The `user` segment (user string) will print the username. You can customize the `user` segment.
For example, you can modify the COLOURS for the two states - DEFAULT and ROOT, by setting
```
POWERLEVEL9K_USER_DEFAULT_BACKGROUND="green"
POWERLEVEL9K_USER_DEFAULT_FOREGROUND="white"
POWERLEVEL9K_USER_ROOT_BACKGROUND="red"
POWERLEVEL9K_USER_ROOT_FOREGROUND="yellow"
```
You can also override the icons by setting
```
POWERLEVEL9K_USER_ICON="\uF415" #
POWERLEVEL9K_ROOT_ICON="#"
```
