Using tmux with pywal? #635

Closed wbehrens-on-gh closed 2 years ago

wbehrens-on-gh commented 2 years ago

I'm trying to get setup for using pywal to change the colors on my tmux status line but the only hits I'm getting are from this issue which doesn't answer my question, my question being how to specify tmux status line colors using pywal

I've also been struggling to get pywal working with tmux properly. Shell spawned in a tab gets colors applied by running (cat ~/.cache/wal/sequences &) from .bashrc, however bottom status line stays olive-green until I manually run pywal -R.

Hmm... tmux works great with wal for me (ArchLinux 5.15.8, tmux 3.2a, wal 3.3.0, XTerm 370).

There isn't really a way to specify tmux status line colors using pywal. tmux simply uses the colors from the terminal it's in. To specify which of your terminal colors tmux uses, edit ~/.tmux.conf.

If tmux is already open, then yes, the expected behavior would be that you have to run wal to change the terminal colors (which change tmux's colors).
