Allow customization of diff view highlight colors
Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened Mar 3, 2026 by torrentula993 Closed Mar 3, 2026
Feature Request
When Claude Code displays file edits via the Edit tool, added lines are shown with a hardcoded light green background. On dark/black terminal backgrounds this creates a high-contrast block that can be visually jarring and is inconsistent with the rest of the terminal's color scheme.
Desired behavior
Allow users to configure the background color used for added/removed lines in the diff view, either via:
- A setting in
/config - A theme option that respects the terminal's color scheme
- An environment variable or config file entry
Current behavior
The diff highlight color is hardcoded and cannot be changed, even when the terminal background is opaque black.
