Bug: [Dracula TMUX theme wont load]

[hsheikhali1]

Describe the bug

I followed the instructions on installing the theme but after hitting the key combination for tpm I don't see the theme load. I just get the default tmux bar.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Attempt to install dracula theme
2. reload tmux

Expected behavior

I expect the tmux theme to load.

Screenshots

System

• OS: MacOS Sonoma 14.2.1
• Tmux Version: 3.3a

Please post your entire Tmux config. It is important to note that the Dracula theme is mostly incompatible with other themes or plugins. If you are using them, you will most likely encounter issues.

hi i dont know if this issue was already solved, but when i try to install this theme using tpm it doesnt initiate the installing of the dracula theme.
i can see this when i issue the prefix + U and when i search the plugins folder

cat ~/.tmux.conf
unbind r
bind r source-file ~/.tmux.conf

set -g default-terminal "tmux-256color"
set -ag terminal-overrides ",xterm-256color:RGB"
set -g prefix C-s
set -g mouse on

set-option -g status-position top

# List of plugins
set -g @plugin 'tmux-plugins/tpm'
set -g @plugin 'dracula/tmux'

run -b '~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/tpm'

I got the same issue! Since i updated to macOS 15 though - but might not be 100% related.
I also don't have the ability to use the shortcuts for updating/installation.
But it also doesn't pull the tmux theme (or others).

my config.

I had a similar problem. It turned out that I already had a theme in ~/.tmux/plugins/tmux belonging to a different theme (nord) and Dracula is trying to use the same directory. Because it existed, tpm wouldn't install. The solution was to remove the directory and re-run <prefix> I.

[spkis]

Doesn't help, but seems independant from the theme.
I remove, install and then update, always:
"tmux" update fail
| Already up to date.
| fatal: Cannot rebase onto multiple branches.
"tmux-yank" update success

The task cominnations won't work anymore either.

[spkis]

Was able to get this to work now, with forcing in tmux config:

set-environment -g PATH "/opt/homebrew/bin:/bin:/usr/bin"
  run-shell "~/.tmux/tpm/tmux/dracula.tmux"

I had the same issue coming from the Catppuccin theme and to be honest, the simplest way was to delete the content of the plugins folder and let TPM reinstall all the plugins. Everything's fine now.

This the best solution that I have found.

Well, I think there was still a bug with latest MacOS beta since I was not able to just “reinstall” it. But it is working now – I added manually the PATH Environment stuff that helped 😊 Ricardo Kissinger Head of IT Infrastructure and IT Security IT Infra+Sec [juniz_Energy_balanced_blue.jpg] ***@***.***<https://www.linkedin.com/company/juniz/> ju:niz Energy GmbH Einsteinring 43 | 85609Aschheim H: +49 (151) 150 46 204 E-Mail: ***@***.*** Web: www.juniz.com Sie können hier ***@***.***/> auch direkt einen Termin buchen oder mit mir in Teams ***@***.***> chatten. ju:niz Energy GmbH Sitz der Gesellschaft: Aschheim AG München, HRB 277043 USt-ID: DE 299 706 389 Geschäftsführung: Markus Binding | Dr. Anton Eckschlager | Gabriele Schmiedel From: Ethan Edwards ***@***.***> Date: Tuesday, 8.
