Turn off color inversion for marked pane in tmux

Question

It appears that in tmux, when I mark a pane using prefix-m, the borders of that pane are displayed with inverted colors. By this I mean the foreground color is used for the background and the background color is used for the foreground.

I can't find any way to turn this off -- man tmux seems very sparse when it comes to information about marked panes. Is there a way to disable it?

Answer 1

Looking at the source-code, apparently not. The action proceeds unconditionally through these points:

• cmd_select_pane_exec calls
• server_redraw_window_borders which does
• c->flags |= CLIENT_BORDERS, and that is checked in
• server_client_check_redraw, which then calls
• screen_redraw_screen, with its draw_borders parameter true, so it calls
• screen_redraw_draw_borders

and in the last, it applies some style information but unconditionally reverses colors.
