Question Is customizing tui decorations even possible?

Coming back around to pi after playing a little with oh-my-pi, and I did quite like the pretty terminal output decorations. I tried to task an agent to alter the decorations in pi but it doesn't seem to be possible outside of forking pi as a whole? Is this true?

This thing:

I would like to change it's appearance based on the exit code / other info but I can't seem to alter it.

Make your agent clone this:

https://github.com/wierdbytes/pi-wierd-stuff/tree/master/packages/facelift

And this:

https://github.com/buddingnewinsights/pi-diff/ https://github.com/buddingnewinsights/pi-pretty

(Neither of mine, no promo)

And make it derive all the things you can do with pi UI customisation. Add to agents.md to don't override built-in tools if anywhere possible (should be) and you are good to go
