`tmux_conf_theme_left_separator_XXX` values.

- **I'm using Bash On Windows (WSL), colors and Powerline look are broken.**

There is currently a [bug][1681] in the new console powering Bash On Windows
preventing text attributes (bold, underscore, ...) to combine properly with
colors. The workaround is to search your `~/.tmux.conf.local` copy and
replace attributes with `'none'`.

Also, until Window's console replaces its GDI based render with a DirectWrite
one, Powerline symbols will be broken.

The alternative is to use the [Mintty terminal for WSL][wsltty].

The Bash On Windows terminal that ships with WSL distros has problems
displaying certain text attributes and powerline code points. It's highly
recommended to use the [Windows Terminal][microsoft-terminal] application
instead (also installable from the [Microsoft Store][microsoft-store]).
