Rechercherichtung
Es werden keine Dateien, Tests oder Einstiegspunkte genannt. Beginne damit, die vorhandene Theme-Einstellung und die Rendering-Pfade für Benutzerprompts und Assistant-Antworten zu finden, und prüfe anschließend die verwandten Issues #2830, #3591 und #2123, um den vorgesehenen Umfang zu bestimmen. Als abgeschlossen sollte gelten, dass eine abgestimmte, Theme-bewusste Möglichkeit zur Unterscheidung dieser Elemente festgelegt ist und das Verhalten durch Tests abgedeckt wird.

Beschreibung
Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve
Copilot CLI's theme setting only applies a single global color palette ("default", "github", "dim", "high-contrast", "colorblind"). There is no way to assign a different color to submitted user prompts versus Copilot's own responses in the scrollback. This makes it hard to visually scan a long session and quickly locate "what did I ask?" among hundreds of lines of agent output (tool calls, reasoning, code blocks). Chat and email clients solve this with sent-vs-received color distinction; Copilot CLI currently has no equivalent, and a similar highlight that once existed was removed as a cosmetic fix rather than tuned (see #3591). Related open requests already tracked in this repo: #2830 (custom color themes), #3591 (restore removed prompt highlight), #2123 (fine-grained per-element theming), #2746, #2288, #1862.
Proposed solution
No response
Example prompts or workflows
- A user runs a long debugging session and wants to scroll back and instantly spot every message they personally typed, without reading every line of agent output in between.
- A user runs multiple Copilot CLI sessions side by side (e.g., one admin-configured session, one standard session) and wants each session's prompts/responses colored differently to avoid mixing them up visually.
- A user with attention/cognitive processing differences relies on visual chunking to parse conversational turns (WCAG 1.3.1 - Info and Relationships) and needs a built-in, theme-aware way to distinguish turns instead of relying on external terminal tricks.
- A team lead reviewing a shared/exported session log wants user prompts and assistant responses visually separated at a glance, the same way code review tools color additions vs. deletions.
- A user prefers the previous background-highlight behavior on user prompts (removed in a past release) and wants an opt-in toggle to restore it, e.g. { "userPromptHighlight": true }, without waiting for a full custom-theming system.
Additional context
Proposed shape (illustrative only): a themeElements key in settings.json that overrides colors per role, falling back to the active theme preset when unset: { "theme": "github", "themeElements": { "userPrompt": { "foreground": "#E0D0FF", "background": "#1A0A2E" }, "assistantResponse": { "foreground": "#D0FFE0" } } } A minimal first step could be a single boolean toggle to restore the old prompt-highlight behavior, as proposed in #3591, before building a full custom-theming system like #2830 proposes. Happy to have this consolidated into #2830 or #3591 if maintainers prefer a single tracking issue — flagging here mainly to add another concrete use case and a possible incremental implementation path.
