How get Gnome Console with different layout and automatic functions?

On a laptop I have installed a fresh install of Manjaro.
As default Gnome Console was installed and this version has a different layout and has automatic functions compared to an older desktop. See the pictures.


Both computers have the same Gnome version 49 and Manjaro relase 26.0.2 but the fresh installed laptop has a newer kernel (6.18.8-1 instead 6.12.68-1).
The first layout on the fresh installed laptop, see the first picture, I like the most.
How could I get the same layout on the older desktop?

Sync the package manjaro-zsh-config

sudo pacman -Syu manjaro-zsh-config

Then create a new file in your home named .zshrc and paste the following content into the file

# Use powerline
USE_POWERLINE="true"
# Has weird character width
# Example:
#    is not a diamond
HAS_WIDECHARS="false"
# Source manjaro-zsh-configuration
if [[ -e /usr/share/zsh/manjaro-zsh-config ]]; then
  source /usr/share/zsh/manjaro-zsh-config
fi
# Use manjaro zsh prompt
if [[ -e /usr/share/zsh/manjaro-zsh-prompt ]]; then
  source /usr/share/zsh/manjaro-zsh-prompt
fi

Then change your shell to zsh

chsh -s /usr/bin/zsh

Close the terminal and reopen - you may need to sign-out and sign-in for the change to take effect.

zsh is a verry handful unix shell.
The different layout has nothing to do with Gnome Console or Gnome Terminal but it was a different unix shell.
