If you're asking about the colors in the screenshot.. That's from the lolcat command: if you pipe any text into it, you get the color gradient.
Ah man so there's no way to make all my terminals look like that all the time?
watch me make an alias out of this
I created a QSystemTrayIcon python application just to trigger xcowsay to make a cow give me random quotes, we all have our rabbit-holes :')
