BASHISH
[cannabash zshativa]

the modular theme engine for bourne style shells

themability - Different themes can easilly be created/downloaded and loaded in bashish. Theme the title in Xterms without the need of having different themes for console, telnet or X. By the way, say bye-bye to those freakin' escape sequencies (offcourse if you like those cryptic critters, it's possible to use them anyway). More than 90 themes is included, and more to come :).
(multi-)userability - BASHISH is quite easy to install: just add a single line at the bottom of your startup file (eg. profile, bashrc or zshrc), a theme can easily changed by spawning the 'changetheme' command followed by the theme-name. The themes is sorted in subdirectories and there is no need to write the whole path (offcourse, once again, if you have a passion for printing long cryptic commands in the console you can specify the whole or partially path).
It's possible to have BASHISH located in a shared directory while only having the configfiles in the home directory.
scalability - A modular structure to gain speed and to select only wanted features.
portability - BASHISH is written in high level POSIX-shell scripting and aims to run on all POSIX standard compatible shells
Bashish also introduces a new theme format that should run unmodified on all supported shells (this is not needed though). Bashish can (more or less) run on all operating systems with a POSIX-compatible shell and the standard POSIX-shell utillities (such as echo, cut, sed etc.), it even run on win32.
countability - It's possible to embed the number of current console in your theme.
configuratibility - BASHISH have a - easy to configure - XMP (the extended module player)-config like system capable of calling others configfiles.
compatibility - bashish was NOT first, thats for sure, this is why a backwards compatibility module supporting bashprompt is written, also a shellscript emulating the bashprompt script is written so the bashprompt ncurses menu still can be used,
'changetheme' also supports the 'bashprompt' syntax.
