Feature request
Please add configurable chat appearance options in Codex Desktop for better readability when reviewing long conversations.
Requested controls
- Different message colors or bubble fills for user vs assistant messages
- Option to customize the user message background color
- Option to customize user/assistant text color
- A high-contrast mode for chat history scanning
Why this matters
When conversations get long, it is hard to quickly find the messages I sent. A distinct visual style for user messages would make conversation review much faster.
Expected behavior
- Default appearance should stay unchanged
- Users can optionally enable custom colors per role
- Changes should apply only to the chat UI, not to code or diff rendering
