My favorite command prompt had a white row at the
top of the screen displaying the current drive/path
on the left side with the date and time displayed on
the right side. The screen background was blue with
the text being white, the actual command line was
changed from C: to simply a colon.


IIRC, the default prompt in DOS was just '', the drive letter was an
option you have to add.


Nope. It was the current drive's letter followed by a "". A
common change was to set the prompt environment variable to $p$g which
resulted in a prompt like
C:\SOMEDIR

Snicerely,
