[FEATURE]: Desktop app needs better visual feedback when working #8904
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
This is a great (and beautiful) product! Thank you for your work.
Current State:
- OpenCode desktop app has very minimal visual feedback when it's actively working
- The only signal is shading around the submit button (which isn't animated)
- There's an animated GIF in the description of the current step, but it can scroll up the page and out of view
Problem:
- It's difficult to tell when OpenCode is actively working vs. when it has finished
- Users can't easily see if the tool is still processing their request
Suggested Solution:
- Add a better visual indicator in a fixed spot on screen
- It should be animated to signal "actively working"
- A persistent spinner or similar loading indicator that stays visible even when scrolling
The core issue is that the current visual feedback is insufficient - users need a clear, animated, fixed-position indicator that shows when the tool is processing and remains visible regardless of page scrolling.
