FAQ
Codex Dream Skin is an independent, experimental tool that generates and applies custom visual themes (skins) for the Codex Desktop application on macOS, allowing users to personalize their workspace appearance.
No. Codex Dream Skin is an independent project and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or supported by OpenAI or the official Codex team.
No. The tool is designed with a privacy-first approach. It does not read, upload, or store chats, source code, project files, terminal output, credentials, or API keys.
The downloaded macOS ZIP contains a command file. Running this fixed local runner applies the validated visual settings to Codex Desktop through a secure local loopback connection.
Every downloadable skin package includes a visible 'Restore Default.command' file. Executing this command stops the applied skin and returns Codex to its standard interface.
The MVP (Minimum Viable Product) currently targets macOS and is tested against one specific version of Codex Desktop. Support for Windows and broader version compatibility are planned for future updates.
You can generate a skin from an AI text prompt, upload your own image as a wallpaper, or start by remixing an existing theme from the curated gallery.
The package includes a config.json file with theme parameters, the wallpaper image, a starter command script, a restore command, and an illustrated HTML setup guide.
You can tune key settings like the accent color, surface opacity, background blur level, and contrast to fine-tune the workspace readability and aesthetics.
Based on the website content, the core skin generation and download features appear to be free to use, with no mentioned subscription or payment tiers.
