disable status bar and use powerline instead?

[gieses]

Thanks for making this repo! It's awesome how many bells and whistles are in the template. I'd like to replace the status bar with the https://github.com/erikw/tmux-powerline version. However, when I put the code below, only parts of the status bar change (the middle panel). The left and right stay the same.

set-option -g status on
set-option -g status-interval 2
set-option -g status-justify "centre"
set-option -g status-left-length 60
set-option -g status-right-length 90
# paths are adapted to the repo location locally + I added the powerline path to my PATH
set-option -g status-left "#(~/path/to/tmux-powerline/powerline.sh left)"
set-option -g status-right "#(~/path/to/tmux-powerline/powerline.sh right)"
set-hook -g session-created 'run-shell "~/path/to/tmux-powerline/powerline.sh init"' # prettifies the window-status segments

When I refresh the plugins with prefix + r, I can see what looks like the right status bar from the powerline config but only for a very brief moment in the beginning. I tried putting the above snippet at the beginning or end but it work.

Do you have any advice?

Hello @gieses 👋

Add tmux_conf_theme=disabled in your ~/.tmux.conf.local copy

[gpakosz]

That being said, if you edit ~/.tmux.conf you're on your own. Only customize your ~/.tmux.conf.local copy

@gpakosz thanks, awesome! Works without any further adjustment. Now, I realized that it's actually documented ...

Yes, I was indeed referring to the ~/.tmux.conf.local copy.

It's a recent enhancement
