$reset_color is misnamed; it expands to $color[none], where none is 0.
0 means "reset all attributes", so you lose your bold attribute.
$fg[default]$bg[default] resets just the colors.



thanks Dan, it works :)

BTW, how will one make system-wide changes to ZSH shell. by creating a
"/etc/zshrc" or "/etc/zsh/zshsrc" ?
