Layout

Two lines, three zones:

╭─  ~ / path    main  ≡   2    1                          3.2s  83%   CPU: 12% | RAM: 4/16GB      3:04 PM
╰─❯$

• Left: OS → path → git → language runtimes (cmake, python, java as applicable)
• Right: execution time → battery → CPU / RAM → clock
• Second line: ╰─❯$, teal when the last command succeeded, red when it exited non-zero

Palette

Foundation — chrome grays

Warm-neutral grays that stay readable against any segment foreground. Matches the Slatewave VSCode theme's editor/sidebar scale so prompt and editor feel continuous.

Installation

Clone + point your shell at it

git clone https://github.com/kevinlangleyjr/slatewave-omp.git \
  ~/.config/oh-my-posh/slatewave-omp

Then add to your shell init:

zsh (~/.zshrc):

eval "$(oh-my-posh init zsh --config ~/.config/oh-my-posh/slatewave-omp/slatewave.omp.yml)"

bash (~/.bashrc):

eval "$(oh-my-posh init bash --config ~/.config/oh-my-posh/slatewave-omp/slatewave.omp.yml)"

fish (~/.config/fish/config.fish):

oh-my-posh init fish --config ~/.config/oh-my-posh/slatewave-omp/slatewave.omp.yml | source

Reload the shell (exec zsh) — you should see the new prompt immediately.

Direct download (no clone)

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kevinlangleyjr/slatewave-omp/main/slatewave.omp.yml \
  -o ~/.config/oh-my-posh/slatewave.omp.yml

Customize

The prompt is a single YAML file — tweak segments, icons, and colors in place. Common edits:

• Change the clock format (12h → 24h): time_format: "15:04" on the time segment
• Swap the branch glyph: change powerline_symbol or leading_diamond on the git segment
• Hide a segment: delete the object, or gate it with properties.home_enabled: false
• Add a segment: append to blocks[].segments[] — see the oh-my-posh segment reference

After editing, exec zsh (or open a new pane) to reload.
