I don't know about the clock, but the colors can be manipulated through the Properties dialog of PowerShell

This site talks about the "new" Terminal tab which includes experimental features, https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/new-experimental-console-features/ so it could have been something that was there and then removed, or some other trick is needed to get the Clock prefix.

Thanks. I think you are talking about CMD/PowerShell, not the (Windows) Terminal. The Terminal doesn't have such right-click menu, it has a "Settings", and by clicking on it, it goes to the Terminal setting page that has nothing about the feature.

Thanks. I'm not a power user of the command line. I use it for some CLI apps (like FFMPEG). I love this theme. Could you help me to make my Terminal prompt like the original SS above (from NeoWin)? I can add the clock by this command: prompt $T$H$H$H$S$P$. I know nothing more!

On PowerShell you can define a "prompt" function to do that kind of thing but the OP is using the command shell.

EDIT: Just realised it was a Neowin screenshot and not OP's actual shell. Oh My Posh is good advice.

It's (Windows) Terminal. The SS is about Terminal version 1.17 (NeoWin blog post).

all the ones you see are from oh-my-post, there is even articles on MS's site on how to set it up

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/terminal/tutorials/custom-prompt-setup

I now notice that it is CMD this is being used and not Powershell.

There is a way to modify the CMD prompt;

prompt | Microsoft Learn

Try this in cmd;

prompt $c$t$f$g$p$g

I didn't get it exactly the same as in your screen shot. Still trying to get the last piece.

Ok. Got it.

prompt $c$t$f$g$p$g$_%username%@%computername%$g

@Spannercrank Many thanks. Yours is closer to the Neowin SS. I think I have to ask the post author, but I don't know if he is here (in this forum)!

@Spannercrank Cool 🤩. Did you find out anything about the highlight (white on the clock and aqua in the username)?

Oh God!!! You are a genius 😍👏🏻... Many many thanks. You would be God if you find out the aqua colour and the brackets code. Thanks... 👍🏻

You can get the aqua colour with a 24 bit colour code:

prompt $e[30m$e[47m$c$t$f$e[37m$e[48;2;0;128;128m$g$p$e[38;2;0;128;128m$e[40m$g$e[96m$_%username%$e[37m@$e[32m%computername%$e[37m$g

The 24 bit version of the background colour change is the following bit. You can adjust the RGB values (Red 0, Green 128, Blue 128 in the examples above) from 0 to 255 to fine tune it. Substitute "48" with "38" to change the foreground colour instead of the background colour.

$e[48;2;0;128;128m

I was wondering why I could not get the color right. Thanks.

Here is the final version with the square brackets;

prompt $e[30m$e[47m[$t]$e[37m$e[48;2;0;128;128m$g$p$e[38;2;0;128;128m$e[40m$g$e[96m$_%username%$e[37m@$e[32m%computername%$e[37m$g

Many many many thanks 🥳👍🏻👌🏻. I removed "%username%" and "%computername%" but it didn't remove the second line. Do you know how we can remove it?

From the end of the prompt line remove up to and including the $_.

So you should have;

prompt $e[30m$e[47m[$t]$e[37m$e[48;2;0;128;128m$g$p$e[38;2;0;128;128m$e[40m$g$e[96m

@Spannercrank Thanks 👍🏻. My last question. I see the command text and background colour I type is changing to a new colour (Aqua text on Black Background). Should it be there, or can I change it to the default (Terminal's default colours)?

For that you need to put the colour reset code on the end:

prompt $e[30m$e[47m[$t]$e[37m$e[48;2;0;128;128m$g$p$e[38;2;0;128;128m$e[40m$g$e[96m$e[0m

    • Yes while it's still a great browser it seems bloated more with each update by things I'm not the least interested in
    • We now know why Nvidia blocked yet another review, the new RTX 5050 is apparently terrible by Sayan Sen With its latest RTX 5000 series of GPUs, Nvidia has not been transparent with how its cards perform. The company did not ship review drivers for the RTX 5060 on launch day and has repeated the same deed with the new RTX 5050 as well. For those who may not have followed, Nvidia unveiled the GeForce RTX 5050 last month for $249 and released the Game Ready driver for the card this month with version 576.88. As such, the RTX 5050 has now been tested by Korean site Quasar Zone where the GPU has been compared against other cards that are priced around that same bracket. The site has found that Nvidia's new entry-level offering is worse than Intel's Arc B580, a card that launched around six months ago for the same price. As you can see in the image above, the Arc B580 was slightly faster on average. The biggest gap between the two was on Path of Exile 2. Another point in favor of the Arc GPU is that it has 12 Gigs of video memory whereas the RTX 5050 only has 8 GB. The 5050 was also pitted against Nvidia's last gen RTX 4060 as well as AMD's RX 7600, both of which are also 8 Gig cards. The 7600 is often found at around $250 these days while the RTX 4060 frequents around $275. The RTX 5050 is essentially neck and neck with the 4060 and is ever so slightly faster than the RX 7600. Once again this just highlights that Nvidia is essentially giving the same kind of performance that Intel and AMD GPUs have provided since last year or so. In fact, if we consider the Radeon RX 6600 and 6650 XT GPUs, which have been available for around $180 to $220 in the past, it becomes clearer just how bad of a value the RTX 5050 is as those 6000 series AMD cards probably get pretty close to the 5050 in rasterization throughput. Chances of something like "Fine Wine" are also slim given that the RTX 5050 just does not seem to have the hardware resources to pull off something like that later in this lifespan. If anything, we are more likely to see that happen from the Intel B580 GPU or AMD's $299 RX 9060 (there is already evidence of that). Source and images: Quasar Zone
