tmux

tmux

Install using tpm

If you are a tpm user, you can install the theme and keep up to date by adding the following to your .tmux.conf file:

set -g @plugin 'dracula/tmux'

Add any configuration options below this line in your tmux config.

Install with Nix

If you're using home-manager, an example config would look similar to this: Then run home-manager switch, the Activating theme section doesn't apply here.

programs.tmux = {
	enable = true;
	clock24 = true;
	plugins = with pkgs.tmuxPlugins; [
		sensible
		yank
		{
			plugin = dracula;
			extraConfig = ''
				set -g @dracula-show-battery false
				set -g @dracula-show-powerline true
				set -g @dracula-refresh-rate 10
			'';
		}
	];

	extraConfig = ''
		set -g mouse on
	'';
};

Activating theme

1. Make sure run -b '~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/tpm' is at the bottom of your .tmux.conf
2. Run tmux
3. Use the tpm install command: prefix + I (default prefix is ctrl+b)
