Bug: status bar don't have a bottom padding or space between prompt

[nivethan-me]

Describe the bug

i have a simple tmux configuration. after adding dracula/tmux and set the status bar position at the top i realized there is no bottom padding/space.

following is my tmux.config file

# set tmux prefix as ctrl + space
set -g prefix C-Space

# vim like bindings for navigation
setw -g mode-keys vi
bind-key h select-pane -L
bind-key j select-pane -D
bind-key k select-pane -U
bind-key l select-pane -R

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

# dracula setup
set -g @dracula-show-powerline true
set -g @dracula-show-flags true
set -g @dracula-show-left-icon session
set -g status-position top
set -g @dracula-left-icon-padding 20 

set -g @dracula-plugins "time ram-usage"

# Initialize TMUX plugin manager (keep this line at the very bottom of tmux.conf)
run '~/.tmux/plugins/tpm/tpm'

Hm, this is an interesting issue. I wasn't even aware that the status bar could be moved to the top of the screen. I cannot immediately find anything in the docs to adjust padding around the bars. One page I found says that it can be adjusted by changing font size, but I am not sure I buy that. I'll keep looking in the docs.

thanks for the reply @ethancedwards8 i don't like to change the font size but i tried to add a multiline status on tmux and leaved the second line status as empty, but i was unable to do the same with dracula/tmux though

I used the following settings to produce a gap between the prompt and the status-bar.

set -g status 2
set -g status-format[1] '#[fill=#282A36]'

[karlbateman]

@Theoreticallyhugo You want me to add a similar setup to the docs?

@karlbateman yes, if you have the time to write a nice snippet about it, i think it would be appreciated
