claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Allow customizing user-message background color in TUI [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

Implementing a customizable theme.userMessageBackground field in settings.json could allow users to highlight their own messages with a distinct background color.

Guidance

• Introduce a new configuration option, such as theme.userMessageBackground, to accept a color name or hex value, enabling users to customize the background color of their messages.
• Consider extending the existing theme system to expose per-element colors, including user message background, to provide more flexibility.
• Evaluate the feasibility of integrating this feature into the /config Theme picker for easier user access.
• Assess the potential impact on the overall UI and user experience to ensure the new feature does not introduce unintended visual inconsistencies.
