Can I customize the font weight of path?

[minhincs]

I want my path to be blue and in bold font, I can achieve that in starship but in pure, I still hve no idea. Is that possible?

You could hack it via set color:

zstyle :prompt:pure:path color '}%B%F{red'

But without a way to terminate that %B with %b, the whole remainder will be bold too. 😂

To cover your bases you'd do:

zstyle :prompt:pure:git:branch color '}%b%F{242'
zstyle :prompt:pure:git:branch:cached color '}%b%F{red'
# same for execution time, maybe others
# prompt, either like this or via color
PROMPT="%b${PROMPT}"

Something we could do is to either allow options like:

zstyle :prompt:pure:path bold yes
zstyle :prompt:pure:path underline yes

Or perhaps a more general approach like:

zstyle :prompt:pure:path prefix '%B'
zstyle :prompt:pure:path suffix '%b'

Or a third/fourth option:

zstyle :prompt:pure:path transform my_prompt_pure_path_transformer

my_prompt_pure_transformer() {
	# tbd, modify and set return value
}

zstyle :prompt:pure parts_transformer my_prompt_pure_parts_transformer

my_prompt_pure_transformer() {
	# tbd, if part == path, modify and set return value
}
