Background transparency not working properly for Window Title Widgets

[lealoureiro]

I am not requesting help with my configuration and believe something is genuinely broken.

• Something is really actually broken.

Is there an existing issue outlining your problem?

• I have searched the existing issues and troubleshooting guide, and they do not solve my problem.

Describe your problem.

I'm having a small issue catppuccin for tmux when using transparency.
For Windows title widget, there is still a bit of background that is not transparent:

The interesting part is that on right side is working properly.
Any what could be or where to look at?

Paste your configuration.

set-option -g default-terminal 'screen-256color'
set-option -g terminal-overrides ',xterm-256color:RGB'

set -g status-position top
set -g prefix ^A
set -g base-index 1
set -g history-limit 1000000
set -g renumber-windows on
set -g set-clipboard on
set -g default-terminal "${TERM}"
set -g mouse on


set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tpm'
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tmux-sensible'
set -g @plugin 'catppuccin/tmux'

run '~/.config/tmux/plugins/tpm/tpm'

# Override status bar background for transparency (must be after plugin load)
set -g status-bg default
set -g status-style bg=default

I managed to fix it by changing the logic how separators are formatted:

main...lealoureiro:catppuccin-tmux:main

@lealoureiro I solved the issue by reducing the the window configurations to a minimum. Some stuff is already covered by the default config based on the setting set -g @catppuccin_window_status_style "rounded".

I basically went from this config:

set -g @catppuccin_window_status_style "rounded"
set -g @catppuccin_window_default_text " #W"
set -g @catppuccin_window_current_text " #W#{?window_zoomed_flag,(),}"
set -g @catppuccin_window_left_separator ""
set -g @catppuccin_window_right_separator " "
set -g @catppuccin_window_middle_separator " █"
set -g @catppuccin_window_number_position "right"
set -g @catppuccin_window_default_fill "number"
set -g @catppuccin_window_current_fill "number"

to this config:

set -g @catppuccin_window_status_style "rounded"
set -g @catppuccin_window_default_text "#W"
set -g @catppuccin_window_current_text "#W#{?window_zoomed_flag,(),}"
set -g @catppuccin_window_number_position "right"

Combined with your hint to apply the default background settings after loading the plugins via tpm, I finally got it working. Thanks!

It was basically only some bug which i introduced because I overwrote the working default. For you it looks the same. Maybe it helps :)
