Things you need to know when modifying the code

• Update both, PS1 in the promptig file and printPrompt() in test/tests/testcase.sh for reviews.

• Color codes are terminal dependent. http://www.arwin.net/tech/bash.php#s_1 Cyan='\e[0;34m' may not be cyan in your terminal. See color palette (Edit->Profile Preferences->Colors->Palette)

• Do not mix colors and text in functions (see: http://stackoverflow.com/a/6592102)

• Colors need to be escaped in PS1 explicitly (PS1=...\[${Cyan}\]...) but not in printPrompt() (echo -e "...${Cyan}...)
