Configure
Theme
Theme, font sizes, and display preferences for the desktop app.
goldengoose includes a built-in appearance system so you can tune readability without changing your workflow.
Open Preferences with Cmd/Ctrl + , and look for Appearance settings.
Theme
You can switch the app theme between:
- Light
- Dark
- System (follow your OS)
Font sizes
goldengoose lets you independently control text size across key surfaces:
- Chat panel (main agent thread UI)
- Team Comms (team-wide messaging surface)
- Markdown viewer (File View rendered Markdown)
Shortcuts:
- Increase font size:
Cmd/Ctrl + + - Decrease font size:
Cmd/Ctrl + -
Font-size shortcuts apply to the currently active surface (chat vs team comms vs File View).
Conversation display
Two settings that often make the biggest difference:
- Tool Timeline Verbosity: choose whether tool-call details are Hidden, Summary, or Full.
- Thinking traces (where supported): choose whether model “thinking” summaries start expanded or collapsed.
Planned customization (coming soon)
We plan to add richer customization over time, including:
- font family selection,
- density/spacing controls,
- and more theme options beyond Light/Dark/System.
