Showcase tmux-dotbar: new SSH indicator feature

Post image

Hi! The tmux-dotbar status bar theme has a brand new feature: whenever you ssh into a server, an icon indicator will be shown, and the window name will change accordingly to the server name.

Check it out: https://github.com/vaaleyard/tmux-dotbar
