Feat: Improve UI customization / accessibility #2750
Description
New user here. Thank you for this project!
I am visually impaired and would appreciate the ability to change colors of things and move things out of the way because I use large fonts.
I love the display of context usage in the top right! VS Code / Cursor certainly don't seem to offer this!
However, I wish, e.g., to get rid of one or a few of the lines at the top of the screen. I use very large fonts and it compresses down the scroll area a lot when there is a lot of text at the top. The title line is good but would be good to be able to:
- limit the title line to a single line at the very top
- just truncate the title and leave enough room to put the token usage to its right
- hide the
/share to create a shareable linktext, I don't need it!
Example:
┃ # <|begin_of_box|>Creating AGENTS.md with build/test/style ┃
┃ guidelines<|end_of_box|> ┃
┃ /share to create a shareable link 16.2K/12% ┃
Sometimes the "begin of box" stuff takes a lot of space. Would be nice if I could have a "compact" UI layout -- not to be confused with /compact -- I understand what that does (compresses the chat history to fit in context window).
Would be great to have such a "compact UI" mode and be able to compress the above to something like:
┃ Creating AGENTS.md with build/test/style guide... 16.2K/12% ┃
And maybe make the token display a bit brighter instead of dark gray on black.
Here's another example (not as bad):
┃ # Debugging yew-toasts implementation issues ┃
┃ /share to create a shareable link 92.5K/70% ┃
But still would be nice to have one line:
┃ # Debugging yew-toasts implementation issues 92.5K/70% ┃
Maybe also be able to get rid of the
┃
which reads as "box drawings heavy vertical" in screen readers -- yuck! Of course, in my own custom written screen reader, I just replace "┃" with "", which fixes it for me, but would help others to be able to hide these bars.
That's ideas for now.
Thanks again for project. I may create other issues as I find them.

Thanks for the feedback @tgrushka we really appreciate it. The tui is about to get a big overhaul so after that is complete some of these things may be better addressed.
I will keep you posted

And yes, now I've seen #1107 but this description is slightly different, basically same ask, but hopefully helps clarify the need.

Absolutely, make sense

Thank you @rekram1-node . When doing the overhaul, allowing color customization of different things in the UI would be wonderful! Thanks so much!
