@catppuccin_status_*_separator

[thomastthai]

My settings for @catppuccin_status_*_separator and @catppuccin_status_fill to change the upper right status separators from rounded to slants and fill option aren't working. tmux kill-server is executed after changes. What am I missing?

Relevant system info:

• macOS Sequoia 15.1.1
• iTerm2 v3.5.10
• tmux v3.5a
• catppuccin/tmux at commit 1795723 (Mon Nov 18 09:33:58 2024 +1100)

# Status
set -g @catppuccin_status_left_separator  "█"
set -g @catppuccin_status_middle_separator " █"
set -g @catppuccin_status_right_separator "█"
set -g @catppuccin_status_fill "all"
set -g @catppuccin_status_connect_separator "no"
set -g @catppuccin_status_module_bg_color "#{@thm_surface_0}"

set -g status-right "#{E:@catppuccin_status_application}"
set -gF  status-right "#{@catppuccin_status_directory}"
set -agF status-right "#{@catppuccin_status_user}"
set -agF status-right "#{@catppuccin_status_host}"
set -agF status-right "#{@catppuccin_status_session}"

Another way to check if those user variables were set properly:

❯ tmux show-option -g @catppuccin_status_left_separator
@catppuccin_status_left_separator 

❯ tmux show-option -g @catppuccin_status_right_separator
@catppuccin_status_right_separator " "

❯ tmux show-option -g @catppuccin_status_middle_separator
@catppuccin_status_middle_separator ''

❯ tmux show-option -g @catppuccin_status_fill
@catppuccin_status_fill all

As you can see, the settings didn't take.

Here are the changes that made the configuration work. Notice the -ag in the set -ag status-right ... lines.

Also, when the middle separator has a slant, there is a one-pixel height line that's there but shouldn't be. The middle separator config line also needed the addition of #[fg=#{@thm_surface_0}] to match the text color (background) for the status module, otherwise, it's dark black. I don't know if that's a bug.

Unfortunately set -g @catppuccin_status_fill "all" still doesn't work as expected.

# Status
set -g @catppuccin_status_left_separator  "█"
set -g @catppuccin_status_middle_separator "#[fg=#{@thm_surface_0}]█"
set -g @catppuccin_status_right_separator "█"
set -g @catppuccin_status_fill "all"
set -g @catppuccin_status_connect_separator "yes"
#set -g @catppuccin_status_module_bg_color "#{@thm_surface_0}"

set -g status-right "#{E:@catppuccin_status_application}"
set -ag status-right "#{E:@catppuccin_status_directory}"
set -ag status-right "#{E:@catppuccin_status_user}"
set -ag status-right "#{E:@catppuccin_status_host}"
set -ag status-right "#{E:@catppuccin_status_session}"

In addition to the slant-shapes, I wanted to test other shapes.

./utils/status_module.conf provides insights to customize the look of the status module area. I don't think there is a set -g @catppuccin_status_fill "all". I manually changed the background colors for each status module. Changing the code below and using the same color for the fills can achieve the same effect as ...fill "all". The attached image shows the left side of the status modules having a lighter background color instead of the same as the text background color.

After more tweaking, the status line evolved to this:

The code that created that status line:

#set -g @catppuccin_status_left_separator  "#[fg=#{@_ctp_status_bg},bg=#{@_ctp_status_bg}]#[none]"
