Hey, This are my public dotfiles. They might not work for you, but feel free to steal from them. You will also need my vcprompt branch if you want to use my bash prompt: https://bitbucket.org/mitsuhiko/vcprompt This is what it looks like: Terminal: http://pocoo.org/~mitsuhiko/myterm.png Vim: http://pocoo.org/~mitsuhiko/myvim.png If you want fancy colors in the Terminal, you will need the SIMBL plugin (http://www.culater.net/software/SIMBL/SIMBL.php) as well as the TerminalColors plugin. I have a fork of it on github that is configured to compile for 32bit and 64bit and works for Snow Leopard (http://github.com/mitsuhiko/terminalcolours).
