What's Wrong?
Title:
Make user message styling customizable (highlight/color of own prompts)
Body:
In the VSCode extension, the user's own messages are rendered in a gray box
that visually blends with surrounding text and with Claude's responses,
making it hard to scan the conversation and find where each prompt starts.
Request: add a way to customize the appearance of user messages — e.g.
background color / highlight / border — via settings.json or extension
settings. Even a simple high-contrast toggle for user input would help.
Environment: Claude Code VSCode native extension, Windows 11.
