Using Oh-my-zsh themes in oh-my-posh

[srikk73]

I am running manjaro cinnamon 5.15.28-1-MANJARO x86_64.

I have installed zsh, oh-my-zsh and recently oh-my-posh.

How can I use oh-my-zsh themes in oh-my-posh? Do I have to recreate them for posh?

Regards,
Srikanth

[JanDeDobbeleer]

Yes, you have to recreate them.

[NotSpaulding]

That's unfortunate, I wanted to use this theme in oh-my-posh, but I don't see any way to recreate the actual headline.

I think oh-my-zsh theme support would be wonderful, but sadly I don't think it's really even possible to have a 1:1 oh-my-zsh compatibility; but please prove me if I am wrong ;)

[NotSpaulding]

Oh really? I could not figure out a way to do something like that with oh-my-posh, would love to see what you can do!

That's really nice! Can I ask what your theme file looks like?

That's great! Thank you so much and that speed was just incredible! Kudos to you!

Hi,

I tried using the theme as above. But I see some errors:

What is the problem here?

I have taken the latest posh files.

[JanDeDobbeleer]

@srikk73 you can see this in oh-my-posh debug. I tried the theme, seems to work on my end.

[BoseSj]

In customize.mdx file, at line 19 what it means by a path to a local configuration file , config file/theme created by the user himself or installed oh-posh-themes? I am guessing it's the first one!

[JanDeDobbeleer]

@BoseSj both. A configuration file on the system.
