I have noticed on Fedora, the cli prompt itself is not colourful although the

Since this is not a Qubes-specific question, you might have better luck
searching the web for how to do this in Fedora (or Linux in general) or asking
in a Fedora (or general Linux) venue.
I wonder if this *is* Qubes specific, as it is stated that the Debian
prompt is in color. (Implicit, I think, is the suggestion that the color
matches the window decorations.)
OP - is that what you see? That the prompt is consistent with the window
decoration set by Qubes?
No the colour of the prompt does not follow the window decoration, I was
wondering if this isn't maybe a problem only on Fedora on Qubes and not
Fedora in general. I don't have a Fedora standalone I can check on. I
just found it odd that the prompt on Debian would be in colour (Green,
and it is real easy to find in between a lot of other output) and on
Fedora it is the same colour as the text you type. But as I was
re-reading my reply here I just had another look over and I just
discovered that the prompt on some of the Fedora VMs is in colour, also
a bright green, and some of them are default text colour. So in essense
it doesn't have anything to do with Qubes. I am a little confused though
because I can swear some of the VMs that I previously check where the
prompt was the default text colour now has a colourful prompt. (head
scratch head scratch)
I do see this in .bashrc on Debian and there is nothing of it in .bashrc
on Fedora. There is in fact a lot of stuff in .bashrc on Debian that is
not there on Fedora.
.bashrc
===truncated===
# set a fancy prompt (non-color, unless we know we "want" color)
case "$TERM" in
xterm-color|*-256color) color_prompt=yes;;
esac
# uncomment for a colored prompt, if the terminal has the capability; turned
# off by default to not distract the user: the focus in a terminal window
# should be on the output of commands, not on the prompt
#force_color_prompt=yes
if [ -n "$force_color_prompt" ]; then
if [ -x /usr/bin/tput ] && tput setaf 1 >&/dev/null; then
# We have color support; assume it's compliant with Ecma-48
# (ISO/IEC-6429). (Lack of such support is extremely rare, and such
# a case would tend to support setf rather than setaf.)
color_prompt=yes
else
color_prompt=
fi
fi
===truncated===
I have copied it over to .bashrc on Fedora and uncommented
`force_color_prompt=yes` but it makes no difference.
