Hi all and thank you for this great place to use and discuss Mint :D

Does anyone know how they did this to the terminal in the attached :?:
I would ask this on the Comfusion forums but its in Spanish and I can't figure out how to register.

Thanks penguin

HI all, OK got it solved:

GOTO your home folder/view/show hidden:

Open .bashrc

Paste this at the very bottom of the file:

PS1='\[\e[1m\]┌─[\[\033[0;47;30m\]User-Terminal\[\033[0;43;91m\]•\[\033[0;101;31m\]•\[\033[0;41;91m\]•\[\033[0;0m\]]──[$PWD] \n\[\e[1m\]└─[\$]\[\e[0m\] '

After that save and your command prompt will be glorified :D
