I'd recommend spaceship prompt if you want an actively maintained prompt with similar features.

Wow, it is interesting how this project ties together the devops environment with the user interface. I feel this is higly domain dependent: As soon as I install this on my cluster system where http://modules.sourceforge.net/ is commonly used, it doesn't help me any more. Same with my home brewn environment based build system for my C++ project. Obviously, the spaceship-prompt needs support to be built for such environments.
This does not reduce the enormous efforts of the author to include all the different ecosystems, thought.

That's nice. I'm using https://github.com/bhilburn/powerlevel9k with zsh.

Mate, P9k is fantastic, thanks for developing it!
It's funny that despite the fact that GUIs with mice, menus and things have been around for a bloody long time: you can't beat a terminal prompt for many tasks. Mind you my terminals these days looks rather better than the twinax connected beasts of yesteryear that I looked after. I don't remember transparency options on those.
Have a look at https://github.com/nojhan/liquidprompt for more eye-candy for your prompt - it does look rather good and I've been using it on one machine for at least a year with no snags. However that project may be needing an active developer judging by the last commit and Issues.
