The status line copies kitty's tab bar (`tab_bar_style powerline`, `tab_powerline_style angled`). The current window is an accent-tinted plate with accent text. The other windows use `bg=default` and muted text, so the terminal's transparency shows through them, as with kitty's `tab_bar_background none`. That only works while every `window-status-*-style` stays `default`: inside a tab format, `bg=default` means that style's background, not the terminal's. `tmux.conf` therefore sets all of them explicitly, because a reload never clears a value a removed plugin left behind. As in kitty, a solid arrow leads into the current window and a thin one sits between two inactive windows. The arrow into the current window is a plain `U+E0B0` in `@tab-bg`, the window background. Ghostty draws that glyph as a built-in sprite that fills the whole cell even with `adjust-cell-height`. The session name is an accent pill on the far left (`status-justify left`); its arrow points straight into the first tab, so the pill and tabs read as one chain of arrows. The right side shows `COPY`/`PREFIX`/`ZOOM` flags and the hostname. The status line copies kitty's tab bar (`tab_bar_style powerline`, `tab_powerline_style angled`).

Colors are the user options `@tab-bg` (window background: the notch arrow and the session pill's text), `@tab-fg`, `@tab-active-bg`, and `@tab-active-fg`. They are a fixed cyberdream palette, the same one Ghostty, nvim, yazi, and television use, so the bar looks identical on every machine and does not depend on Omarchy. Active background = accent mixed 20% into background, the same derivation as the kitty tab bar. Colors are the user options `@tab-bg` (window background: the notch arrow and the session pill's text), `@tab-fg`, `@tab-active-bg`, and `@tab-active-fg`. They are a fixed CherryBlossom palette (the Noctalia custom palette in [prdlk/noctalia](https://github.com/prdlk/noctalia) `palettes/CherryBlossom.json`, the same one Ghostty's `cherry-blossom` theme uses), so the bar looks identical on every machine and does not depend on Omarchy. Active background = accent mixed 20% into background, the same derivation as the kitty tab bar: `#453130` from accent `#cf716f` over `#222120`.
