tmuxcolors-light.conf causes dark status bar in suckless st with solarized light patch applied.

[crocket]

I applied st-no_bold_colors-0.7.diff and st-solarized-light-0.7.diff from https://st.suckless.org/patches/solarized/ to suckless st on Gentoo.

Question

Is that how tmux is supposed to look with solarized color themes? Why is status bar dark with tmuxcolors-light.conf applied?

[crocket]

It seems to be a problem of st. Alacritty doesn't have this issue.

[tompreston]

@crocket did you ever fix this? What about st breaks tmux status bar colours?

[crocket]

I deleted st and use only alacritty. I didn't fix it.

[markuspeloquin]

:( I'm seeing the same problem with gnome-terminal 3.32.2. I set my palette not to the incorrect builtin solarized theme, but used the color codes from https://github.com/jwilm/alacritty/wiki/Color-schemes#solarized (light).

You don't have any screenshots anywhere, so I'm not seeing what it's supposed to look like. I just see what @tompreston showed above.

I'm using tmux-3.0-rc4.

Update It looks like I simply had the 'white' and 'black' colors reversed. I don't even know why I tried entering the colors myself, the builtin solarized palette looks fine.
