Starship and fastfetch propmt in tmux look strange

NaN · 13 November 2024 17:56

This is a pretty strange issue and I am not sure what to even search in the internet to resolve this… I will post pics to try and explain my problem.

How my terminal normally looks,

from inside tmux,

I am not sure why my fastfetch and starship prompt become blocky like this…
I have similar starship + fastfetch + fish/bash setup in wsl which works fine so my guess is something to do with foot itself then?

Edit:
No not foot’s problem even alacritty does the same…

does anybody have any idea what this weird effect is even called so that I can search the net for any results…

Thanks

can you try by changing the fonts to
JetbrainsMonoNL
in alacritty which is set by default in foot , maybe that can solve this

I don’t have any idea of ‘tmux’
but I think it can be due to lack of sixel support in tmux and alacritty ,as a second guess

tried and same result… I tried using kitty as well this time to no luck.

just in case,
my tmux config,

# enter copy mode in vi mode
setw -g mode-keys vi
set-option -g escape-time 0

# Start selection with 'v' in copy mode
bind-key -T copy-mode-vi v send-keys -X begin-selection

# Copy selected text with 'y'
bind-key -T copy-mode-vi y send-keys -X copy-selection

# Move between panes (tiles) using SUPER + h/j/k/l
bind -n M-H select-pane -L
bind -n M-J select-pane -D
bind -n M-K select-pane -U
bind -n M-L select-pane -R

# Move between windows using SUPER + 1/2/3...
bind -n M-! new-window -n 1  \; select-window -t 1
bind -n M-@ new-window -n 2  \; select-window -t 2
bind -n M-# new-window -n 3  \; select-window -t 3
bind -n M-$ new-window -n 4  \; select-window -t 4
bind -n M-% new-window -n 5  \; select-window -t 5
bind -n M-^ new-window -n 6  \; select-window -t 6
bind -n M-& new-window -n 7  \; select-window -t 7
bind -n M-* new-window -n 8  \; select-window -t 8
bind -n M-( new-window -n 9  \; select-window -t 9
bind -n M-) new-window -n 10 \; select-window -t 10

# Move left/right between windows with SUPER + left/right
bind -n M-left  select-window -p
bind -n M-right select-window -n

# Move the active pane to another window (like ALT SHIFT + [number])
bind -n M-> command-prompt -p "join pane from:"  "join-pane -s '%%'"
bind -n M-< command-prompt -p "send pane to:"  "join-pane -t '%%'"

# Unbind default Ctrl + h and Ctrl + v to stop automatic splitting
unbind -T root C-h
unbind -T root C-v

# Set vertical split to 'v' after pressing 'Ctrl + b'
bind v split-window -h

# Set horizontal split to 'h' after pressing 'Ctrl + b'
bind h split-window -v

# close pane
bind -n M-q kill-pane
# close window
bind -n M-Q kill-window

# Resize panes with ctrl + arrow keys
bind -n C-S-Left  resize-pane -L 5
bind -n C-S-Right resize-pane -R 5
bind -n C-S-Up    resize-pane -U 5
bind -n C-S-Down  resize-pane -D 5

ok finally found the solution for me,
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67929676/tmux-powerline-symbols-not-rendering-properly-despite-having-proper-fonts-instal

not sure why this works properly in WSL not in my own linux machine but oh well I got workarounds now.
