# Claude Code v0.2.73 Changelog
Changes
6 itemsTheme Command Alias #
The /config command now has a /theme alias, providing quick access to theme settings directly:
# Both commands now open the config panel
/config
/theme
Improved Theme Descriptions #
Theme options in the config panel now display clearer, more user-friendly descriptions:
- Light mode - Previously "Dark text"
- Dark mode - Previously "Light text"
- Light mode (colorblind-friendly) - Previously "Dark text (colorblind-friendly)"
- Dark mode (colorblind-friendly) - Previously "Light text (colorblind-friendly)"
- Light mode (ANSI colors only) - Previously "Dark text (ANSI colors only)"

IDE Extension Detection #
Claude Code now detects if you have the Anthropic MCP extension installed in supported IDEs (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf). When detected, a status indicator appears showing:
✓ Found [IDE name] extension • /config
TodoRead Tool Enhancement #
The TodoRead tool now has clearer usage instructions, explicitly stating that no parameters should be provided:
Usage:
- This tool takes in no parameters. So leave the input blank or empty.
DO NOT include a dummy object, placeholder string or a key like "input" or "empty".
LEAVE IT BLANK.
Better Pipe Handling in Bash Commands #
Improved handling of piped commands in bash shells. The system now properly redirects stdin only for the first command in a pipeline, preventing issues with commands like:
# This now works correctly
echo "test" | grep "test" | wc -l
Custom Shell Support #
Added support for specifying custom shells when executing bash commands, providing more flexibility for users with non-standard shell configurations.
