Custom Codex skins and themes, made for you.
Codex Dream Skin brings customizable Codex Skin themes to the desktop app. Pick an image and run one installer — no app.asar modification, one-click restore, macOS and Windows supported.
Codex skin gallery
One image, one mood. Every skin below is a real, working Codex theme — sidebars, suggestion cards, and the input box stay fully interactive native UI.
Preview themes from the open-source Codex Dream Skin project (MIT). Character and IP artwork shown for theme demonstration only.
Why CodexSkin
Real theming for the Codex desktop app — not a screenshot overlay, not a fork, not a patched binary.
Truly interactive
Sidebars, suggestion cards, project picker, and the input box remain native Codex controls. It looks like a new app but works exactly like the one you know.
One image = one theme
Drop in any picture you love and it becomes your Codex skin. Anime, gradients, city nights — your editor, your mood.
One-click restore
Switch back to the stock Codex look at any time with a single restore command. Nothing is permanently changed.
Safe by design
Themes load through Chrome DevTools Protocol bound to 127.0.0.1 only. The official binaries, signatures, and app.asar are never touched.
macOS & Windows
Ready-made installers for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs plus PowerShell scripts for Windows. Same dream skins on both platforms.
Free & open source
MIT-licensed and community-driven. Read every line of the injector, contribute skins, or fork it into your own theme pack.
