Question 1

How do I install the Lambda Mod ZSH theme?

Accepted Answer

Typically, you clone the repository and source it in your .zshrc file, or use it with oh-my-zsh by placing it in the themes directory. Refer to the README for basic setup, but detailed steps may require external guides.

Question 2

What's the difference between Lambda Mod and Powerlevel10k?

Accepted Answer

Lambda Mod is minimalist and focused on Git and directory info with Unicode support, while Powerlevel10k is feature-rich with extensive customization, performance optimizations, and additional elements like time stamps and system stats.

Question 3

Why are Unicode symbols not showing up in my terminal with this theme?

Accepted Answer

This usually indicates missing Unicode-compatible fonts or terminal emulator settings. Install fonts like Nerd Fonts or adjust your terminal to support Unicode, as the theme relies on this for symbol display.

Question 4

Can I change the colors in Lambda Mod ZSH theme?

Accepted Answer

No, the theme does not provide built-in color customization options. You'd need to modify the theme source code directly or use external ZSH configuration to override colors, which can be complex.

Question 5

Is Lambda Mod compatible with oh-my-zsh?

Accepted Answer

Yes, based on the configuration snippet in the README, it can be loaded with oh-my-zsh by setting the theme in your .zshrc, but ensure proper file placement and environment variables are set.

Question 6

How to show more than three directory levels in the prompt?

Accepted Answer

Set the LAMBDA_MOD_N_DIR_LEVELS environment variable in your .zshrc to a higher number, as shown in the README example, to control how many parent directories are displayed.
