Shiny, Happy Linux OS Terminals With Bashish

"In the mood for a bit more color in your life? Check out Bashish to try out themes for your terminal.

"I installed from source due to problems with the Debian repository; if doing this, note that you'll need to install the dialog package manually via apt-get. Once you've run ./configure; make; sudo make install, run bashish to get things set up properly. Then restart a terminal to get the default theme.

"bashish list shows the theme list and bashish THEMENAME switches theme. Try elite for a multi-line prompt, moan for something more basic, or flowerpower for a floral look!"
