Theme compatibility

Bashish is compatible with ordinary bash prompts and also introduces it's own generated themes with the .bt extension.

Zshprompt can co-exist with bashish, just set the theme to none and use zsh's own prompt loading functions (you still get themed applications)

Unfortually prompts from the old BashPrompt project will not work in bashish unless modified, here is a code example of such a prompt:

function foobar ()

{

PS1=foobar

}

To make the BashPrompt prompt work in bashish, add the prompt function name after the function

function foobar ()

{

PS1=foobar

}

foobar

unset -f foobar

The Bash Prompt HOWTO (see 8) by Giles Orr describes creating BashPrompt(see 8) prompts.

Note that bashish makes some things in the HOWTO redunant (eg. title changing, see 6.1.6), and also is incompatible with the use of a theme function.
