Cursor design update

The Cursor, as you can see, is based on VSCode, like a fork, so I wanted to know if in a future update, the appearance of the program will resemble the new VSCode design or not? (VSCode has become really beautiful and attractive, and you won’t want to leave it.)

Hey, thanks for the feedback. Glad the new VS Code look is working for you.

I don’t have a direct “yes, we’ll copy the new VS Code design” answer. There isn’t an announced plan to mirror the new Modern UI right now. Cursor does pull in useful improvements from upstream VS Code, but it also builds its own design language, including the surfaces around Agents, instead of matching upstream one-to-one.

If there are any updates on this, I’ll post them here.
