Sometimes after having been away from my computer for a while, when I open tmux all the windows in a session have sort of a background highlight:
Once I cycle through them, it disappears, and only the active window has an asterisk:
Why does this happen, and is it possible fix it so the window labels never have a highlighted background?

From `man tmux':
Since you didn't provide your
.tmux.conf
, it is hard to tell what triggers the alert. TryC-b : set-option -g monitor-activity off; set-option -g monitor-silence 0; set-option -g bell-action none
and test if the problem persists. You could also forcefully disable the highlighting by addingwindow-status-activity-style none
andwindow-status-bell-style none' to your
.tmux.conf`.
