I'd prefer to invest in getting rid of an external dependency and just using this one-liner instead: https://github.com/tmux/tmux/wiki/FAQ#what-is-the-best-way-to-display-the-load-average-why-no-l

I actually don't know why https://github.com/jamesoff/tmux-loadavg even exists. In fact we shouldn't be using it at all since it hardcodes color values that are not catppuccin: https://github.com/jamesoff/tmux-loadavg/blob/91319eff74ee677efb77c882dcc8e3b8780dc3a2/scripts/display_load.sh#L38

Ok, I agree. Makes sense....

However, I actually started yesterday with putting https://github.com/catppuccin/tmux/blob/main/docs/tutorials/02-custom-status.md in my .tmux.conf so I had something like the following

## catppuccin/tmux
set -g @catppuccin_flavor 'mocha'
set -g @catppuccin_window_status_style "rounded"
set -g @catppuccin_window_current_text "#{window_name}"
set -g @catppuccin_window_text "#{window_name}"
# the following is needed as tpm only runs *.tmux in  ~/.tmux/plugins/*/
run ~/.tmux/plugins/catppuccin/tmux/catppuccin.tmux


set -g status-right-length 100
set -g status-left-length 100
set -g status-left ""
set -g status-right "#{E:@catppuccin_status_directory}"
#set -agF status-right "#{E:@catppuccin_status_load_new}"
#set -agF status-right "#{E:@catppuccin_status_cpu}"
#set -agF status-right "#{E:@catppuccin_status_network_bandwidth}"
# In ~/.tmux.conf, after the catppuccin plugin has been loaded.


%hidden MODULE_NAME="load_new"
set -ogq "@catppuccin_${MODULE_NAME}_icon" " "
set -ogqF "@catppuccin_${MODULE_NAME}_color" "#{E:@thm_pink}"
set -ogq "@catppuccin_${MODULE_NAME}_text" "#(uptime|awk '{split(substr($0, index($0, "load")), a, ":"); print a[2]})'"
source "~/.tmux/plugins/catppuccin/tmux/utils//status_module.conf"

set -ag status-right "#{E:@catppuccin_status_load_new}"

But this unfortunately doesn't work. I also tried with hardcoding MODULE_NAME directly in the set statements and also with a hardcoded _text but I couldn't get it to work.

What did I do wrong?
