Given the following byobu (with tmux backend) status bar, how can the window activity notification colors be adjusted? Since they are currently the same as the "active" window, it is difficult to tell the difference.

Sure! You can set it like this, in your ~/.byobu/.tmux.conf:

set -g window-status-activity-bg red

For a complete list of color options, refer to tmux.1 and specifically its OPTIONS section

Full disclosure: I am the author and maintainer of Byobu.

    Beautiful, and with a `tmux source-file .byobu/.tmux.conf` and I was off and running. – JRD Oct 04 '13 at 15:53
  • Dustin, on a related subject, can byobu be setup so that it alternates activity and silence colors? So as to monitor a window where a process is constantly running, only sometimes things happen, sometimes not. Am I making sense? – yPhil Aug 01 '14 at 13:59
