Tmux Minimono

Minimalist monochrome theme for Tmux. Note that there is a companion theme for Vim and Neovim available here.

Features

• No bullshit: It shows you a tab line, your hostname, and the tmux session. No powerline, calendars, system monitors, etc.
• Monochrome: It only uses the terminal background color, as well as black, brightblack, white, and brightwhite. This makes it compatible with basically every terminal color scheme.
• Focus: It switches between white and brightwhite for the terminal foreground color when you change your focus.
• Transparency: It does not override the terminal background color, making it compatible with terminal transparency.

Quick start

To install via the Tmux Plugin Manager (TPM), add this to your tmux.conf:

set -g @plugin 'jabirali/tmux-minimono'

For optimal results, your terminal colors for "background" and "black" should be set to different values even if you don't use transparency in your terminal. The color black is used for the statusline and pane borders.

Other programs

Many console programs by default don't respect your terminal colors, including the background color (ruining transparency effects), and the 16 ANSI colors (making it complex to get all your applications to look consistent). Here are some themes that do work well with your terminal colors, making them good candidates for combination with the Minimono tmux theme:

• vim: The Minimono and Dim themes respect your colorscheme.
• fzf: Set FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS=--color=16 to use an ANSI colorscheme.
• bat: Set BAT_THEME=ansi-dark to use a compatible ANSI colorscheme.
• fish: See this suggestion for a decent ANSI colorscheme.
