Claude Code ships desktop themes and lets mods draw custom terminal UI
ClaudeDevs · x · 2026-11-14
Anthropic's ClaudeDevs account announced new desktop app themes for Claude Code (local sessions now, cloud sessions coming soon), alongside fresh docs on building "mods" that draw custom UI inside Claude Code:
- Mods can render at multiple sites: side panes, the band above the prompt, buttons, text fields, and the spinner
- Claude Code fires a ui.render event before drawing each render site; your hook returns what to render
- A worked example builds a two-tab pane with a counter button whose state survives restarts
- Pane placement adapts: beside the transcript in wide fullscreen terminals, above the prompt in narrow ones
Docs index is at /docs/llms.txt for exploring all mod-building pages.
