How to Make Warp’s UI More Minimal
1. Start with the Command Palette
Open the Command Palette:
Mac:
Cmd + PWindows/Linux:
Ctrl + Shift + P
From here, type “Disable” to see a full list of UI toggles. Warp will surface options that let you quickly hide features and visual elements.
2. Key UI Toggles to Disable
Inline & AI Features
Disable Auto Suggestions → removes inline code hints.
Disable Active AI → hides the ghost prompt that suggests agent queries.
Disable Completion Menu → prevents popup completions from appearing.
Disable Voice Input → hides the microphone icon.
Interface & Layout
Disable Block Dividers → removes the horizontal lines between commands.
Disable Tab Indicators → hides the colored status markers across your tab bar.
Disable Dimming Inactive Panes → keeps all split panes at equal brightness.
Disable VIM Status Bar → removes the VIM indicator if you’re not using VIM mode.
3. Choose a Simpler Theme
Visual noise can come from colors too. Try switching to a calmer theme from the Command Palette:
Open the palette again (
Cmd + P)Type “Theme”
Pick one with softer tones — for example:
Adeberry → calm, gray, minimal aesthetic
Classic Dark → familiar and focused
A consistent neutral palette makes Warp feel lighter and easier on the eyes.
4. Switch to the Classic Prompt
Warp’s Universal Prompt is great for AI workflows — it supports:
Slash commands
Voice input
Image context
Agent Mode
But if you just want a terminal that behaves like a classic shell, switch to the Classic Prompt:
Open the Command Palette → search “Prompt”
Choose Classic Prompt
(Optional) Open the Prompt Customizer to toggle chips:
Keep only what you need (e.g., file path)
Hide everything else (branch name, context icons, etc.)
This instantly gives Warp a retro, text-first look — no clutter, no distractions.
5. Reduce Tab Bar Visibility
You can make the tab bar appear only when you hover:
Open the Settings → Appearance
Enable “Show Tabs on Hover”
This keeps your workspace focused while still letting you access tabs when needed.
