors] that you didnot like

if this is not effect, you need custom your theme

2. custom your theme

   • first find the dir

   echo $ZSH_CUSTOM

   • second build the theme file

   cd ~/.oh-my-zsh/custom mkdir themes mate themes/xxx.zsh-theme

   • third fix the ~/.zshrc file change theme:

   ZSH_THEME="xxx"

   • fourth open your xxx.zsh-theme, u can change anything.

   • maybe you need copy a sample: https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/tree/master/themes

   • about color u can get information from : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code

Answer 2

As the color is set via %F{blue} inside the theme the exact color used for blue is set in your terminal (most probably).

So to change this color you need to check how to configure those colors for your terminal.
