Bug Description

Currently the Terminal / bash is plain by default so it is really hard to find the "input line" / previously run commands. This is quite annoying when you run multiple commands in a row and want to scroll back to check the output of the last one because it's hard to find where it started.

I know I can uncomment force_color_prompt=yes to have colors, but in my opinion the visibility should be improved by default. Maybe by uncommenting said line, maybe using some other way.

I'm going to confirm this. I think it would be helpful to be able to find the prompt in the backlog. I'm not sure I'm happy with the style that's currently applied when you set force color prompt, but that might just be because of the bold.
