Hi, I found that there are issues with the status bar when scripts are required to be executed (like the cpu status module). I am not sure if this is a TMUX or TPM or catppuccin-tmux issue. For example, if I use the CPU status module, after the initial start up with tmux new-session , the CPU status does not appear.

I have to reload the config with tmux source ~/.config/tmux/tmux.conf to make the CPU status appear.

The workaround I applied was to run:

tmux new \; set-hook -g session-created "source ~/.config/tmux/tmux.conf"

The suggested method to run catppuccin.tmux first did not work IF a custom module is applied in tmux.conf. For example, if tmux.conf contains the following lines:

%hidden MODULE_NAME="ram"
set -ogq    @catppuccin_ram_icon "#{l:#{ram_icon}} "
set -ogqF   @catppuccin_ram_color "#{@thm_blue}"
set -ogq    @catppuccin_ram_text "#{l:#{ram_percentage}}"
source -F "~/.tmux/plugins/tmux/utils/status_module.conf"

Running catppuccin.tmux before setting status-right does not seem to work on my macOS system. My status bar definition is:

set -g status-right "#{E:@catppuccin_status_application}#{E:@catppuccin_status_session}"
set -agF status-right "#{E:@catppuccin_status_cpu}#{E:@catppuccin_status_ram}"
