Right prompt username color when root

[Kidlike]

Is it possible to change the color of the username display when it's root ?

Instead of adding text next to the username like tmux_conf_theme_root.

Maybe change the behavior of tmux_conf_theme_root_fg/bg or create other variables similar to this ?

Hello @Kidlike,

Currently it's not possible. But I'll figure out a way to do so.

Hey @Kidlike 👋

I still don't know how to generalize it, but I gave it 5 minutes today 🎁

Here's what you can do in your ~/.tmux.conf.local copy:

tmux_conf_theme_status_right='#{prefix}#{pairing}#{synchronized} #{?battery_status, #{battery_status},}#{?battery_vbar, #{battery_vbar},}#{?battery_percentage, #{battery_percentage},} , %R , %d %b | #{?#(cut -c3- ~/.tmux.conf | sh -s _root #{pane_tty} #D),#[fg=#ffff00]#[bold]#[blink],}#{username}#[inherit] | #{hostname_ssh} '

#{?#(cut -c3- ~/.tmux.conf | sh -s _root #{pane_tty} #D),#[fg=#ffff00]#[bold]#[blink],}#{username}#[inherit] will make the username bold, yellow and blinking when root.
Please note you can't use #[fg=#ffff00,bold,blink] as my parser is not robust enough 🤷‍♂️

Hope that helps!

Changed the line, and now I have a blinking red "root" on a yellow background, while the hostname is white and the username yellow on green :

....#[fg=#d70000]#[bold]#[blink]#[bg=##ffff00],}#{username}#[inherit] | #[fg=#e4e4e4]#{hostname}'

Status right:

tmux_conf_theme_status_right_fg='#e4e4e4,#ffff00,#000000'        # white, yellow, black
tmux_conf_theme_status_right_bg='#080808,#107132,#107132'   # dark gray, green, green
tmux_conf_theme_status_right_attr='none,bold,bold'

I think this is a great idea, and is also related to #189

Closing. The solution in #321 is more elegant.
