How can I get the left window status to look like the right status?

[bendavis78]

I like the "rounded" look, but I want the left to look like the right (mirrored):

So it would have something like: [window-name]num)

Is this possible? I can't seem to find the right arrangement of symbols

I've got it looking similar with:

set -g @catppuccin_flavor "mocha"
set -g @catppuccin_window_status_style "none"
run ~/code/github.com/catppuccin/tmux/catppuccin.tmux

set -g window-status-format "#[fg=#{@thm_fg},bg=#{@thm_surface_0}] #W #[bg=#{@thm_overlay_2},fg=#{@thm_crust}] #I"
# Right facing half circle, foreground overlay 2, background matches status-style
set -ag window-status-format "#[fg=#{@thm_overlay_2},bg=#{@thm_mantle}]\uE0B4"


set -g window-status-current-format "#[fg=#{@thm_fg},bg=#{@thm_surface_1}] #W #[bg=#{@thm_mauve},fg=#{@thm_crust}] #I"
# Right facing half circle, foreground mauve, background matches status-style
set -ag window-status-current-format "#[fg=#{@thm_mauve},bg=#{@thm_mantle}]\uE0B4"

You will have to make a decision when it comes to highlighting current vs non-current windows. The status modules all have the same background for the text portions as they don't need to contrast with each other. So play around with different colors and backgrounds.

To remove the separator between windows: set -g window-status-separator ""

You will likely run into limitations that tmux has w.r.t. styling if you want it to look seamless. I.e. there will be an annoying background on the semicircle that you can't really get rid of. Good luck!

Hey by any chance, did you mean getting rid of background of the half-circle? Because I just spend 2 hours getting rid of it. So just curious if it would be useful for others.

@Nevoral-Leos The original question was how to get rid of the gaps and make it look seamless

Thanks! I've achieved similar using @catppuccin_* options.

set -g @catppuccin_window_status_style "custom"
set -g @catppuccin_window_left_separator "#[fg=#{@_ctp_status_bg}]#[none]"
set -g @catppuccin_window_left_separator ""
set -g @catppuccin_window_text ' #W'
set -g @catppuccin_window_middle_separator " "
set -g @catppuccin_window_right_separator "#[fg=#{@_ctp_status_bg},reverse]#[none]"
set -g @catppuccin_window_number_position 'right'
set -g @catppuccin_window_flags "icon"
set -g @catppuccin_window_current_text ' #W'

But getting them "flush" like the right side is challenging.

I haven't found a solution to getting them flush. What does it look like when you set the window-status-separator option?

Also don't hesitate to share in the share your config thread!
