Problem

It's hard to visually distinguish chat responses from tool/command output when scanning a long conversation. The colored dot (white for chat, blue for tool execution) helps but is subtle — especially in longer sessions where you're trying to quickly find the conversational replies among many tool calls.

Request

Allow users to configure text color or styling per output type (chat reply, tool execution, errors, etc.) to improve readability. This could be a setting in /config or a theme configuration file.

Context

  • Currently, terminal color settings don't help because Claude Code controls its own output rendering
  • Switching terminals doesn't solve this since the rendering is terminal-agnostic
  • This would be especially valuable for users who work in long, tool-heavy sessions
