Redesign the window picker and use the app's accent in every terminal theme - #229
The tmux Windows sheet, its tiles, and the Panes sheet's pane map, reworked as one pass.
Tiles. A tile is a picture of its window over a caption (number, name, and the pane count when the window is split). The picture shows the window's full width from the left edge, in whole rows around the cursor, drawn from the terminal's own pixels scaled once. Before, the name and number sat on a plate over the text and the picture showed about half of each line, starting part-way in.
Split windows. A window that isn't zoomed shows every pane in place, with the lines between them. A zoomed window shows its active pane, as the terminal does.
Current window. Marked by a ring around its picture.
Sheet height. The sheet still fits its windows when they fit. With more windows than fit it has a grabber and can be pulled to full height, then scrolls. If the current window would be out of view at the fitted height, it opens at full height with that window in view. The grid fades at an edge it continues past instead of ending in a cut.
Accent. The terminal screen's chrome (dock, sheets, pane map, session switcher, agents list, selection handles, composer cursor) uses the app's accent in every terminal theme, with white on it. A theme now sets the terminal's colours and whether the chrome beside it is light or dark, nothing else. The per-theme chrome style and its environment plumbing are removed.
Pane map. The focused pane's name is normal text on its tint, its ring matches the Windows ring, the light look has light panes on a light well, and a pane without a folder is named by its program. Secondary text in the selection sheets uses the system's secondary colour.
Why
The previews were hard to read and the tiles covered their own content; split windows showed one pane and empty space; a long list ended in a hard cut with no way to see more at once. The accent followed the terminal theme, so the terminal screens had a different blue from the rest of the app and needed dark text on it.

Validation
Unit suite: 2,099 run, 0 failed.
Live: testLiveSSHSelectionSheetsRenderPaneTopologyAndWindowPreviewsWhenConfigured, testLiveDenseWindowPickerReachabilityWhenConfigured, testLiveWindowNamesAndRenameWhenConfigured pass against an isolated tmux.
Simulator captures above, in the default and light themes; also checked with real long Claude Code and Codex threads, on an iPhone SE simulator and in landscape, and on a device build.
Sheet open to all previews ready on the simulator: about 0.1–0.2 s for six and for ten windows; a split window adds one frame per extra pane.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Window previews now show pane layouts and dividers, with clearer window labels and pane counts when applicable.
Window selection grids adjust their sheet height to the available content and keep the selected window in view until you interact with the grid.
Pane labels show the directory above the command when available.
Improvements
Selection controls, focus indicators, and toolbar accents now use consistent app-wide colors.
Scrollable selection sheets show subtle fades when content continues beyond the visible area.
A window tile is now a picture of its focused pane over a caption, in place
of a 4:3 capture stretched to fill a taller tile under a name plate and a
number badge. On an iPhone 17 Pro the old tile showed 55% of each line,
starting six or seven characters in, so the prompt and cursor were cut off,
and its text was resized twice.
- The preview fits its window's width, from the left edge, in whole rows
ending three below the cursor's. A split pane takes its share of the width,
and a window too wide for readable text shows its leading part.
- A preview holds the pane's own pixels with the scale they are drawn at, so
it is resized once, when drawn. The sheet itself is drawn at 96% on iPhone,
which a resize in the app would have compounded.
- The grid that draws the tiles states the size it needs, and a tile of
another size, as after a rotation, is captured again.
- The number, the agent's dot, the name and a split window's pane count sit
in a caption under the picture. Rows are spaced wider than the gap under a
picture, so a caption reads as its own picture's.
- A tile waiting for its preview is the terminal theme's background.
The changes centralize app accent colors and redesign window picker previews. Preview capture now uses pane frames and layout-based composition. The selection sheet adapts its presentation to the window grid.

Summary
Shared accent and terminal chrome RemuxApp/Sources/App/RemuxAppChrome.swift, RemuxApp/Sources/Ghostty/GhosttyKeyboardChrome.swift, RemuxApp/Sources/App/RootView.swift, RemuxApp/Sources/Ghostty/GhosttySurfaceScreen.swift
RemuxAccent defines shared accent colors. Terminal chrome no longer carries theme-specific style values, and its presentation modifier now sets only a required color scheme.
Accent use in app controls RemuxApp/Sources/App/*, RemuxApp/Sources/Ghostty/*, RemuxApp/Sources/Preview/TerminalPreviewView.swift
Session, attachment, keyboard, shortcut, pane, status, and preview controls use RemuxAccent instead of terminal chrome accents. Focused pane lines use the app accent; separators remain theme-derived.
Tests check fixed focused-line accent behavior across themes and theme-specific separator colors.

Summary
Preview layout and session state RemuxApp/Sources/Ghostty/PanePreviewLayout.swift, RemuxApp/Sources/Ghostty/GhosttyPanePreviewSession.swift, RemuxApp/Sources/Ghostty/GhosttyTerminalScreenModeling.swift, RemuxApp/Sources/Herdr/HerdrTerminalScreenAdapter.swift
Layout helpers compute capture budgets, source rectangles, pane composition plans, and grid presentation. Preview sessions now hold structured pane previews and refresh when their presented pixel budget changes.
Frame capture and window composition RemuxApp/Sources/Ghostty/GhosttyIOSurfaceFrame.swift, RemuxApp/Sources/Ghostty/TerminalPaneRenderer.swift, RemuxApp/Sources/Tmux/TmuxTerminalSession.swift, RemuxApp/Sources/Tmux/TmuxTerminalScreenAdapter.swift
Renderer capture accepts a source rectangle and returns a frame. Tmux captures pane frames, composes them into a window preview, and coordinates cancellation and layout changes.
Window selection sheet and rendering RemuxApp/Sources/Ghostty/GhosttySurfaceScreen.swift, RemuxApp/Sources/Ghostty/GhosttySurfaceSelectionSheet.swift, RemuxApp/Sources/Ghostty/TerminalSelectionSheetStyle.swift
The sheet updates preview budgets with layout and display scale, composes pane images and separators, and adjusts its detents to the grid. Window and pane tiles display updated preview and selection details.
Preview and layout tests RemuxAppTests/GhosttyKitRuntimeTests.swift, RemuxAppTests/GhosttyPanePreviewSessionTests.swift, RemuxAppTests/PanePreviewLayoutTests.swift, RemuxAppTests/TmuxTerminalSessionShutdownDrainTests.swift
Tests cover frame conversion, budget changes, preview geometry and composition, grid presentation, and picker frame capture.
The redesigned window picker keeps full-resolution previews for every window while the sheet is open. Sessions with many windows on low-memory devices could use noticeably more memory. This is an unmeasured concern that the owner should check, and it is not a merge blocker.

Downsample each preview before retaining it
When a session has many wide windows, the 0.4 minimum zoom can make each captured crop much larger than its display budget, and this retains that full-resolution CGImage in every cached preview. For example, a 1200×1060 crop is about 5 MB versus about 0.8 MB at a 480×424 display budget; dozens of windows can put the picker under avoidable memory pressure. Downsample the composite to its display-pixel size, or otherwise bound the cached previews.
Check peak memory of full-resolution previews with many windows.
image() no longer downscales. Each pane image is now a copy of the source crop at native pixels. windowPreviewPlan crops up to budget / zoom pixels per dimension. previewZoom can go as low as 0.4. So each preview holds up to about 6x the pixel area of the displayed tile. This is the "scaled once, as drawn" design.
The 6x figure rests on the test fixture, which has a 1200×1060 source crop. That crop is about 5 MB of BGRA data per window. GhosttyPanePreviewSession keeps every window's Preview until the session ends. With 20–30 windows, memory use may reach 100 MB or more while the sheet is open.
Measure peak memory with a large window count on a low-memory device. Consider capping the crop's pixel area, or downscaling in the detached task, if the peak is too high.
