Can't change theme of ZSH in Ubuntu 12.04
7,488
I had same issue and went through various files in home folder. And found following instruction in ~/.profile
# ~/.profile: executed by the command interpreter for login shells.
# This file is not read by bash(1), if ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login
# exists.
# see /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files for examples.
# the files are located in the bash-doc package.
I added necessary changes in .bash_login instead So it seems that you may have to remove .bash_profile if its present or make these changes to .bash_login or point to to source as .bashrc in .bash_login
source ~/.bashrc

I have changed the theme in my
~/.zshrc
file however whilst some of the colors in the prompt change the text size and background color remain as the Ubuntu default. Any one know how I can override this to make my terminal purse ZSH with the correct theme. My.bashrc
looks like this# ~/.bashrc: executed by bash(1) for non-login shells. # see /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files (in the package bash-doc) # for examples # If not running interactively, don't do anything [ -z "$PS1" ] && return # don't put duplicate lines or lines starting with space in the history. # See bash(1) for more options HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth # append to the history file, don't overwrite it shopt -s histappend # for setting history length see HISTSIZE and HISTFILESIZE in bash(1) HISTSIZE=1000 HISTFILESIZE=2000 # check the window size after each command and, if necessary, # update the values of LINES and COLUMNS. shopt -s checkwinsize # If set, the pattern "**" used in a pathname expansion context will # match all files and zero or more directories and subdirectories. #shopt -s globstar # make less more friendly for non-text input files, see lesspipe(1) [ -x /usr/bin/lesspipe ] && eval "$(SHELL=/bin/sh lesspipe)" # set variable identifying the chroot you work in (used in the prompt below) if [ -z "$debian_chroot" ] && [ -r /etc/debian_chroot ]; then debian_chroot=$(cat /etc/debian_chroot) fi # set a fancy prompt (non-color, unless we know we "want" color) case "$TERM" in xterm-color) color_prompt=yes;; esac # uncomment for a colored prompt, if the terminal has the capability; turned # off by default to not distract the user: the focus in a terminal window # should be on the output of commands, not on the prompt #force_color_prompt=yes if [ -n "$force_color_prompt" ]; then if [ -x /usr/bin/tput ] && tput setaf 1 >&/dev/null; then # We have color support; assume it's compliant with Ecma-48 # (ISO/IEC-6429).

And my
.zshrc
looks like this:# Path to your oh-my-zsh configuration. ZSH=$HOME/.oh-my-zsh # Set name of the theme to load. # Look in ~/.oh-my-zsh/themes/ # Optionally, if you set this to "random", it'll load a random theme each # time that oh-my-zsh is loaded.

Any help much appreciated!

Admin almost 12 yearsIs the new theme loaded if you run
source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh
from the command line? -
Admin about 10 yearsIf @pconley's note helped, you might try using the default .zshrc; you can get it by using the install script here.
