Very cool!

Feature suggestion: It would be great to be able to change the colors of the individual components a la https://github.com/twolfson/sexy-bash-prompt

Seconded. The basic layout of $PS1 is straightforward enough, but it's the ugly colour escapes that always hurt maintainability of mine at least. :)

Agree. I colorize the hostname in my prompts so it's easy to tell which system/VM I'm on.
