What

Claude Code v2.1.211 renders settled user input on a gray block — ❯ dim on the background, text bright, one rectangle padded to the widest wrapped line plus a column (fresh tmux capture: bg 48;5;237, prefix 239, text 231). This supersedes the July 13 capture's "no box" row; claudify 2.2.0 renders user messages unboxed.

New userMessageBox setting on the Messages section of /claudify:

  • theme (default) — the box inherits the active pi theme's own userMessageBg and dim colors. pi themes are user-editable JSON and every one defines userMessageBg, so heavily customized themes keep their palette; claudify remembers the theme's original value per instance before its transparent overwrite.
  • claude — the captured CC values byte-for-byte (#3a3a3a / #4e4e4e / bright white). Wrong-by-construction on light themes, which is why it isn't the default.
  • off — the 2.2.0 rendering.

One capture nuance, documented: CC paints the box only once the message settles (the in-flight echo is plain). pi has no separate pending-echo presentation, so claudify boxes from the start.

Capture + geometry: docs/plans/2026-07-16-cc-user-message-box.md.

Test plan

  • scripts/test-claudify-hub.ts: claude-mode bytes exact (bg/prefix/text), rectangle padding equal across lines, theme mode structural (truecolor bg, text color left to theme), interior blank lines painted, trailing spacing line untouched.
  • Full suite 15/15 green; tsc --noEmit --strict clean.
  • Live eyeball in pi (then cut 2.3.0 with the accent change).
## What Claude Code v2.1.211 renders settled user input on a gray block — `❯` dim on the background, text bright, one rectangle padded to the widest wrapped line plus a column (fresh tmux capture: bg `48;5;237`, prefix `239`, text `231`). This supersedes the July 13 capture's "no box" row; claudify 2.2.0 renders user messages unboxed. New **`userMessageBox`** setting on the Messages section of `/claudify`: - **`theme`** (default) — the box inherits the **active pi theme's own `userMessageBg`** and `dim` colors. pi themes are user-editable JSON and every one defines `userMessageBg`, so heavily customized themes keep their palette; claudify remembers the theme's original value per instance before its transparent overwrite. - **`claude`** — the captured CC values byte-for-byte (`#3a3a3a` / `#4e4e4e` / bright white). Wrong-by-construction on light themes, which is why it isn't the default. - **`off`** — the 2.2.0 rendering. One capture nuance, documented: CC paints the box only once the message settles (the in-flight echo is plain). pi has no separate pending-echo presentation, so claudify boxes from the start. Capture + geometry: `docs/plans/2026-07-16-cc-user-message-box.md`. ## Test plan - [x] `scripts/test-claudify-hub.ts`: claude-mode bytes exact (bg/prefix/text), rectangle padding equal across lines, theme mode structural (truecolor bg, text color left to theme), interior blank lines painted, trailing spacing line untouched. - [x] Full suite 15/15 green; `tsc --noEmit --strict` clean. - [ ] Live eyeball in pi (then cut 2.3.0 with the accent change).

CC v2.1.211 paints settled user input on a gray block (captured: bg 237,
dim ❯ 239, bright text 231, one rectangle padded to the widest wrapped line
+1 column) — superseding the July 13 'no box' capture. New userMessageBox
setting on the Messages section: theme (default — inherits the active pi
theme's own userMessageBg and dim, so custom theme JSONs keep their palette),
claude (the captured CC values exactly), off (the 2.2.0 rendering). The
theme's original userMessageBg is remembered per instance before claudify's
transparent overwrite so the box can use it.
