Bira is close but it's not the same, Fox is the theme Kali uses. – Panos Apr 21 '23 at 10:41

Kali Linux does not use a separate theme file for its zsh customizations. So you cannot download the Kali Linux zsh theme, drop it in themes/
, and set ZSH_THEME
to its name as you usually can in Oh My Zsh. Instead, the customizations are made to .zshrc
directly. You can inspect .zshrc
which is included into Kali Linux and choose what customizations you want.
Be careful to keep a backup of your existing ~/.zshrc
. I also used zsh -d -f; source /path/to/file
as suggested and explained in another answer to test the configurations without replacing the existing configuration file at all.

I think the Bira theme is pretty similar in terms of appearance to Kali.
