claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Allow users to customize spinner/loading messages [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

To implement custom spinner messages, add a spinnerMessages field to the settings.json file and modify the code to pick randomly from this list when it is set.

Guidance

• Check the current implementation of spinner messages in the code to understand how they are generated and displayed.
• Modify the code to read the spinnerMessages field from settings.json and use its values if it is set.
• Implement a fallback to the default messages when the spinnerMessages field is not set or empty.
• Test the new functionality with different settings to ensure it works as expected.

Example

// Example settings.json with custom spinner messages
{
  "spinnerMessages": [
    "Do 10 push-ups",
    "Hold a 30s plank",
    "Do 5 pull-ups",
    "Do 15 squats"
  ]
}

Notes

The proposed implementation assumes that the code already has the ability to read and parse the settings.json file. If this is not the case, additional modifications may be needed.

Recommendation

Apply workaround by implementing the proposed spinnerMessages field in settings.json and modifying the code to use it, as this is a low-risk change that adds a useful feature.
