This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

  • #5000: opencode --continue doesn't restore state of previous subagent pane

Both issues relate to subagent management and visibility. #5000 mentions the difficulty in distinguishing between subagent panes and needing to cycle through them, which is directly related to your feature request to make subagents visually more distinctive.

Feel free to ignore if your specific concern is different from what's covered there.
