How to: What is the best prompt style in the configuration wizard?
There are as many opinions on what constitutes the best prompt as there are people. It mostly comes
down to personal preference. There are, however, a few hidden implications of different choices.

Pure style is an exact replication of [Pure Zsh theme](https://github.com/sindresorhus/pure). It
exists to ease the migration for users of this theme. Unless you are one of them, choose Lean
style over Pure.

If you want to confine prompt colors to the selected terminal color palette (say, *Solarized Dark*),
use *Rainbow*, *Lean* → *8 colors* or *Pure* → *Original*. Other styles use fixed colors and thus
look the same in any terminal color palette.

All styles except Pure have an option to use *ASCII* charset. Prompt will look less pretty but will
render correctly with all fonts and in all locales.

If you enable transient prompt, take advantage of two-line prompt. You'll get the benefit of
extra space for typing commands without the usual drawback of reduced scrollback density. Having
all commands start from the same offset is also nice.

Similarly, if you enable transient prompt, sparse prompt (with an empty line before prompt) is a
great choice.

If you are using vi keymap, choose prompt with `prompt_char` in it (shown as green `❯` in the
wizard). This symbol changes depending on vi mode: `❯`, `❮`, `V`, `▶` for insert, command, visual
and replace mode respectively. When a command fails, the symbol turns red. *Lean* style always has
`prompt_char` in it. *Rainbow* and *Classic* styles have it only in the two-line configuration
without left frame.

If you value horizontal space or prefer minimalist aesthetics:

- Use a monospace font, such as [the recommended font](#meslo-nerd-font-patched-for-powerlevel10k).
  Non-monospace fonts require extra space after icons that are larger than a single column.
- Use Lean style. Compared to Classic and Rainbow, it saves two characters per prompt segment.
- Disable *current time* and *frame*.
- Use *few icons*. The extra icons enabled by the *many icons* option primarily serve decorative
  function. Informative icons, such as background job indicator, will be shown either way.

*Note*: You can run configuration wizard as many times as you like. Type `p10k configure` to try new
prompt style.
