While we are able to change the theme for Claude in terminal, I have a suggestion to add further customizations. During long sessions, it is hard to distinguish user's input vs output provided. Please see screenshots:

Maybe it can be nested here in /config

- User prompt styling: foreground/background color, prepending symbol
Thank you for consideration!

Agreed.
A slight improvement might be to add a bit more styling to the '>'.
If customization is long way to go, at least I would suggest highlighting user message with some color, such as Yellow.
tweakcccan customize your Claude Code themes. A feature to customize the user input in the history is a great idea!Yes please, we need some customization features for user inputs!
1) Suggest some settings to highlight USER messages in colors (now they are dim).
2) Suggest setting to compact interim messages, final output message should be displayed full
3) Suggest tools/commands to navigate inside the chat - jump to the previous user message, jump inside the index of user messages.
4) Suggest tools to highlight code lines, file names and important conclusions (yes, I see them in Claude and Codex).
Hi everyone (@lanadz-shopify, @banifou, @salavatkhafizov, @davek-ai, @kukula, @mykola-kyryk, @andressamachado, @gavin-hinchley, @jb-, @kelly-anthis, @getvega).
I've added a feature to
tweakccthat lets you customize the way past messages in your Claude Code session are displayed. Just runnpx tweakccand go to theInput boxsection; see this comment for an screenshot. Demo:<img alt="Claude Code with customized user message display and the border around the input box removed" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f239bbac-f37a-441f-a6af-570da8139082" />
