Simple colored bash prompt
The prompt color theme can be customized simply by setting
the PROMPT_COLOR envvar, and optionally PROMPT_DIR_COLOR.
For example PROMPT_COLOR='2;7' is dim inverse-video
and PROMPT_COLOR='1;33;53' is bright/bold yellow with overline.
PROMPT_DIR_COLOR similarly changes the color of the working directory,
which otherwise defaults to PROMPT_COLOR.
The prompt can be bracketed to look more like the traditional Fedora prompt
by setting PROMPT_BRACKETS.
Set prompt_color_force (before source'ing) to force usage/updating of color PS1:
by default it is only setup cautiously if $TERM ends in "color"
and PS1 is the fedora or bash default.
Also you can set PROMPT_ERROR if you want to append red error exit code to the prompt.
See /etc/profile.d/bash-color-prompt.sh for the actual script.
