setw -g window-status-format "#[fg=white]#[bg=black] *#I #[bg=black]#[fg=lightgreen] #W "
setw -g window-status-current-format "#[bg=black]#[fg=yellow] *#I #[bg=black]#[fg=cyan] [#W] "

Now use normal key-bindings

• Ctrl+a % ( vertical split )
• Ctrl+a x ( kill/close window )
• Ctrl+a d ( detach/hide tmux )
• Ctrl+a 2 ( each number represents each tab )
