Thanks. I did changed some colours to mix well with PaperColor haha

after upgrading to tmux 2.9 I had to change some lines:
set -g message-command-style fg=black,bg=cyan
set -g message-style fg=black,bg=cyan
set -g pane-active-border-style fg=cyan,bg=cyan
set -g pane-border-style fg=cyan
setw -g window-status-style fg=yellow,none
setw -g window-status-activity-style fg=green,bg=black,none
setw -g window-status-style bg=black

Any option you have ending with -fg -bg -attr has to be changed to one operator -style fg=color,bg=color,none
more info here https://github.com/tmux/tmux/wiki/FAQ#how-do-i-translate--fg--bg-and--attr-options-into--style-options

Awesome design, Thank you

This theme is awesome!

Thank you so much! I've been using this config for a long time and loved it

Thank you @sagittaros for the new config too, saved me the hassle of fixing it myself

Updated config -> https://github.com/rajanand02/dotfiles/blob/master/tmux/tmux.conf

the character '' to me is displayed as '?', do you know guys why?

the character '' to me is displayed as '?', do you know guys why?

@giannigdev me too i think is something related to the unicode characters...

@giannigdev i solved the issue, install powerline fonts and it works.

Great theme, thanks for sharing.

This is awesome!
