How to config byobu/tmux so that window names do not overlap with byoby status line

Asked by hangelwen

Hi,

I switched from Screen to tmux recently. When I used Screen, window names(status line from Screen) and the byobu notification regions are on two lines. The bottom line shows window names. But when I use tmux as backend, these two status lines overlap with each other and the notifications from byobu are covered by window names. Anyone know how can I solve this problem? Thanks very much!

That's a tough one. Tmux only supports one line, so we're a bit more compressed.

I'm handling that in my byobu sessions by doing 3 things:
 1) I'm making my terminal window bigger (even maximizing it sometimes)
 2) With the excellent new Ubuntu monospace font, I'm using a smaller font size (ctrl -)
 3) Finally, I'm not really using multiple windows as much anymore; I'm using vertical and horizontal splits! Byobu has some awesome keybindings for splits; try ctrl-f2 and shift-f2 to split, and then shift-up/down/right/left to move around

Enjoy!
