Tmux Themepack

A pack of various themes for Tmux for 2.6 or later.

Installation

Install manually

1. Clone repo to local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/jimeh/tmux-themepack.git ~/.tmux-themepack
   

2. Source desired theme in your ~/.tmux.conf:

    source-file "${HOME}/.tmux-themepack/powerline/default/green.tmuxtheme"
   

   In some linux distributions you might have to remove the quotation marks from the source-file command to avoid a no such file or directory error:

    source-file ${HOME}/.tmux-themepack/powerline/default/green.tmuxtheme
   

Install using Tmux Plugin Manager

1. Add plugin to the list of TPM plugins in .tmux.conf:

   set -g @plugin 'jimeh/tmux-themepack'
   

2. Press prefix + I to fetch the plugin and source it. The plugin should now be working.

Choose which theme is loaded by setting the @themepack option in your .tmux.conf:

• set -g @themepack 'basic' (default)
• set -g @themepack 'powerline/block/blue'
• set -g @themepack 'powerline/block/cyan'
• set -g @themepack 'powerline/default/green'
• set -g @themepack 'powerline/double/magenta'
• ...

Powerline Themes

Inspired by the Powerline VIM plugin, and requires the use of a powerline compatible font in your terminal. You can find a number of such fonts in the powerline-fonts project.

If your preferred font isn't available there, please refer to Powerline's documentation on Font Patching to patch the font yourself.

Customizing

All themes are built with overridable custom @-prefixed Tmux options, which means that any part of a theme can be easily customized.

To customize a theme, simply look at the source to see the list of Tmux options with names beginning with a @, and simply set the desired option in your tmux.conf before the theme is loaded.

Development / Contributing

If you want to contribute a theme, please have them use custom @-prefixed Tmux options like existing themes, so they can be customized the same way.

New themes should be created under the src folder with a .tmuxtheme extension. Please have a look at existing themes to see how files can be included and shared between themes.

To build all themes, just run make build from the root of the project.

All themes also have unit tests which can be found under the test directory. They are written in Go, but hopefully easy to understand. To run all tests, just run make test from the root of the project.

tmux-themepack's Issues

Powerline characters missing and displaying as French quotes

Hello! I've just installed the plugin, but when I enter tmux, this is what I see.

Some powerline characters are missing and some are displayed as french quotes (»).

does not work with fish shell

Got a number of error message when running source $HOME/.tmux-themepack/powerline/block/blue.tmuxtheme

For one example, one error says "set: Variable name 'status-interval' is not valid. See help identifiers"

Block tmux reattach theming failure

This is probably an edge-case, but mind looking into it for me?
tmux 1.8 (rhel 7)
SSH through Putty (using Source Code for Powerline font with Solarized Dark theme color scheme)
After deattaching tmux session (c-b d), and reattaching that same session, tmux is failing to theme the block and status bar.

If you need/want more info, feel free to ping me.

Appending to the status bar

It'd be nice to be able to customize the themes further. I'm trying to add a battery status indicator to my status-right, and right now below the import of the themepack theme I have written:

set -g status-right "#[fg=colour235,bg=colour233]#[fg=colour240,bg=colour235] %H:%M:%S #[fg=colour240, bg=colour235]#[fg=colour233,bg=colour240] %d-%b-%y #[fg=colour245,bg=colour240]#[fg=colour232,bg=colour245,bold] #H #{battery_icon} #{battery_percentage} "

It shows up for the first render, but then it looks like the theme is overwriting my status-right immediately after

Other plugins don't work with the custom themepack variables.

I'm using https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-cpu & https://github.com/tmux-plugins/tmux-battery. They work if I simply do:

set -g status-right "#{battery_icon} #{battery_percentage} #{cpu_icon} #{cpu_percentage}"

But if I try to use the customizable variables here it doesn't work:

set -goq @themepack-status-right-area-left-format "#{battery_icon} #{battery_percentage}"
set -goq @themepack-status-right-area-middle-format "#{cpu_icon} #{cpu_percentage}"

Any ideas on how to get this to work?

Adding space between the last prompt line and the status bar

Hello,
What option can I change to add a space between the last line of the prompt and the status bar, please ?

Thank you.

powerline font can not display

Hi, I installed the themepack as the README

and every thing goes well,

bug the powerline font can not display

And maybe you will know why there are blank lines at the right and bottom of the window
I can't get a answer from GOOGLE

ATHAME_VIM_MODE not displayed

Hi,

I was trying to tweak the powerline block gray theme by displaying the env variable ATHAME_VIM_MODE from Athame, and for some reason it doesn't appear. I've tried other env variables, and they get displayed, but not that one, although I can do `echo $ATHAME_VIM_MODE`` from the shell...

Is that a theme problem? How could I solve that to have it displayed?

Interest in a Solarized Dark theme?

I like these themes but use solarized dark in my terminal so the color schemes don't really fit well. I created one that does; a screenshot can be found here:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pcewing/dotfiles/master/Screenshot.png

If you're interested in adding it to the pack, I can clean up the config file and make a pull request. Otherwise, feel free to close this out!

@theme*-prefix/suffix and configuration reload error

Adding anything to a suffix/prefix and reloading the configuration results in the suffix/prefix being printed/applied multiple times.

e.g. adding set -g @theme-status-left-prefix "test" and reloading the configuration results in this:

Screencast.from.2023-12-18.13-33-00.webm

Theme overrides oh-my-tmux configuration

I'm using oh-my-tmux, tmuxinator and tmux-themepack together and the theme seems to override or obscure the tmux_conf_theme_status_left and tmux_conf_theme_status_right settings.

with theme enabled:

without theme enabled:

Suggestion: Highlight on pressing prefix.

Thank You
First off, the themes are just lovely ❤️, been using it for a while now & it fits well with my vim's oceanic-next theme.

Suggestion
Can we highlighting this part:

on pressing of prefix key by either giving it more/less contrast would be really handy in determining the state of tmux.

set -g @theme-status-right-prefix appends on reload, instead of replacing

I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong, would love guidance!

set -g @theme-status-right-prefix "Marco"

When I reload 4 times, I end up with 4 of these:

Line not displaying some character

Hey, i know its my side problem, but maybe you know the solution?

My tmux is not displaying U+E0E0, and all other arrows

there is my tmux.conf and the example of how the characters look

Some colors not legible

Using powerline default theme (red, yellow, green etc.):
source-file "${HOME}/.tmux-themepack/powerline/default/red.tmuxtheme"

The window title has a bad foreground-background combo, illegible text. Same problem with command prompt.

Tried with different colors. I have no customization of the theme in my .tmux.conf, using as-is. I have nothing else visual related in the conf either.

The tmux server is running on a remote host (not local mac). Could something be causing this? or am I missing some setup step?

'~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/tpm' returned 1

I cannot get this plugin running with tpm since the above error occurs when i add set -g @plugin 'jimeh/tmux-themepack' to my tmux.conf

problem with macOS: no such option: q

$ source .tmux-themepack/powerline/default/cyan.tmuxtheme
.tmux-themepack/powerline/default/cyan.tmuxtheme:set:12: no such option: q

Themes not being applied anymore with tmux 3.1c

On my .tmux.conf:

set -g @plugin 'jimeh/tmux-themepack'
set -g @themepack 'powerline/block/green'

But i get a default theme. This seems to be since 3.1c.

Fix for Tmux 2.9 compatibility, breaks themes in Tmux 1.8 and earlier

The fix for Tmux 2.9 in #25 sadly breaks compatibility with Tmux 1.8 and earlier, as the *-style options were introduced in Tmux 1.9.

Annoyingly I still have a couple of boxes floating around which are perpetually stuck with Tmux 1.8 for reasons beyond my control.

I'm working on a refactor to allow themes to be customizable, and at the same time, I'll make them compatible with Tmux 1.8 and later.

include "tunes-plugin" - (current song playing in status line)

Hey,

where i can set my current song playing like @nicknisi is doing it?

i like to include this beautiful feature in this theme pack <3

thanks for your help

How do you set basic theme?

After installing themepack with powerline/double/cyan, status bar does not show as expected

Referring to the bar not being smooth

Shortened line after applying theme

Working on Ubuntu with Zsh installed.
The line remains shortened even when I minimise the terminal.
There was no such problem with the line without the theme.

theme titles parameters

You should list off all the theme titles like in the first examples, it's hard to discern what are the exact parameters they are in when I try to set it up in my conf file, I pretty much have to guess it

tmux 2.9 incompatibility: -fg, -bg and -attr options have been removed

Since tmux 2.9 is out (near 24 May 2019) themes are incompatible with tmux.

I you read the tmux 2.9 Changelog, you'll see this for example:

• The individual -fg, -bg and -attr options have been removed; they
  were superseded by -style options in tmux 1.9.

So at tmux launch I see those errors:

Doesn't work on macOS?

In my tmux.conf I have

source-file '/Users/crstnbr/.tmux-themepack/powerline/default/cyan.tmuxtheme'

What I get when starting tmux:

/Users/crstnbr/.tmux-themepack/powerline/default/cyan.tmuxtheme:10: unknown command:

Versions:
macOS Catalina 10.15.4
tmux 3.0a

Could it be an incompatibility with tmux version >=3.0?

Any pointers to how to fix this will be highly appreciated!

Work with base16-shell

Would it be possible to build a theme that works with base16-shell themes? The basic theme seems to adapt but I'm not sure if there's a better way.

Old/new powerline characters?

I'm using the patched version of Source Code Pro from the linked repository. The separator symbols show up fine in vim-ariline. When browsing through the airline docs I noticed a section on "old powerline separators" and characters looked very strange. In fact, they look like this:

Which is exactly what I'm faced with using the cyan double tmux theme. Any idea where to go from here?

Cancel bottom margin of the status bar

Hello,
As you can see in the image attached, the status bar has a bottom margin. Is there a way to fix this?

Thank you in advance, love that theme btw <3

Refresh display after changes to .tmux.conf?

I can't seem to make changes to my ~/.tmux.conf reflected in the theme without closing all tmux sessions and opening a new one. Say I change what's displayed in the status bar of one of the themes provided here. How do you make the change active? Reloading ~/.tmux.conf doesn't do it for me.

How to configure status

I want to remove some things from the status bar and edit somethings too.
I want to completely remove the right status.
Also, I want to add a little windows or ubuntu icon to the extreme left of my status.
How can i do that?

Adding Ram Available

Hello team, thanks for this plugin, i'm using it and it's so useful.

I would like to add the available ram, how can I do this?

Cursor Blinking & Type not controllable

for the life in me I can't figure out why would the below line prevent the cursor from blinking
the  character is the powerline triangle
this is the original line in Jimeh theme pack
I am trying to get the cursor blinking to work again but can't solve the issue in the below line

set -g status-right "#[fg=colour235,bg=colour233]#[fg=colour240,bg=colour235] %H:%M:%S #[fg=colour240,bg=colour235]#[fg=colour233,bg=colour240] %d-%b-%y #[fg=colour245,bg=colour240]#[fg=colour232,bg=colour245,bold] #H "

add a high-contrast/white on black theme

All the current themes work well for a terminal that is normally set with a dark background and a light foreground, but some of us prefer to use a high-contrast theme for our terminal sessions (say, if we happen to work in brightly-lit conditions, or even outdoors).

Add support for tmux-prefix-highlight?

Excellent pack of themes you have here jimeh!

Is it possible an option could be added to support the tmux-prefix-highlight plugin out of the box? I consider it a very useful plugin when interacting with multiple windows.

In the meantime, I've gone through the theme I use and manually added the tmux-prefix-highlight indicator to the status line.

Thank you again!

Add pane synchronization status on right

Please add an indicator to show if all panes in window are synchronized or not. It helps a lot when multiple panes are open and you are switching between synchronized and unsynchronized mode.

I made following change to basic theme to make this work -
set -g status-right "#{?pane_synchronized, #[fg=yellow]SYNC #[fg=white]«#[default], } #H #[fg=white]« #[fg=yellow]%H:%M:%S #[fg=green]%d-%b-%y".

it looks like following -

How can get pane numbers?

By default <prefix>+q will show a big number indicating the pane number. After installed the theme, no pane number appears.
This is my .tmux.conf:

# keys
bind r source-file ~/.tmux.conf

# options
set -g prefix C-b
set -g prefix2 C-x

set -g mouse on

set -g mode-keys vi

# plugins
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tpm'
run '~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/tpm'

### comment the two lines, it shows numbers.
### set -g @plugin 'jimeh/tmux-themepack'
### set -g @themepack 'basic'

set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect' # persist tmux sessions after computer restart
set -g @resurrect-capture-pane-contents 'on'

set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tmux-continuum' # automatically saves sessions for you every 15 minutes
set -g @continuum-restore 'on'

How to customize colours.

Hi, really loving this but how do you provide custom colours?
I know in the readme it says..

To customize a theme, simply look at the source to see the list of Tmux options with names beginning with a @, and simply set the desired option in your tmux.conf before the theme is loaded.

But what does that look like? How do you set the desired option in tmux.conf?
For example I see in the themes there is..

set -goq @powerline-color-main-1 colour39

So how do I set a colour for that in tmux.conf?
Thanks in advance
