User Segments

Did you come up with a cool segment that isn't yet ready to contribute to the the powerlevel9k codebase, but that you still want to share? Put them here!

TaskWarrior Segment

This segment came from #455, and has the neat functionality of updating a multi-line segment based on the TaskWarrior status.

Current iTunes(OSX) / Spotify(Ubuntu) Track

This segment reads the current Artist and Track from iTunes via osascript or fetches the data from Spotify using sp, a command line client by Wandernauta for Spotify on dbus

Create a .nowplaying file in your $HOME folder and make it executable with chmod +x

If you are using Spotify on Ubuntu/Debian (or probably any other Linux distribution using dbus) download the sp script and make it executable

wget -O $HOME/sp https://gist.githubusercontent.com/wandernauta/6800547/raw/2c2ad0f3849b1b1cd1116b80718d986f1c1e7966/sp
chmod +x $HOME/sp

Add the following code to this file

#! /bin/bash
if [ "$(uname)" = "Darwin" ]; then
  echo "\uF001 $(osascript -e 'tell application "iTunes" to if player state is playing then artist of current track & " - " & name of current track')"
else
  echo "\uF001 $(~/.dotfiles/bin/sp current | sed '3q;d' | awk '{$1=""; print $0}' | sed 's/^ *//g' | sed 's/ *$//g') - $(~/.dotfiles/bin/sp current | sed '4q;d' | awk '{$1=""; print $0}' | sed 's/^ *//g' | sed 's/ *$//g')"
fi

In your .zshrc add the following code

POWERLEVEL9K_CUSTOM_NOW_PLAYING='~/.nowplaying'
POWERLEVEL9K_CUSTOM_NOW_PLAYING_BACKGROUND='blue'
POWERLEVEL9K_CUSTOM_NOW_PLAYING_FOREGROUND='black'

Now you can add this segment as custom_now_playing to your prompt
