Custom Bash Prompt

## Add custom command prompt
# Fill with minuses
# (this is recalculated every time the prompt is shown in function prompt_command):
fill="--- "

status_style=$reset_style'\[\033[0;90m\]' # gray color; use 0;37m for lighter color
prompt_style=$reset_style
#command_style=$reset_style'\[\033[1;29m\]' # bold black
# Prompt variable:
PS1="$status_style"'$fill \t\n'"$prompt_style"'${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u@\h:\w\$'"$command_style "
# Reset color for command output
# (this one is invoked every time before a command is executed):
trap 'echo -ne ' DEBUG
function prompt_command {
# create a $fill of all screen width minus the time string and a space:
let fillsize=${COLUMNS}-9
fill=""

let fillsize=${fillsize}-1
done
# If this is an xterm set the title to user@host:dir
