 #### Show relative path
 set `show_path` to `true` to show the relative path the first time you open the BufferList window after it has been loaded.
 
+### Adding custom window opts
+You can add custom local opts for BufferList window via `win_opts` option. `win_opts` takes a table of `key = value` items. You can see a list of available options by running `:help option-summary`, any option marked as local can be set.
+
+This example shows how to set window opts to highlight the cursor line of BufferList window:
+```lua
+win_opts = {
+    cursorline = true,
+    cursorlineopts = "line",
+},
+```
+
 ### Adding custom keymaps
 You can add custom keymaps for BufferList window via `win_keymaps` option, and keymaps for buffers via `bufs_keymaps` option
