Description: Theme environment for text terminals
Bashish is a theme enviroment for text terminals. It can
change colors, font, transparency, and background image
on a per-application basis. Additionally Bashish supports
prompt changing on common shells such as bash, zsh, and
tcsh.
.
The target audience for Bashish, are users who:
* Want a good looking prompt.
* Want to customize the appearance of terminal commands.
* Want informative titles based on the command arguments.
* Need different fonts for different applications - eg.
Chinese, Japanese, OEM Terminal fonts.
.
Compared to writing your own aliases for commands, Bashish
supports very complex customization options and does not
affect neither aliases/functions nor redirected commands.

Following are my reasons for some lintian overrides:
csh-considered-harmful
----------------------------------
Bashish includes quite a few lines of c-shell scripting (even more
than lintian[1] detects[2]) which is discouraged[3] by the
Debian policy.
The c-shell code in Bashish provides a prompt enviroment for csh and
tcsh - just as it provides prompts for bash, zsh, rc, fish and lsh.
So, removing the c-shell code would give quite a loss in functionality
for those who prefer to use the c-shell interactively without giving
benefits for code maintainance in Bashish.
For example, without the c-shell code, Bashish would not be able
to automatically load on c-shell, neither would themes be allowed
to contain prompts for c-shell.
As the author of Bashish I thus have decided not to remove[4] the
c-shell specific code from Bashish.

[2] location of c-shell code:
/usr/share/bashish/main/prompt/csh/*
/usr/share/bashish/bt/default/prompt.csh
/usr/share/bashish/bt/default/prompt.tcsh
/usr/share/bashish/bt/override/prompt.csh
/usr/share/bashish/bt/override/prompt.tcsh
and c-shell prompts contained in various themes.

[4] this is a decision based upon providing functionality, not
a technical one.
