# Appearance and terminal features

Customize Mission Control's colors, motion, layout, and image previews.

## Change theme

Enter `/theme` to preview available themes and save one. A temporary launch override is also available:

```sh
magi-code --theme matrix-green
```

Custom themes live under `$MC_HOME/themes/` or `~/.magi-code/themes/`. Their IDs use `custom:` plus the exact case-sensitive filename, such as `custom:Solarized.toml`.

Use the complete [custom theme example](../features/runtime-theming.md#complete-custom-theme-example) as a starting point.

## Reduce motion or disable color

Edit global or project `settings.json`:

```json
{
  "interface": {
    "appearance": {
      "theme": "matrix-green",
      "reduced_motion": true
    },
    "no_color": false
  }
}
```

`reduced_motion` disables animated running indicators and brief completion accents. `NO_COLOR` in the environment disables color regardless of a saved `false` value.

## Open activity views

Header toggles open Activity Tree (`Alt-1`), Session Files (`Alt-2`), or Summary (`Alt-3`) over the right side. `Alt-A` pins them beside Transcript, narrowing it to make room. Open panels, their order, and pin behavior save globally and return on restart; without saved preferences they start closed and unpinned. Use the Hide controls or panel shortcuts to close them; `Esc` closes only unpinned panels. `Shift-Tab` switches Transcript/Changes.

## Show local images

Kitty and Ghostty can show local PNG, JPEG, GIF, and WebP images below transcript cards. Previews can come from `view_image` results or local Markdown image links in completed assistant responses.

Image previews:

- remain local and do not call a provider
- appear only in the main transcript
- fall back to text when unsupported
- accept local files, not URLs or data URLs
- stay inside workspace policy unless absolute paths are allowed

The `view_image` tool is separate: it sends an image to the configured vision provider so the agent can inspect it.

## Advanced reference

See [Runtime theming](../features/runtime-theming.md) and [Local transcript images](../features/terminal-images.md) for theme tokens, terminal detection, file policy, and limits.
