-#### Developers Guide
-
-The theme has grown a lot lately, so I think a little explanation would be 
-helpful.
-
-##### Basic Knowledge
-
-Our main entry point are the `PROMPT` and `RPROMPT` variables, which are 
-interpreted by zsh itself. All that this (and any other) theme does is
-filling these two variables with control instructions (like defining 
-colors, etc.) and ready-to-use data. So within this theme we collect a
-whole bunch of information to put in that variables. You can find 
-`PROMPT` and `RPROMPT` at the very end of the `powerlevel9k.zsh-theme`.
-
-This simple diagram may explain the invoking order better:
-
-```
-+-----+    +---------+
-| Zsh |--->| $PROMPT |
-+-----+    +---------+
-                |
-                V
-    +---------------------+    +------------+  +---------------------+
-    | build_left_prompt() |--->| prompt_*() |->| $1_prompt_segment() |
-    +---------------------+    +------------+  +---------------------+
-```
-
-##### Adding Segments
-
-Feel free to add your own segments. Every segment gets called with an
-orientation as first parameter (`left` or `right`), so we can figure
-out on which side we should draw the segment. This information is 
-used at the time we call the actual segment-drawing function:
-`$1_prompt_segment`. To make the magic color-overwrite mechanism to
-work, we have to pass our function name as first argument. Usually
-this is just `$0`. Second parameter is a default background color,
-third the default foreground color. And finally we pass our content
-to the function. So our function could look somewhat like this:
-
-```zsh
-    prompt_echo() {
-        local content='Hello World!'
-        $1_prompt_segment $0 blue red $content
-    }
-```
-
-At this point we can overwrite our blue-on-red segment by putting 
-    
-    POWERLEVEL9K_ECHO_FOREGROUND="200"
-    POWERLEVEL9K_ECHO_BACKGROUND="040"
-
-in our `~/.zshrc`. We now have a pink-on-green segment. Yay!
