How can I change PS1 in zsh to show the current directory in addition to the path?

Question

On macOS 13.1 (22C65) and using zsh in iTerm2 I'm trying to customize my shell.

I've made decent progress with my POWERLEVEL9K_DIR_CLASSES:

• the path is white
• all my BACGROUNDS are dark

I hope to specify a dir with a light BACKGROUND and so set a black FOREGROUND, but it only changed the icon and seperator color, not the text color, see below:

typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_DIR_CLASSES=(
       '~/work(|/*)'               WORK      ''
       '~/Projets/Android(|/*)'    ANDROID   ''
       '~/Projets(|/*)'            PROJETS   ''

base 1 :

typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_DIR_PROJETS_BACKGROUND=160

result :

problem :

typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_DIR_ANDROID_BACKGROUND=148
typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_DIR_ANDROID_FOREGROUND=232

the result : (all text should be black)

I don't know what I'm missing and why this behaves like that ?

Answer 1

to change the color of the actual path as well, you also have to set SHORTENED_FOREGROUND and ANCHOR_FOREGROUNDbecause p10k uses shortened and anchor fallback:

typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_DIR_[DIR_NAME]_SHORTENED_FOREGROUND=[color]  
typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_DIR_[DIR_NAME]_ANCHOR_FOREGROUND=[color]

In my case it would be :

typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_DIR_CLASSES=(
       '~/work(|/*)'               WORK      ''
       '~/Projets/Android(|/*)'    ANDROID   ''
       '~/Projets(|/*)'            PROJETS   ''
typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_DIR_ANDROID_BACKGROUND=148
typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_DIR_ANDROID_FOREGROUND=232
typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_DIR_ANDROID_SHORTENED_FOREGROUND=232

typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_DIR_ANDROID_ANCHOR_FOREGROUND=232
