#440 Powerline doesn't work in console2
Hello developers,
Apparently when I install powerline for my bash shell it won't display correctly in console2.
I've tried opening a cygwin terminal and there it does display correctly.
See the screenshot here for a example: http://imgur.com/xyRBaEN
I really hope you can fix this issue. I would love to be able to use powerline as my prompt.
Might this have something to do with not having 256 color support?

Hi,
It's most likely due to Console not having 256 color support. I've stopped maintaining Console years ago, mainly due to lack of time, so I don't think I'll be adding that feature.
Sorry about that.

Ok so for anyone who wants to have a powerline like prompt I suggest using zsh with oh-my-zsh theme agnoster, this theme seems to use 16 colors instead of the 256 that console would need to display it correctly. That plus you would obviously need a patched font for powerline in order to make it work. Anyways, I hope this is useful for people searching to use a powerline like prompt on console.
