Feature: custom border/frame color in settings.json
Resolved 💬 4 comments Opened Apr 6, 2026 by itay-turgeman Closed Jun 18, 2026
What
Allow users to set a custom color for the TUI border lines and session name banner via settings.json.
Why
Currently the border/frame and session name banner are hardcoded to cyan. But when using agent teams (CLAUDE_CODE_EXPERIMENTAL_AGENT_TEAMS=1), each split pane gets a distinct auto-assigned color — so the rendering infra already supports multiple border colors.
Users who run multiple sessions (or rename sessions frequently) would benefit from visual distinction at a glance.
Proposed
A config key in settings.json, something like:
{
"theme": {
"borderColor": "purple"
}
}
Or even better, let /rename accept a color:
/rename sentry --color purple
Environment
- Claude Code CLI on Linux (iTerm over SSH)
- Using custom
statusLinecommand — that part works great - The missing piece is the chrome around the input area
