Show HN: a Rust Based CLI tool 'imgcatr' for displaying images
It's not really that strange that tmux doesn't support sixels. It's quite a bit more complicated and resource-intensive than ANSI Escape Codes or ncurses.
It might be fine for local[1] multiplexing but over the network it is not as fast as even something like VNC or RDP.

Zellij – A terminal workspace with batteries included (tmux alternative)
After having spent too much time trying to get the simple https://github.com/csdvrx/sixel-tmux/ features into mainline tmux (last November https://github.com/tmux/tmux/issues/3753), maybe it'd be easier to jump ship as use zellij?
Could anyone offer recommendations on "riced" zellij configuations, or just a demo where it shows doing with (say charts of disk usage per folder), watching a movie with mpv + keeping a vim to type on?

I Just Wanted Emacs to Look Nice – Using 24-Bit Color in Terminals
Your approach looks very sound!
A fork of terminfo may be needed if the description of modern terminal capabilities can't be added -- or if old and deprecated attributes repurposed for that job (like in your padding example): if you're automating the correction/creation of terminfos in ~/, IMHO, it may be better to piggyback on tic as much as possible.
Anyway, to backport modern terminal descriptions to legacy programs, creating correct binary terminfos in ~/.terminfo seems the best practice. You can also invent new TERM. When I wanted to have italics etc about everywhere, personally that's just what I did for sixel-tmux: https://github.com/csdvrx/sixel-tmux/?tab=readme-ov-file#ste... : just declare a new $TERM you know to be right, and use that in the apps that let you use a little logic in their configuration file
I do that in my .vimrc:
" If Vim doesn't know the escape codes to switch to italic

Terminal Graphics Protocol
You can have that functionality integrated within tmux with https://github.com/csdvrx/sixel-tmux/ : if you terminal doesn't support sixels, you'll at least see something close to the picture they represent.
Then of course it's not pixel-perfect unless you make your terminal very large (like 800x240 instead of 80x24) but something being better than nothing, I'd argue it's for the better if all you can do is 80x24 with no pictures otherwise.

Are We Sixel Yet
See also rant[1] of sixel-tmux author.
> It's 2021, and we should be able to do litterate programming in the console, with full graphical support.
Yeah. We are stuck cosplaying computers from the sixties.
What's even funnier, even if you find a modern terminal emulator that supports features like ligatures, graphics, emoji etc. you still will be blocked by tmux. Sure - not everyone needs tmux. If you never work on remote machines, you can live without it.
But I work on remote machines all the time. I also use Kakoune text editor that defers window management to external tools (WM or tmux, but to be honest, tmux is much better). Zellij is more of r/unixporn bait than usable tool for now. So I'm stuck with text only interface.

> Some terminal emulators have support for images, which fit most of the use cases here but not the one I described.
That what sixel-tmux is for, when you're in a hurry and needs images with your current terminal emulator: https://github.com/csdvrx/sixel-tmux

Anyone know a Prefixed based terminal emulator that supports Image Preview of some sort? Tmux style keybindings, for splits, tabs, and sessions
Maybe tmux-sixel does that tmux sixel

Switched Back to Windows After a Year and a Half of Linux
If you want some crazy shit like sixels or italics and ligatures, try msys2 that's what I've used for the screenshot. The only thing comparable on Linux in term of features is xterm and, that's another story.

What I'm thinking now is you may just want to solve this with the nuclear option like this guy did - https://old.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/f4tw3k/cannot_open_any_microsoft_store_apps_windows/ A pain in the ass, but most 3rd-party applications can export settings, and a program like Patch My PC or winstall can reinstall software quickly. https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/1950-clean-install-windows-10-a.html

You can replicate that experience with winstall. It gives you the script file when you finish selecting the desired packages, so you can install all the desired apps on any Windows machines on one go without installing additional software.

When reinstalling Windows, there are a few things you can always count on... this is one of them
you have that usb installer for windows you just made. there's still some room on it. make a new folder there and stuff your initial batch of application installers in it, or at least something like ninite or patchmypc or a script made from winstall.app
