Summary
The Claude desktop app's Code tab (Cowork) and the regular claude.ai chat interface look nearly identical. It would help to have a way to visually distinguish them at a glance — for example a different background color, accent color, or theme applied specifically to the Code tab.
Motivation
When switching between the Code tab and a claude.ai chat tab/window, the near-identical layout makes it easy to lose track of which interface is currently in view. A distinct color scheme (or other visual marker) for the Code tab would make this immediately obvious without reading window titles or tab labels.
Suggestion
- Allow a custom accent/background color for the Code tab, configurable in Settings.
- Alternatively, apply a subtle default visual difference (e.g. a colored title bar or sidebar) so Code sessions are distinguishable from claude.ai at a glance.
