Wrong colors

Closed this issue 2 years ago · 18 comments

After I restarted my mac, I get the wrong colors for some reason:

This is my config:

# remap prefix from 'C-b' to 'C-a'
unbind C-b
# set-option -g prefix C-a
# bind-key C-a send-prefix
set-option -g prefix C-Space

# =============================================
# GLOBALS

set -g base-index 1
set -g  pane-base-index 1
set -gs escape-time 0
set -g -q mouse on
set -g mode-keys vi 
set -g history-limit 50000

# don't rename windows automatically
set-option -g allow-rename off
set-option -g renumber-windows on

# use zsh
set -g default-command "${SHELL}"
set -g default-terminal "xterm-256color"
set -g terminal-overrides ',xterm-256color:Tc'
set -g default-terminal "tmux-256color"
set -as terminal-overrides ',xterm*:sitm=\E[3m'

# theme

bind-key -T copy-mode-vi 'v' send -X begin-selection
bind-key -T copy-mode-vi y send-keys -X copy-pipe-and-cancel 'reattach-to-user-namespace pbcopy'

set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tpm'

set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tmux-resurrect'
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tmux-continuum'
set -g @plugin 'logico-dev/tokyo-night-tmux'

run '~/.config/tmux/plugins/tpm/tpm'

I'm not sure where the green color is coming from.

Same here.

Answer 2 · 2022-01-11T08:12:21.000Z

i experienced the same thing too. i fixed it by setting the status bg color
set -g status-bg #414868

Answer 3 · 2022-01-17T00:16:20.000Z

Same here. @codenut suggestion didn't work for me.

Answer 4 · 2022-01-30T00:09:56.000Z

same. any ideas @janoamaral

Answer 5 · 2022-03-14T21:49:47.000Z

Same here. @codenut suggestion didn't work for me.

I was able to set the background with set -g status-bg '#414868', but the colors still look strange.

Same here. @codenut suggestion didn't work for me.

I was able to set the background with set -g status-bg '#414868', but the colors still look strange.

After adding the background color, I also added the tokyo night theme for windows terminal, and this helped to improve the experience.

same problem for me, running Alacritty.

Answer 8 · 2022-06-18T21:00:31.000Z

Better than nothing but what's in the tin is not what's shown on the label. Shame, the screenshots look really nice.

The thing is I can't reproduce the bug. I'm really sorry.

I’m also getting strange colors in my terminal. My Neovim displays funky colors when viewed via tmux. I wonder if this is all a tmux setting somewhere.

What shell are you all using?

Edit: Typo

Answer 11 · 2022-06-18T22:11:23.000Z

What she’ll are you all using?

ST 0.8.5 with zsh 5.9.0.1 and Tmux next-3.4

Answer 12 · 2022-06-19T10:23:10.000Z

I had annoying issues with colors in tmux + neovim in Alacritty (was fine in Kitty). Many solutions online didn't work for me but trial and error worked by setting this in .tmux.conf:

set-option -g default-terminal "xterm-256color"
set-option -ga terminal-overrides ',xterm-256color:Tc'

Not sure this relates to this issue but just in case it helps.

I get the green bar with this plug in both Alacritty (0.10.1 ) and Kitty (0.25.2) in tmux 3.3a via zsh 5.8. It seems terminal colours and consistency is really hard.

Ahh this worked for me, thanks very much.

Remember that you need to do the old

tmux kill-server

for these settings to come into effect.

Cheers,

This change to tokyo-night-tmux/src/tokyo-night-status.conf fixes the colors for me, I grabbed the colors from the screenshot via color picker.

This is the result:

17c17
< set -g status-left "#[fg=black,bg=green,bold] #S #[fg=blue,bg=default,nobold,noitalics,nounderscore]"
---
> set -g status-left "#[fg=black,bg=#41a6b5,bold] #S #[fg=blue,bg=default,nobold,noitalics,nounderscore]"
22c22,25
< set -g window-status-format "#[fg=brightwhite,bg=default,nobold,noitalics,nounderscore]   #I #W #F  "
---
> set -g window-status-format "#[fg=brightwhite,bg=#1a1b26,nobold,noitalics,nounderscore]   #I #W #F  "
>
> # Status bar background
> set -g status-bg "#1a1b26"

I think it is necessary to know if the terminal theme the owner of the repo is using or any modification he would have made or maybe hardcode all color in his config. Same applies for those who modified the terminal TokyoNight theme.

@sigugo
Is it possible for you to post that part of your tmux.conf file? I can't seem to get it working.

@DMunkei

@sigugo Is it possible for you to post that part of your tmux.conf file? I can't seem to get it working.

I have forked this for myself to incorporate the changes I needed, and to do some other housekeeping, the relevant part of my tmux.conf is quite minimalistic.

set -g default-terminal "tmux-256color"
set-option -ga terminal-overrides ",xterm-256color:Tc"

## Plugins
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tpm'
set -g @plugin "sigugo/tokyo-night-tmux"

## Plugin Manager
run '$TMUX_CONFIG_HOME/plugins/tpm/tpm'

Hmm with just that, I get a green status bar at the bottom...
