[FEATURE]: Restore the legacy UI with the persistent left sidebar as an option

Feature hasn't been suggested before.

I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.

Describe the enhancement you want to request

The recent sidebar redesign (#20242) replaced the classic two-panel layout
(persistent left sidebar + session panel) with a Codex-style unified view.
For me this is not a visual refresh — it removed the single most important
part of my daily workflow, and there is currently no way to go back.

What I want changed / added:

Keep the legacy UI with the persistent left sidebar available as an
option (a legacy / classic UI toggle or config flag is enough — it
doesn't have to be the default).
If the legacy layout can't be maintained, at minimum restore an
always-visible left sidebar — not hover-only menus or a collapsed rail
that requires extra clicks.

Why this matters (the benefit):

I live inside opencode for hours every day. The left sidebar gives me an
at-a-glance, persistent view of my projects, workspaces, and sessions:

I can see and switch between projects/contexts without breaking flow.
Sessions are one click away, not buried behind hover or search.
Context switching stays fast and predictable.

The new interface hides all of this behind a single unified list with
hover/focus interactions. Every session feels slower and more disoriented.
This is not an aesthetic preference — removing the sidebar with no escape
hatch is a functional regression for anyone who relies on it.

Related:

Can we have a setting to go back to the old UI? #4583 asked for a way to go back to the old UI.
feat: redesign sidebar with Codex-style unified view #20242 introduced the sidebar redesign.

Happy to provide screenshots, my opencode version, and platform details if
that helps. Please don't leave those of us who depend on the left sidebar
behind.

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

win11 opencode desktop
version：v1.18.30

准备换deepseek-harness，新布局生产力不行

新UI太难用了，完全没用旧UI好用，新UI操作太反人类

I also agree that the original layout was MUCH easier to use; this is a significant loss for usability!

写了个powersell脚本，替换opencode打包后的 asar 里面的新布局判断逻辑强制使用旧布局，执行powershell，输入asar的文件夹，通常是：
C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\Local\Programs\@opencode-aidesktop\resources
注意替换路径里面的用户名，脚本会自动备份当前的asar，执行完成后重启opencode即可，支持 1.18.30 版本
注意：每次更新opencode后需要重新执行

I wrote a PowerShell script that replaces the new layout detection logic inside the packaged asar of opencode, forcing it to use the old layout. Run PowerShell and enter the asar folder, which is usually:
C:\Users\%Username%\AppData\Local\Programs\@opencode-aidesktop\resources
Note: replace the username in the path. The script will automatically back up the current asar. After it finishes, just restart opencode. It supports version 1.18.30.
Note: You need to run it again after each opencode update.

Keep legacy layout option
If the new layout is used, I never want to use it again.

We strongly demand that the old layout be restored. Ever since it was changed to the new layout, my colleagues and I have all given up on opencode.

I wrote a PowerShell script that replaces the new layout detection logic inside the packaged asar of opencode, forcing it to use the old layout.

Beautiful! Works perfectly! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you so much for your script!!!!!

Guys WTH!
We really need to patch it for old (NORMAL) layout? I can't image who can work with this new dumb's interface.

I HATE the new layout. I stayed on an old version for quite a while for the old layout, and then forgot one day and updated. HATE IT. PLEASE add a toggle to restore the old layout. The new one is AWFUL.

The recent change to force the new layout completely breaks the mental model that the previous layout encouraged. I no longer have easy visibility over which one of my projects has active agent activity. I'm left to try to infer the activity from the thread's title, which might not always be relevant or accurate. This adds friction and confusion that is completely unnecessary.

The old layout needs to stay as a configurable option in order to support the workflows we've grown to love as we've used this tool.

看了下两个左侧的模式，都不对，不便于使用，不直观，反而搞太复杂了：1.应该是按照项目空间，在左侧用二级菜单可以展开收起；2.正在运行中的项目也不用可以搞个模式，只需要在对应对话标题标一个绿色气泡就好了；3.需要大空间可以直接一键折叠左侧；

I had to switch to Cline desktop or DSH because of this :-(

Thanks for the detailed write-up! You're asking for the classic layout, with an always-visible left sidebar showing projects, workspaces and sessions, to come back as an option (it doesn't have to be the default). If that isn't possible, you'd like at least a left sidebar that stays visible instead of hover menus or a collapsed rail. Maintainers will consider it, and this issue is where the request is being tracked. Others asking for the same thing are pointed here, so 👍 reactions and use cases on this issue help.

Until then, Settings → Appearance → Tabs → Vertical puts session tabs in a sidebar on the left instead of across the top. It isn't the old project → workspace → session tree, but it may get you closer.

29. tabs in a sidebar on

we are talking about the Desktop version here you dumb bot

Why to change things? Go and create another application instead. Oh my god whata fucking imitation of improvements. I mean you made UI once, don't touch it anymore. My bank application changed 100 times and still piece of shit. Don't touch UI, why I should revert your changes every time!

i think they have changed it but seems nobody is reading the issues here.
This is the current settings of opencode and i see this with a brand new installation. On my existing one, which is a continuous upgrade, i can't.

@albgen

@albgen The tabs are not grouped by project. It‘s just a flat list

i think they have changed it but seems nobody is reading the issues here.

They virtually never do. Wish someone with enough claude tokens would just vibecode the v1 ui back at this point.

28. @albgen The tabs are not grouped by project. It‘s just a flat list

True. Way better though than having only horisontal tabs.

I will contribute to this: #60867

Side tab mode is just a simple list. far behind from competitors.

5. 新UI太难用了，完全没用旧UI好用，新UI操作太反人类

实在忍不了了，最近修改了一个Side bar模式，看看 #60867

YEEESSSSS Projects in the sidebar (Experimental Settings)

For anyone landing here: a persistent project sidebar is in v2.2.7, behind two settings.

Settings → General → Interface layout → Side tabs
Settings → Experimental → Organize vertical sidebar → Projects

From the code (sidebar-organized.tsx), that gives you a sidebar that stays open next to the session, grouped by project. It lists the project's sessions, not just open tabs: 5 per project and 7 projects, each with Show more. Each session shows a spinner while it's running and a dot when it's unread, and you can drag projects to reorder them.

That covers most of what's asked above: seeing which project has a running session, and switching in one click without going Home. What it doesn't cover yet: workspaces as their own level, and phones (side tabs are desktop-only).

A small suggestion for maintainers: once it leaves Experimental, a one-click "Classic sidebar" choice in Interface layout would help the people in this thread, and in the closed duplicates (#48837, #37012, #39835, #37546), find it.

Wait for a key press so the console window does not close before the result is visible.

---------- Step 0: locate app.asar ----------

只接受文件夹：优先找其下的 resources\app.asar，其次文件夹内直接存在的 app.asar

---------- Step 1: prepare equal-length replacement ----------

Equal-length invariant must hold, otherwise the ASAR header offsets break.

---------- Step 2: read bytes ----------

Naive scan for a byte sub-sequence; good enough for a short needle.

---------- Step 3: search for target ----------

Ensure the match is unique so we never patch the wrong spot.

---------- Step 4: backup ----------

---------- Step 5: patch in memory ----------

Overwrite the matched region with the equal-length replacement.

---------- Step 6: write back ----------

---------- Step 7: verify ----------

Wait for a key press so the console window does not close before the result is visible.
