What feature would you like to see?
Problem: Identical UI across simultaneous agent projects leads to pasting prompts into the wrong workspace, wasting tokens and time.
Solution: Add a project-level setting for a custom background tint or accent color
Impact:
Safety: Instant visual confirmation of the active environment.
Efficiency: Color-coding is processed faster than reading text labels.
