Bug Description

I am using latest https://github.com/tmux/tmux. The full changelog is here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tmux/tmux/2.9a/CHANGES. But the incompatible is:

* The individual -fg, -bg and -attr options have been removed; they
  were superseded by -style options in tmux 1.9.

This makes many options invalid in /usr/share/byobu/profiles/tmux invalid

For me personally, most important config is:

set-window-option -g window-status-current-attr reverse
set-window-option -g window-status-current-bg $BYOBU_DARK
set-window-option -g window-status-current-fg $BYOBU_LIGHT

And they are no more valid. Would be nice to have an appropriate config for the newest version of tmux. For example, this config could look:

set-window-option -g window-status-current-style fg=$BYOBU_LIGHT,bg=$BYOBU_DARK,reverse

Documentation of styles:

                     Set status line message command style, where style is a comma-separated list
                     of characteristics to be specified.

                     These may be ‘bg=colour’ to set the background colour, ‘fg=colour’ to set
                     the foreground colour, and a list of attributes as specified below.

                     The colour is one of: black, red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan, white,
                     aixterm bright variants (if supported: brightred, brightgreen, and so on),
                     colour0 to colour255 from the 256-colour set, default, or a hexadecimal RGB
                     string such as ‘#ffffff’, which chooses the closest match from the default
                     256-colour set.

                     The attributes is either none or a comma-delimited list of one or more of:
                     bright (or bold), dim, underscore, blink, reverse, hidden, or italics, to
                     turn an attribute on, or an attribute prefixed with ‘no’ to turn one off.

                     Examples are:

                           fg=yellow,bold,underscore,blink
                           bg=black,fg=default,noreverse

                     With the -a flag to the set-option command the new style is added otherwise
                     the existing style is replaced.
