Support custom diff color themes
Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Mar 6, 2026 by T-William Closed Mar 10, 2026
The hardcoded red/green diff colors in Claude Code's edit view clash with carefully chosen terminal themes (e.g. kanagawabones on Ghostty).
It would be great if /theme or a config file could allow customizing diff styling — particularly the added/removed line colors — to better match the user's terminal palette.
Current behavior: Diff colors are fixed regardless of terminal theme or Claude Code theme selection.
Desired behavior: Ability to customize diff highlight colors, either through:
- Extended
/themeoptions - A theme config file (e.g.
~/.claude/theme.json) - Inheriting from the terminal's ANSI color palette
