Vocion 7.6: One face per agent, and a calmer frame

The chrome around the spark caught up: one warm surface, a plain workspace row, quiet app icons, one shape for every menu, and an agent that wears its own colour until it starts working, then blooms into the spark.

Vocion Teamvocion-v7.6.0

Status: shipped. #1410 in v7.5.0 and #1412 in v7.6.0. No migration and nothing to configure.

The spark gave Vocion one AI colour, shown only while an agent works. This release brings the frame around it up to the same standard, so the spark is the only thing on screen that moves.

One surface

The sidebar is now the page's own warm paper, split from it by a single hairline. The workspace is a plain row with its mark, its name and a chevron; the tinted pill and its "Switch" chip are gone. App icons on the rail are quiet, and only the app you're in wears its colour.

Before: a tinted workspace pill with a Switch chip, the sidebar a different cream from the page

After: one warm surface, a plain workspace row, quiet app icons

One shape for every menu

The workspace switcher, chat history, the account menu and every other menu share one surface: rounded corners, one hairline, one soft shadow, and a quiet highlight instead of amber. Chat history now shows who each conversation was with and when, and titles read as words instead of markdown.

Before: chat history titles showing raw markdown, no agent and no time

After: each conversation with its agent's colour, a clean title and how long ago

One face per agent

Every agent is drawn the same way everywhere: its own colour as a small lit orb, then its name. That's on a new chat, in the turn, in the agents and teams lists and on its profile. When it starts working, the spark blooms over its colour from the centre. When it's done, the spark settles back into the agent's colour.

Before: the same agent as a letter dot on the agents list

After: each agent as a lit orb in its own colour

Update to v7.6.0 or later. Nothing else changes. The design rules behind all of this, in one place, start at vocion-core's docs/design/README.md.
