Summary

Tmux used a Solarized 256 palette while Ghostty and Fish use Catppuccin Macchiato. This aligns tmux status and pane colors with the rest of the stack.

Changes

  • Replace Solarized colourNNN styles with Catppuccin Macchiato hex values (quoted for tmux 3.0+).
  • Resolve ~/.name once into @machine_name via run-shell when config is sourced (avoids #(…) re-running on every status tick).
  • Drop prefix passthrough hint from the status bar (toggle still bound to P).

Review follow-ups

  • Quote all hex color / style options so # is not treated as a comment.
  • Set @machine_name with run-shell instead of #(shell).

Test plan

  • tmux source-file ~/.tmux.conf or reload with C-a C-r
  • Verify status bar colors match Macchiato
  • Confirm hostname/~/.name still appears on the right

Replace Solarized 256 palette with Macchiato hex colors to match
Ghostty and Fish. Cache machine name in @machine_name at config load
instead of shelling out on every status refresh.

Code Review

This pull request updates the tmux configuration (dot_tmux.conf) to transition from the Solarized 256 color scheme to Catppuccin Macchiato, and introduces a @machine_name variable for the status bar. However, several critical issues were identified in the review. First, defining @machine_name with the #(shell command) syntax causes the command to run on every status bar update rather than once; using run-shell is recommended instead. Second, tmux 3.0+ treats unquoted # characters as comments, which will truncate the hex color values and cause syntax errors. All hex color values and style options should be wrapped in quotes to ensure they are parsed correctly.

Important

The consumer version of Gemini Code Assist on GitHub is being sunset. Starting June 18, 2026, new organization installations will be blocked, and all code review activity will officially cease on July 17, 2026.

Use run-shell to set @machine_name once at config load instead of
#(…) which re-ran on every status refresh. Quote Catppuccin hex
values so tmux 3.0+ does not treat # as a comment.
