  • From your screenshot you are editing ./.tmux.conf but it isn't clear what directory you are in. Can you verify that you are in your home directory and not accidentally somewhere else? Commented Mar 12, 2014 at 4:13

  • Your configuration is working (look at the changed status line). It's different from the screenshot because (1) the screenshot is taken from another program tmux-powerline and (2) that's not the default behavior. You need to add the config from the link in your quote. Commented Mar 12, 2014 at 6:10
  • Ok. I've already pointed (1) out in my question, and (2) I don't really know where/how to add the config (which is installed automatically with the program in ~/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/powerline/config_files/themes/tmux/default.json and I copied to ~/config/powerline/themes/tmux/default.json as explained here).

  • Thank you for your contribution! I've tried airline and quite a few suggestions; for me the real issue is just file name, so something simple such as the solution with the biggest code sample here was quite sufficient. As you've found out I've witnessed how something like tmux can also multiplex the difficulties associated with the terminal configuration. Commented Mar 13, 2014 at 0:54
