Banish boring terminal windows with Bashish

“Swedish student Thomas Eriksson says a lot of advanced computer
usage is still best done from the terminal. Given that, he’s
developed Bashish to provide a more useful and beautiful terminal
environment.

“Bashish is a theme engine for the console, providing themes
with different colors, fonts, and cool-looking graphics. The name
Bashish is a play on bash (the Bourne Again SHell), the hash symbol
(# – the root indicator in bash and tcsh), and hashish. Think of it
as an addictive terminal theme utility. But it’s not just eye
candy – Bashish can also provide useful visual feedback. For
instance, it can change colors, font, transparency, and background
image on a per-application basis.”
