It may simply be hidden because there isn't enough remaining space on the status bar. Try to increase the length of tmux status bar (left or or right) and/or remove some information from the tmux status bar (in tmux.conf). Why Byobu custom status notification code fail to show in color? If using the tmux backend for byobu, you will need to use a different format for color codes. Here are two example custom status bar components, and the codes that produce them: #fg=#aa77cc,bg=#222222 @XXX.XX #default.
- [Instructor] We can set up Tmux…with a preferences file so when a new session starts…it has some settings already configured.…What we'll do in this video is setup Tmux…so it respects changes of window names,…recolors the status bar to cyan,…and sets a key binding that's easier to press than ctrl+b.…For my user settings that file's called .tmux.conf…and it lives in my home folder.…I'll create that file with vi.tmux.conf.…And I'll go to insertion mode.…First I want to set the option that tells Tmux…not to rename my windows after I set a name.…
That's set-option-g, allow-rename off.…Just as if I had typed it at the command line.…Next I'll use set - g status-bg which is the option…for the background of the status bar…and I'll set that to cyan.…Then I'll add my line to enable another…key binding for the commands, that's set-option-g…prefix C, which stands for control, -a.…
Ctrl-a is a little closer to where my fingers…fall on the keyboard.…At this point now, ctrl+a and ctrl+b…would work to invoke commands.…I can unbind ctrl+b with unbind C-b.…
