Add a way to customize statusline appearance on "select" action (original) (raw)

Hello,

I have been transitioning from vimfiler to fern.vim. It is very nice that fern.vim contains a window selector for open:select just like vimfiler. Works very well, solves the oil and vinegar problem. Thank you!

My query is about the style, best explained by these two screenshots, first vimfiler plugin:

Second, fern.vim plugin:

The query is about the statusline, notice in fern.vim that the bar mostly disappears replaced by the normal editing background color. On a large screen with many splits the disappearance of the normal statusline dividers makes it hard to figure out how the screen is divided. The statusline visualises the splits better.

I like the style of a and b choices. I just wish the Vim theme statusline color remained as well. Is that possible? The combination of a / b with normal statusline would look excellent with my theme.

Thanks.
