How to implement in Python powerline as segment?

[frdmn]

Hello,

I'm using https://github.com/powerline/powerline and try to add rainbarf. By default it looks like this in tmux:

When I now add the rainbarf through my `.tmux.conf, it'll look like this:

As you can see, it'll replace the complete right segement group of Powerline, but i actually want to add it as additional segment in there.

Any ideas how to do so?

(Please note, I usually have wider shell windows, so the width in the screenshots above is not the issue of this problem)

Thanks in advance.

Hi! The thing is, tmux itself will limit your right status to 40 characters (by default). Which is exactly the size of the rainbarf segment. A workaround is to add this to your ~/.tmux.conf:

set-option -g status-right-length 128

@creaktive Thank you for your reply. I just changed my .tmux.conf to:

# Rainbarf
set-option -g status-utf8 on
set -g status-right '#(rainbarf --battery --remaining --rgb --no-bright)'
set-option -g status-right-length 128

but it still looks like this:

I would love to have it somehow integrated in the right segment group of powerline.

When you use set -g status-right ..., you're overriding the Powerline with rainbarf. I don't use the Python Powerline, but in my case, the status-right setting looks like:

set-option -g status-right "#(~/tmux-powerline/powerline.sh right)"

And then Powerline is configured to handle the rainbarf segment properly. However, I have no idea how Python Powerline segments are configured.

@creaktive Ah alright. Then I assume the issue is Python Powerline.

Do you plan to make it compatible to it, since tmux-powerline is deprecated in favour of Python Powerline?

Would love to use rainbarf, but don't really go back to the non-unified powerlines.
