# How to Make Warp’s UI More Minimal

Reduce visual noise in Warp by disabling UI elements, switching to a minimal theme, using the classic prompt, and hiding the tab bar.

### 1\. Start with the Command Palette

Open the Command Palette:

-   Mac: `Cmd + P`
-   Windows/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:

1.  Open the palette again (`Cmd + P`)
2.  Type “Theme”
3.  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:

1.  Open the Command Palette → search “Prompt”
2.  Choose Classic Prompt
3.  (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.
