Hey guys, I'm back in Linux after 10+ yrs and this site...Great stuff! I need help w/TMUX, as it has really helped out w/SSD testing and debug, even though I'd only use it occasionally. But now I'm at Ricoh, and I've got 20+ dev machines to use. I need help with where to place my tmux.conf or how to set environment (Linux) so I can source (source ~/.tmux.conf) when I've done mods to that file...Please can you help??

invalid option: mode-mouse
invalid option: window-status-current-bg
invalid option: window-status-current-fg
invalid option: window-status-current-attr

Looks like some of these option names have changed over time. For example, window-status-current-bg looks like:

set-window-option -g window-status-current-style bg=default
