"Agents Window" badge / shortcut is distracting

Ideas Feedback

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

The new “Agents Window” shortcut notice in the top-right corner is very distracting because it stands out from the rest of the window, no matter what you do — even if the Agents Window is already open.

We don’t need a persistent advertisement that the Agent Window exists. This is annoying.

Please tone it down :folded_hands:

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Cursor Editor window
  2. See “Agents Window” badge in top-right corner of window

Expected Behavior

“Agents Window” badge uses a muted color matching the user’s chosen color theme to be much less distracting.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey, thanks for the feedback. You’re not the first to mention this in the last few days, someone said something similar in this thread too: Please stop pushing the Agent Window so aggressively in IDE, and on dark themes the badge is especially noticeable.

I can’t share an ETA or any guarantees on changes yet, but we’re getting more feedback right now about how visually prominent this CTA is.

If you find more specific cases where it gets in the way, like a specific theme or resolution, please post a screenshot in the thread. The more signal we have, the better.
