Add option to disable persistent session animations (spinner/progress line when idle) #21939
Closed as not planned
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
On OpenCode Desktop (Linux Mint/Cinnamon), the top progress animation (blueish line running left to right) and GIF to the left of session name remain animated even when idle.
Impact
This is visually disruptive and reduces focus during long sessions.
Expected behavior
Animations should run only while actual processing is happening.
Feature request
Please add settings such as:
- Reduce motion
- Show activity indicators only when processing
- Disable persistent session animation
Environment
- OS: Linux Mint
- Desktop: Cinnamon
- Display: Wayland/X11
- OpenCode Desktop version: v1.4.3

Same thing: while you're working on a task, now, in addition to already existing laconic "thinking" text status, it shows a second, annoying progress bar that fills the entire screen (guys, think about users with ultra-wide displays!), which doesn't even disappear after the task is completed.
It's incredibly annoying.

Option to finetune/reduce the animation is needed, as during processing/thinking in OpenCode Desktop, the animation on Title bar, Loading bar and sub-agent tasks caused substantial GPU in older gen processor (e.g. i7-11850H).
It consumed averagely around 20%, but sometimes will hit > 50%.
