Option to disable whimsical loading messages
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Feb 3, 2026 by curare Closed Feb 6, 2026
The status messages shown while Claude is processing (e.g., "Pontificating", "Tomfoolering", "Waddling") feel patronizing and detract from the professional experience of using the tool.
Request:
Please add an option to either:
- Use straightforward, professional status messages (e.g., "Processing...", "Analyzing...")
- Disable status messages entirely
- Allow users to customize these messages in settings
Why:
These playful messages make the interface feel less serious and can be frustrating during actual work sessions. A configuration option would let users choose their preferred experience.
