Credits: This is just a modification on the primary code for their prompt YT theme; made by hXR16F on their repo at github.com/hXR16F/hyperial

Non-Elevated (No Blinking)
$E[40m$E[94m░▒▓$E[103m$E[34m$S$T$H$H$H$S-$E[31m$E[7m%username%$E[7m$E[36m$E[7m[@%computername%]$E[7m$E[0m$E[40m$E[94m▓▒░$S$E[40m$E[31m░▒▓$E[41m$E[1;93m$S$P$S$E[40m$E[31m▓▒░$S$E[0m

Usage:
Works with Windows "Cmd.exe /Command.com" prompt settings as well as with "Gsudo config Prompt".

1. Execute the change for the current session: prompt $E[05m$E[40m$E[94m░▒▓$E[103m$E[34m$S$T$H$H$H$S-$E[31m$E[7m%username%$E[7m$E[36m$E[7m[@%computername%]$E[7m$E[0m$E[05m$E[40m$E[94m▓▒░$S$E[40m$E[31m░▒▓$E[41m$E[1;93m$S$P$S$E[40m$E[31m▓▒░$S$E[0m
2. Set environment variable so the prompt is always set this way: setx prompt $E[05m$E[40m$E[94m░▒▓$E[103m$E[34m$S$T$H$H$H$S-$E[31m$E[7m%username%$E[7m$E[36m$E[7m[@%computername%]$E[7m$E[0m$E[05m$E[40m$E[94m▓▒░$S$E[40m$E[31m░▒▓$E[41m$E[1;93m$S$P$S$E[40m$E[31m▓▒░$S$E[0m

Reversal/Return to Defaults:
Simply enter: "Prompt $P$G" at the command prompt and this will enter you back to default state, if you used the "setx" command then use: "setx prompt $P$G"

Modification:
There are many possibilities, I suspect most are interested in the color and visual aspects and that's good because I don't know all the different variables etc. that can be used by "prompt" but i know it's more than I know.
Access the attached file under this gist called "w10ansicolor.cmd" run the raw in cmd.exe for the color/visuals chart and definitions.

Thanks again to @mlocati @hXR16F and @gerardog for doing the hard work :)

See this original gist that got me going on my quest to put some ownage on the prompt and many more excellent ones at: https://gist.github.com/mlocati/fdabcaeb8071d5c75a2d51712db24011

Thanks @mlocati! I am using this tool to help touchup a nice prompt template I found from (https://github.com/hXR16F/hyperialto) to do my own weirdo thing at https://gist.github.com/SPIKEYPUP/ebfeab52e50a1beccbe65d83e634a114#file-promptexamples-txt
since now on Windows Terminal we've been able to add elevated PS and CMD to the drop down using Gsudo (https://github.com/gerardog/gsudo) I can ensure that the prompts there are colorful and blink to make sure I know I'm acting as root/system and don't make a bad oopsie, I have a different background image set as well for the elevated shells and such but this really helps make sure I don't forget lol; and the color separation helps me see clearly where I'm at and what i'm doing etc. :D Thanks everyone for making it so easy to do things like this by sharing your work it really saves so much time and lets me learn a lot at the same time too.
