Tokyo Night Tmux

A clean, dark Tmux theme that celebrates the lights of Downtown Tokyo at night. The perfect companion for tokyonight-vim Adapted from the original, Visual Studio Code theme. The old version (deprecated) is still available in the legacy branch.

About this theme

This is a very opinionated project, as I am a Tech Lead, this theme is very developer-focused.

Requirements

This theme has the following hard requirements:

• Any patched Nerd Fonts (v3 or higher)
• Bash 4.2 or newer

The following are recommended for full support of all widgets and features:

• Noto Sans Symbols 2 (for segmented digit numbers)
• bc (for netspeed and git widgets)
• jq, [gh], [glab] (for git widgets)
• playerctl (Linux) or nowplaying-cli (macOS) for music statusbar

macOS

macOS still ships with bash 3.2 so you must provide a newer version. You can easily install all dependencies via Homebrew:

brew tap homebrew/cask-fonts
brew install --cask font-monaspace-nerd-font font-noto-sans-symbols-2
brew install bash bc coreutils gawk gh glab gsed jq nowplaying-cli

Linux

Alpine Linux

apk add bash bc coreutils gawk git jq playerctl sed

Arch Linux

pacman -Sy bash bc coreutils git jq playerctl

Ubuntu

apt-get install bash bc coreutils gawk git jq playerctl

Check documentation for installing on other operating systems.
