[FEATURE] Old interface had a warmer, more "Claude-like" feel — new UI feels too sterile

Problem Statement

The redesigned Claude Code interface feels more like a generic IDE now. The soft, character-driven aesthetic of the old interface is gone. I could "feel" I was talking to Claude — now it just feels like another dev tool. Please consider bringing back some of that warmth in the UI design.

Proposed Solution

The new interface can keep its improvements, but they should be built on top of the original Claude feel — not replacing it. The warmth, the soft aesthetic, the sense that you're talking to Claude specifically (not just another AI dev tool) should remain the foundation. Iterate on the old design, don't erase it.
