README
## Bar theme
Features:
* It looks not like Christmas tree. Most of themes ([omz examples](https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/wiki/Themes)) look like Christmas garland and frustrate attention 🎄 💈. But terminal is most for write commands and get output, not for color juggling 🖥
* It has three attention aspects by priority: first - command and path, second - output, third - pills/sections 👓
* It has a bar along all space and it is a great separator ⬛️
* The command beginning has fixed position and command has color with intensity. It's great for reading and typing 💚
* The pills/sections placed to right but not in RPROMPT and it allows you to secure copy the command and output without environmental disclosure 🔒
* The pills/sections can have additional background or color accent if you need 💊

2. Also you can try the proof of concept config [p10k-bar.zsh](https://gist.github.com/romkatv/7f48d0deae7a3449f34a4870feaba0f5). It work but not recommended because it disable many `p10k` features.
