How do I get a Terminal / iTerm theme like this?

I've seen a few images online when people are going through Terminal commands and the screenshots show their version looking a damn sight foxier than mine.

Usually looking something like this: Foxy Terminal

How would I go about changing it like this? I know it's a silly question but I guess I just a shallow tart that wants his terminal to look all kinds of awesome.

Thanks

Yo Suleiman!

I think Powerline is what you're looking for here. Here's how to install it on OSX.

At this point there are a lot of clones for this kind of functionality, but I believe Powerline is the original. If Powerline is too bulky for you a simple search on Google for "Powerline bash" will point you towards some more lightweight projects that offer some similar aesthetics.

Hope that helps.
