Pi Desktop v1.7.0 — Sans-Refresh UI Polish 🎨

A visual refresh of the workspace: proportional sans-serif for chrome and prose while code, terminal, and tools stay JetBrains Mono, a redesigned workflow timeline with a colored status rail, and tighter detail polish throughout.

Note: This is a personal fork of gustavonline/pi-desktop.

✨ What's new

Typography refresh — sans for chrome, mono for code

The entire UI chrome (sidebar, tabs, composer, controls) now uses a proportional system sans-serif stack (-apple-system, SF Pro Text, Segoe UI, system-ui) instead of running everything in JetBrains Mono.

  • Code surfaces stay mono — code/pre/kbd, fenced code blocks, the PTY terminal, tool output, file diffs, and the collapsed tool-preview line all remain JetBrains Mono via explicit --font-family-mono
  • One-token change — driven by flipping --font-family-sans; everything mono is explicitly insulated, so no code/terminal surface regressed to sans
  • Long-form assistant answers and your messages read more naturally; tooling and code keep their dense, terminal-native feel

Workflow timeline — status rail + colored nodes

The assistant's tool-call timeline gained a vertical rail with status-colored nodes, so a turn's progress reads at a glance:

│ ●  read    src/styles/tokens.css                         ✓
│ ●  read    src/components/*.ts                       ×3  ✓
│ ●  edit    src/styles/app.css               +24 −3      ✓
│ ◉  edit    src/components/sidebar.ts                   running
  • Colored nodes — running (accent blue, breathing), failed (danger red), done (success green), pulled from existing per-call state (groupRunning / groupFailed)
  • Connected rail — a hairline vertical rule ties the nodes into one timeline
  • Status carries through — the running / failed / done classes are now surfaced on the workflow item from data the renderer already had

Detail polish

  • Agent divider — the bold "Agent" wordmark between the workflow and the final answer is now a quiet [rule][accent dot][rule]
  • Active session — the selected session gets a 2px accent bar on the left
  • Density — the chat thread, composer panel, and workflow lines breathe slightly more (chat-row gap 16 → 20px, composer padding +2px, workflow line 5 → 7px)
  • Tool preview stays mono — collapsed tool-call previews are pinned to JetBrains Mono so they match the ×N count beside them
