Overall, this seems great.

However...

?!! ouch ... seems orthogonal to the actual important parts.

Disclaimer: I didn't try it.

I tried it a bit ago (when it was still called uid0, pre-release), I also wasn't a fan of the tinting.

I like the intent behind it, but some terminals already tint the header color when running sudo, I haven't tested if its done specifically for sudo or if its in a more generic way that could handle this as well.

I can think of a number of things this tinting would break.
