First of all I want to thank you all for reaching 200 stars on GitHub! Never thought that this plugin will gain such a popularity. I really appreciate all of your feedback and thoughts.

Since I've seen some of your awesome setups in some screenshots in issues, I'd like to encourage you to post and share your configurations to spread some inspiration and creativity.

Here's mine, I am new to Zellij and it's a WIP:

Panel is drawn at the top, I thought it can be confusing with Neovim's statusline.
Other modes get other colors:

*Edit: Forgot to rename tab 4, it's with a floating pane.

Maybe you can help me with one minor issue: you can see that Nerd icons in the tab names (for floating, sync etc.) are sometimes not centered with the rest of the font. Not sure what is causing it, may be a font or kitty setting affecting this? Have not looked into it much, I am open to ideas.

Terminal: Kitty
Font: Monolisa + Nerd font Symbols
Colours: Catppuccin Macchiato

If there is interest I can share the file, but as I said, I am not finished yet.

[hmajid2301]

This looks sick, I was looking for this exactly!!!! Thanks for sharing.

EDIT:

I tweaked yours above to make it more like the tmux catppuccin status bar I had.

Thank you for the inspiration 🫶.

For anyone interested, I made a colour scheme friendly version of this setup using the recent update with named colours.

I have also since migrated to use base16 from stylix, https://gitlab.com/hmajid2301/dotfiles/-/blob/main/modules/home/cli/multiplexers/zellij/default.nix?ref_type=heads#L165-217 (if anyone is interested)

pane size=2 borderless=true {

Hey, your work looks great, is pane size=2 something special?

[wiraki]

pane size=2 borderless=true {

Hey, your work looks great, is pane size=2 something special?

It makes it so there's a line gap between the Zellij status bar at the top and the content of the terminal.
You can try switching to size=1, it works, but you will see that the content of the terminal goes right next to the status bar and looks, imo, worse.

Little bit hard to share when using font specific icons. But here it is.

• default.kdl is what you need.
• added minimal.kdl as well

[starkovv]

Hello!

I’ve created a new layout for Zjstatus called “tmux2” (https://github.com/starkovv/tmux2-zjstatus-layout) which features a modern, solarized dark theme. This layout offers a clean and informative status bar with elements such as the host OS icon, session name, and dynamic mode indicators. It enhances the existing “tmux” style layout by providing a more visually appealing and functional design.

I believe this layout could be a great addition to the existing examples in your repository. I’ve tested it extensively and found it to work best with the solarized dark terminal color theme.

Hi
I created a theme for Gruvbox Dark

I just updated my Catppuccin and Gruvbox themes.

Since @dj95 implemented #75, which makes it easier to create and maintain themes with color aliases, I've updated my themes with more flavors

You can find them here (https://github.com/merikan/.dotfiles/tree/main/config/zellij/themes/zjstatus)

[joaopritter]

I'm a big fan of adding info to my Gnome title bar so I thought I'd find a way to bring some of my favorites to zjstatus, this is how it looks so far:

Just added some shell scripts which echo the data when run, might not be the best way to implement this but I love the end result! Weather icon changes according to the current weather code (sourced from open-meteo), cpu usage and ram allocation update with the command interval, music data and player status (playing/ paused) sourced from playerctl, pretty sure it can be used with any media player that implements MPRIS interface (tested with Spotify, Firefox and Cider (Apple Music).

I'll leave my configs in the replies for anyone interested in using it, for any improvements made on this please do let me know cause I'd love to see this style of setup evolve!

Thanks a lot for the plugin! Really adds up to the experience of using zellij!

[nstetter]

you can do jq -r '.loc' , to avoid having to use sed to remove the quotes

[rodrigopim]

Someone can explain the use of notifications in zjstatus? What notifications come in there? (Sorry for asking here)

[dj95]

The ones you send to zjstatus via the pipe feature.

It can be useful of you want to retrieve notifications that a command has finished.

[rodrigopim]

Thanks. I tried use pipe but zellij opens floating pane.

command: zellij pipe --plugin file:~/.config/zellij/plugins/zjstatus.wasm --name Testing -- "Notification test"

[dj95]

You should omit the plugin, such that the message is directed to all plugins.

And follow the protocol, like described in the wiki.

[rodrigopim]

Very cool!

I was using the Zellij Manual syntax at https://zellij.dev/documentation/zellij-pipe. Thanks for showing the way
