Light theme: slash command list focus highlight not visible in Claude Code terminal view

Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

In the light theme (e.g. Default Light Modern), when Claude Code is shown in the terminal view and I type / to open the slash command list, the currently focused/selected row has no visible background highlight — the row background stays white or nearly white. In the dark theme the focus highlight is clearly visible.
Customizing colors via workbench.colorCustomizations (e.g. list.focusBackground, list.activeSelectionBackground, quickInputList.focusBackground) does not affect this list, so the issue appears to be in the Claude Code terminal panel UI rather than in standard VS Code list styling.

Steps to Reproduce

Set Cursor to a light theme (e.g. Default Light Modern).
Open Claude Code in the terminal view (claudeCode.useTerminal: true).
In the Claude Code input, type / to open the slash command list.
Use the keyboard (e.g. arrow keys) to move through the list.
Observe: the focused row has no visible background highlight; it stays white/near-white.

Expected Behavior

The focused row in the slash command list should have a visible background (e.g. light blue or gray), like in the dark theme, so it’s clear which command is selected.

Operating System

Windows 10/11

Does this stop you from using Cursor

No - Cursor works, but with this issue

Hey @Zdenek_Bilek!

Thanks for reporting this. This sounds a lot like an issue to file with Claude Code. As you said yourself:

You’re right, sorry for the misdirected report! I’ll file this issue with Claude Code instead. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
