UI Themes

ui-themes

Switchable themes for the Claude Code terminal UI:

- Your prompts and Claude's replies drawn in padded, coloured boxes (Claude Code's defaults have no reply box and little prompt padding; the plugin draws both itself)
- Reply markdown in theme colours (headings, inline code, bold, links, bullets, quotes)
- A matching one-line status line: model (own icon and colour for Opus, Sonnet, Haiku and Fable), folder, git branch, context, 5h/7d limits
- /ui-theme to pick a theme from a list and switch everything at once

Before and after

    Before: Claude Code default
    After: claude-warm

Replies get a padded charcoal box and themed markdown, prompts get a padded terracotta box, and the status line follows the theme.

  Also included: night-blue, one /ui-theme next away

Why I made this

I like coding agents like Pi, OpenCode and Oh My Pi. Their terminal UIs are clean, structured and light. Claude Code's felt messy and heavy next to them, and I didn't enjoy using it.

But I still use Claude Code. Claude's models are what I want to work with, and my Claude subscription only works through the Claude Code CLI, not through other harnesses. So I was stuck with a UI I didn't like.

When Claude Code added mods, I started tuning it to feel more like those agents: padded message boxes, readable markdown colours, a compact status line, and themes I can switch in one command. It isn't a copy of any of them, and it isn't finished, but it's already much nicer to live in every day.

If you're in the same spot, using Claude Code for the models while missing the feel of other agent CLIs, this plugin is for you.

Ships with three themes:

Install
