[FEATURE]: Plugin API for TUI customization #17492
Description
Feature hasn't been suggested before.
- I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.
Describe the enhancement you want to request
Problem
Currently, customizing TUI components (footer, header, sidebar) requires modifying the opencode source code directly. This is not flexible and makes it difficult for users to personalize their TUI experience without maintaining a fork.
Context
Users may want to:
- Add custom content to footer, header, or sidebar
- Customize TUI spacing and layout
- Modify the appearance to match their preferences
- Display custom information or status indicators
Having to modify the source code for these customizations creates maintenance burden and prevents users from easily sharing their customizations.
Request
Provide a plugin API that allows users to customize TUI components without modifying the source code. Ideally:
- Plugin hooks for injecting content into footer/header/sidebar
- Configuration file (e.g.,
tui.json) for layout customization
Additional Notes
This would enable a more modular and extensible TUI experience, similar to how other TUI tools (like oh-my-zsh themes) allow customization through plugins and configuration.

I can't find a way to change the TUI.
