tab_bar_color_mode
On this page
tab_bar_color_mode = "Off"#
Controls built-in per-tab background coloring in the tab bar.
Possible values are:
"Off": disable built-in tab color assignment"Hash": deterministically hash each tab identity to a generated color"Assign": persist first-seen tab identities and assign new colors to stay distinct from prior assignments
When assigning colors, wakterm keys each tab by:
- the explicit tab title, if set
- otherwise the right-most segment of the active pane cwd
- otherwise the effective title
"Assign" persists these key-to-color assignments across sessions.
Generated colors are only applied when your format-tab-title callback has
not already set explicit foreground/background colors for the tab.
Use tab_bar_color_intensity to adjust how much generated tab backgrounds are dimmed in the active, hover, and inactive states.
The default is "Off".
