About this theme

A slatewave.p10k.zsh config you source from .zshrc after p10k itself loads — two-line frame with a teal ╭─ opener and ╰─❯$ closer, and the same left/right segment layout as the Slatewave Oh My Posh and Starship ports so switching shells preserves the visual rhythm.

Slatewave for Powerlevel10k ships as a single slatewave.p10k.zsh you source from .zshrc after p10k itself loads — its typeset -g POWERLEVEL9K_* assignments win, the layout doesn’t change, and removing the source line reverts you to vanilla p10k. The prompt is a two-line frame: ╭─ opens, ╰─❯$ closes, both teal on success and rose on a non-zero exit.

Left segments run os → ssh → dir → git → virtualenv → java; right segments run exec time → battery → cpu load → ram → time — the same rhythm as the Oh My Posh and Starship ports, so the prompt looks the same in zsh whether p10k or starship is rendering it. Transient prompt collapses old prompts to a single line on enter to keep scrollback clean.

Every color resolves to a hex value pinned to the Slatewave palette, so overrides compose cleanly: re-declare any POWERLEVEL9K_* below the source line and your assignment wins.

  • Slatewave CLI

    Install with the Slatewave family CLI — one command, every theme.

    slatewave install powerlevel10k

  • curl

    Drop slatewave.p10k.zsh into ~/.config/p10k. Requires Powerlevel10k 1.18.0+ and a Nerd Font (MesloLGS NF or Hack Nerd Font Mono both work).

    mkdir -p ~/.config/p10k && curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kevinlangleyjr/p10k-slatewave/main/slatewave.p10k.zsh -o ~/.config/p10k/slatewave.p10k.zsh

  • Clone

    Clone for versioned updates instead of curl.

    git clone https://github.com/kevinlangleyjr/p10k-slatewave ~/.config/p10k-slatewave

  • Activate

    Source the Slatewave config from your .zshrc — *after* the line that sources p10k itself, so its assignments win.

    1. Add to ~/.zshrc, after p10k is sourced: `[[ -f ~/.config/p10k/slatewave.p10k.zsh ]] && source ~/.config/p10k/slatewave.p10k.zsh`
    2. Restart your shell or run `source ~/.zshrc`
