[Bug] Desktop: all session tabs show the same avatar letter instead of per-project icons #44666

Closed as not planned

Description

Description

In OpenCode Desktop on Windows, every open session tab shows the same avatar — a letter icon with "C" — regardless of which project the session belongs to. With multiple projects open in parallel, the tab bar gives no visual way to tell sessions apart; the only differentiator left is the (truncated) tab title.

Per-project avatars in the tab bar are clearly intended: each tab renders a project avatar (session-tab-avatar.tsx, custom icon with an initial-letter fallback). In my case the differentiation is not happening.

Expected behavior

Each session tab shows its own project's icon, or when no custom icon is set, a distinct initial/color derived from that session's actual project — so tabs from different projects are visually distinguishable at a glance.

Observed behavior

All session tabs show an identical "C" letter avatar, independent of the underlying project.

Possible directions (from the source layout)

Environment

  • App: OpenCode Desktop 1.18.21
  • OS: Microsoft Windows 11 Education, 25H2, build 26200.8875

Happy to provide a screenshot of the tab bar or debug output about which project IDs my open sessions resolve to, if useful.

    Thanks for the report! OpenCode 2.0 is now out and development is focused on V2, so we're closing issues filed against OpenCode 1. Please upgrade (opencode upgrade --major, details: https://anoma.ly/notes/opencode-2-0), and if this is still relevant on 2.0, reopen this issue or open a new one with your 2.0 version.
