On the left status bar I see this: [0] 0:bash* with one window open. As I create more windows it adds to it like so: [0] 0:bash 1:bash- 2:bash* The right hand side shows the prompt, or command being run, but not all of it if it is too long. This is the output you requested: $ tmux show -g status-right status-right ""#22T" %H:%M %d-%b-%y" and this are the equivalent settings to yours: $ tmux show -g | grep -E 'status-[lr]' status-left "[#S]" status-left-attr none status-left-bg default status-left-fg default status-left-length 10 status-right ""#22T" %H:%M %d-%b-%y" status-right-attr none status-right-bg default status-right-fg default status-right-length 40 I don't have a ~/.tmux.conf yet. -- Regards, Mick
