Extend :tmux notifier with use of tmux display-message and options to configure them

[matthijsgroen]

The current :tmux notifier implementation was too limited that it only colored the left status bar. I want to see a message, so updated the notifier to also use display-message when configured. I has extended configurable options, so 'powerline' users can pimp there messages :-)

Ok for you @netzpirat? (I don't know/use :tmux)

[netzpirat]

I know but currently don't use tmux, so we have to rely on the experience of @matthijsgroen.

What it basically does (easy to test) when in tmux

tmux display-message 'hello world'

This will show for a short period of time (configurable by tmux set display-time) an message instead of the statusbar. after the period the statusbar returns. this is all standard tmux behaviour, and ideal for notifications such as those of Guard. The user can get the message history by using Ctrl+b ~ (where Ctrl+b is your key to activate tmux).

I think a quick scan of the code will give a general idea what it does.

Thanks a lot for your detailed information. I've added it straight to the README.

[matthijsgroen]

Ah I'm afraid that is not fully correct, since my code will set that display-time for the user, it overwrites custom settings. I will refork and update the readme in a pull request ok? (sorry for the late response, I was away for the weekend)

[thibaudgg]

Ok, for the new pull request. Thanks!

[matthijsgroen]

When will the rubygem be published on rubygems.org?

[netzpirat]

This has been already published with 1.4.1

[matthijsgroen]

hmm weird, rubygems is still listing 1.4.0 as the latest version http://rubygems.org/gems/guard/versions

[netzpirat]

You're right, somehow the "release" wasn't released at all. I reverted the 1.4.1 release commit and will release a new version today or tomorrow.
