 # syl20bnr theme
 
-Sylvain Benner personal, compact (hmmm...) yet complete (almost :-)) oh-my-fish theme.
+A semi-compact oh-my-fish theme with [nice support for git](#git).
+
+The theme has been tested on `Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty)` and `Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite)`.
+It is also compatible with [Cygwin with the appropriate packages](#cygwin-compatibility).

 The `git` segment format is `X:YI@Z:P(N)` where:
 - `X` is `git`
 - `Y` is the current branch name
-- `I` is the information about the current repository state
+- `I` is some information about the current repository state
 - `Z` is the name of the repository
 - `P` is the current working path basename (name of the current directory)
 If `P` = `Z` then `P(N)` is not displayed
 - `N` is the depth of the path starting from base directory of the repository
 
 The displayed information `I` is:
-- Dirtiness is indicated by a little dot after the branch name.
-- Unpushed commits are indicated with up arrows
-- The number of unpushed commits is indicated right after the up arrows
+- Unpushed commits are indicated with an up arrow like this `[↑1]`
+- Unmerged fetched commits are indicated with a down arrow like this `[↓1]`
 
+**Note:** The dirtiness of the current branch is indicated by its color:
+- red: it is dirty
+- green: it is up to date
+
+**Note:** The unmerged commits count appears only if the changes in the
+upstream branch as been fetched.
