[ Sovled ]tmux's status bar can't change the windows title dynamicly

Hi guys!

tmux's default status bar ,can change the window title dynamicly, when I use some command apps like vim,htop.

but when I change the config file ,it can't do that , I want to know what the default status-left define?

some configs from google all use the #[default] ，but it can't change the title,either!:(

this is my config:

175 #set -g status-left '#[fg=green,bold][#H#[fg=green,bold] #[fg=green,bold]#S]#[fg=yellow,bold]#[default]'
176 #set -g status-right '#[fg=cyan,bold] %m/%d %H:%M#[default]'

thanks for your help!!!:D

Hi,

You need to tell tmux to change name automaticly:

set-option -g set-titles on                                                 
set-option -g set-titles-string '#S:#I.#P #W'
set-window-option -g automatic-rename on
