Support per-element theming: distinct colors for user prompts vs. assistant responses

Nenhum arquivo, teste ou ponto de entrada é indicado. Comece localizando a configuração de tema existente e os caminhos de renderização dos prompts do usuário e das respostas do assistente; em seguida, analise as issues relacionadas #2830, #3591 e #2123 para determinar o escopo pretendido. A tarefa estará concluída quando houver uma forma acordada e ciente do tema para distinguir esses elementos, com o comportamento coberto por testes.

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

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
