Never type into the wrong Claude Code window again. tint gives every repository its own emoji and color, and every window a number, so windows side by side are easy to tell apart.
| Where | What you get |
|---|---|
| 🪟 Window titles | 🧪1️⃣ Fix login bug: the repo's emoji, the window's number, the main topic |
| 💻 Terminal | a strip in the repo's color above the prompt |
| 🖥️ Desktop app | the whole app in color: a ring around the window you're in, a soft tint, colored repo names in the sidebar |
/plugin and press Enter. Settings → Plugins opens.JimmySadek/claude-code-tint-mod and click Sync.Type these one at a time:
/plugin marketplace add JimmySadek/claude-code-tint-mod
/plugin install tint@claude-code-tint-mod
/reload-plugins
✅ From your first prompt, each repository gets its emoji and color.
A band above the message box asks "Color the whole app with your tint mod?" Click Color the app. Claude closes and opens again by itself, which takes a few seconds.
<img src="assets/images/desktop-install.png" alt="The tint band above the message box: Color the whole app with your tint mod? Click Color the app; Claude closes and opens again by itself. Buttons: Color the app, No thanks." width="100%">
After each app start, the band shows 2 steps to turn the colors on: press ⌥⌘I, then right-click tint → Run. About 5 seconds.
<img src="assets/images/desktop-reminder.png" alt="The tint band above the message box: 2 steps to activate your tint mod. 1, press Option Command I; a small tools window opens. 2, in that window, right-click tint, then click Run. A color strip counts down until the band closes by itself." width="100%">
Type /mod_tint and what you want, in your own words. Claude works out what you mean and asks you with a few choices to click.
/mod_tint new emoji
/mod_tint make it lighter
/mod_tint call this window Backend
/mod_tint go back
/mod_tint alone asks what you'd like to change. /mod_tint help lists the exact commands, if you ever want them.
Updates: when a new version is out, the band says ✨ New version with an Update now button.
| You see | Do this |
|---|---|
/mod_tint does nothing | Start a new session. |
| ⌥⌘I does nothing | Turn on Developer Mode: Help → Troubleshooting → Enable Developer Mode… |
| A second app window has no colors | Each app window runs the script on its own: in that window press ⌥⌘I, then right-click tint → Run. |
| The tint looks doubled or stuck | Reload the app, then run the snippet once. |
| The app looks wrong after the install | Quit Claude and copy ~/.claude/window-tint/Preferences.backup back over ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/Preferences. |
| The tint stopped working after an app update | Type /mod_tint css scan, run it the same way, and open an issue with the report. |
A mod can draw inside the conversation, but not the app around it. So tint saves a small script in the desktop app's DevTools as a snippet named tint. Color the app opens Terminal, which quits Claude, backs up its settings to ~/.claude/window-tint/Preferences.backup, saves the snippet, turns on Developer Mode and opens Claude again. The Terminal window closes by itself when it is done.
The script only changes how the open page looks. It sends nothing and changes no file. Colors you choose later show right away, with no reinstall. To turn it off, reload the app.
It can't start by itself: the app refuses outside scripts and debugging switches, which protects your signed-in account. A saved snippet is the safe way in.
By hand instead: turn on Developer Mode, type /mod_tint css (copies the script), then ⌥⌘I → Sources → Snippets → + New snippet, name it tint, paste, save with ⌘S, right-click → Run.
Developer Mode off again: quit Claude, then run in Terminal:
printf '{"allowDevTools": false}\n' > ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/developer_settings.json
~/.claude/window-tint/.claude plugin uninstall tint@claude-code-tint-mod
Then delete ~/.claude/window-tint/ if you want nothing left.

5// the repo is, chosen once by Claude, and a color measured from that emoji as
6// macOS draws it (Claude's own color when the emoji is dull or colorless),
7// saved in ~/.claude/window-tint/repos.json. Titles and the footer show the emoji; the
8// color is for the border around your messages. Windows of the same repo get
9// numbers (1, 2, 3...), each in its own shade. The numbers are agreed through
10// small files in ~/.claude/window-tint/, which every running window can read.
11// On the desktop app, desktop/tint.js colors the whole app window from its DevTools:
12// /mod_tint desktop saves it there as a snippet, /mod_tint css copies it to paste by hand.
