Feature Request: Follow System Theme

[mak1A4]

Please add an option to follow the system theme so I don't have to switch between light and dark mode manually : )

For linux, I recommend checking gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-theme as described in the arch wiki. At minimum ghostty and chromium seem to follow this setting for example.

my current workaround: https://github.com/durandom/dotfiles/commit/29c6a04db06fd1f09a4924541abbeb469ebfdc25

• a script to set the theme
• hook into wezterms auth theme switching

obviously heavily bound to macos and wezterm.

Nice, but directly modifying the .claude.json isn't necessary, you can achieve the same with claude config set -g theme dark

For me, it would be enough to be able to switch between light and dark mode while Claude is doing it's job.

I constantly forget to change the theme when could run /theme because it's waiting for my prompt. And when I type that while it's running, it queues up the /config command (that doesn't execute when it's finished). The solution for me would not be to fix the latter but to introduce a shortcut to toggle the theme that can be used at anytime (like switching to plan mode or accept all).
