We Need "Actual" Perfect Grain

Feature Request: Prompt Color Customization
While I would still argue that giving shops the ability to fully "theme" the Light and Dark modes is ideal, I understand that it is a much larger undertaking than toggling between Light and Dark. The problem is the legibility of the prompt colors in the

Feature Request: Product List / Overdrive: Jump to Current Room
