In dark mode, the bottom command input area shows an unwanted light gray/whitish background. This style does not match the overall dark UI.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
none
What is the expected behavior?
The input box should adopt consistent pure black background same as the rest of the interface.
Two optional solutions:
- Remove the light background entirely to keep full black background for input area; meanwhile add the same border as the top OpenAI Codex panel.
- If border is not needed, at least eliminate the pale background and use all-black background.
