I got a shiny new Arch VM up and running in order to configure everything exactly how I want it in a controlled environment before I dual boot my laptop. I consider myself a bash power user (and a bit of an OCD one at that), so I spend more time than I probably should tinkering with my prompt. What kind of cool stuff have you guys done with bash or zsh? Anything that's caught your eye around the internet but couldn't find a source for?
Here's my bash PS1 with the Operator Mono book suite in Xfce4 Terminal. I currently have a timestamp (duh), italicized user and host, gradient hostname and directory path, and a right aligned (which was a bitch to implement correctly) git branch tracker (green for clean tree, yellow + counter for inequal local/remote repos, red for dirty). If anyone wants the source for anything, just shoot me a PM.

It's often the outcasts, the iconoclasts ... those who have the least to lose because they
don't have much in the first place, who feel the new currents and ride them the farthest.
