Problem Statement

The CLI supports customizable spinner text and animation frames via theme configuration, which is a great personalization feature. It would be nice to have the same capability in Co-work/Desktop.

Ideally this would just be parity with the CLI — if I've defined custom spinners in my theme, Co-work should use them too.

Proposed Solution

Since both interfaces share the same on-disk config (~/.claude/), it seems natural for Co-work to read spinner customizations from the same theme settings the CLI already respects. Currently the Co-work UI is served remotely from claude.ai, so local spinner config has no effect.
