I am trying to make my statusline look fancy by using powerline symbols. My eventual hope is to create a nice informative statusline which emulates the appearance of powerline for tmux.
So far I can print the symbols but I was wondering if there was a trick for using escape sequences to colour in the different segments of the line created by the separator glyphs.
I am pasting my statusline from the vifmrc, but the symbols might not render correctly. It's a little rough as I'm in the process of figuring out my scheme, but it should illustrate what I'm trying to do.
set statusline=" %-26t %= %A %7u:%-7g %-5s %d "
Ideally I would like to use ansi escape sequences like one would for a bash PS1. If not, is there a way to use cterm here?
Thanks!
