How can I add a segment which inherits the background color of the previous one?

[TheOnlyTails]

I made my shell line end with a rounding character (\uE0B6 for start, \uE0B4 for end):

But now I want it to basically round off whatever segment is currently at the end, basically meaning I want it to inherit the last segment's background color (in the block).

Is there a way to do that?

Can you put a copy of your theme?
if your last segment is a diamond segment you can put a custom trailing_diamond:

{
          "background": "#2e9599",
          "foreground": "#ffffff",
          "leading_diamond": "",
          "properties": {
            "always_enabled": true,
            "color_background": true,
            "display_exit_code": false,
            "error_color": "#f1184c",
            "prefix": " "
          },
          "style": "diamond",
          "trailing_diamond": "\uE0B4",
          "type": "exit"
}

gives:

But from what you explain you'd like a fixed segment at the end which takes the color of any previous segment?

Yes and we don't have that easily out of the box tbh. But, I like the inherit color option idea.

[TheOnlyTails]

Having an inherit color which goes to the previous segment (you could even have a block option that specifies whether inherit is allowed to inherit from other blocks) would be nice.
Would you like me to open an issue?

[JanDeDobbeleer]

Please do, I believe this can be added rather swiftly.

Done! #994

I don't know how to use Go, but otherwise I'd love to help actually implement it.

Looks amazing! I'm very impressed with how fast this was done, @JanDeDobbeleer!

{
	"type": "text",
	"style": "diamond",
	"background": "inherit",
	"foreground": "inherit",
	"trailing_diamond": "\uE0B4", // this makes the end round
	"properties": {
		"text": ""
	}
}

My pleasure.
