Status line & themes

Four themes ship with Katu:

  • katu (default) — Katu’s own palette: Jenipapo background and Palha text for a calm, high-contrast bar; Urucum marks the active window and session block; Mata and Ocre carry inactive tabs, separators, and the clock/battery. Needs a Nerd Font and a truecolor terminal.
  • shugyo — an IBM Carbon dark bar, otherwise laid out the same as katu.
  • craftzdog — a pixel-faithful clone of the classic Solarized-dark tmux statusline: session:window.pane and username in flat color blocks, hostname on the right. No icons, no font requirements.
  • minimal — a plain reverse-video bar that works on any terminal.

The four status-line themes compared: katu, shugyo, craftzdog, and minimal

By default the bar appears only when you have more than one window (status_bar = "auto"). Set the theme under [ui] theme — see Configuration.
