FAQs of Codex Theme
Is Codex Dream Skin an official OpenAI product?
No. Codex Dream Skin is an independent open-source project created by Fei-Away. Codex Theme is an independent community guide that explains the project, provides a local preview tool, and directs installation traffic to the original source.
Does a Codex Theme modify the official installation?
No. The theme applies through a local CDP connection without modifying the official app package, app.asar, or code signature. The Codex Theme and your API provider settings are separate.
Can I restore the original Codex appearance?
Yes. The repository includes a restore process for each platform. Use it to return to the default interface at any time.
Is installing a Codex Theme completely safe?
The tool is open source and runs locally. Users should download only from the original repository, inspect scripts before running, and avoid running untrusted local software while a CDP debugging port is active.
Does this website upload my wallpaper?
No. The preview runs entirely in your browser. Your selected file remains on your device through a temporary browser URL and disappears when the page is closed or refreshed.
What makes a wallpaper suitable for a Codex Theme?
Wide images with a clear focal point, moderate contrast, and a consistent palette work best. The desktop workspace is landscape-oriented, so wide images produce the most flexible themes.
How much does Codex Theme cost?
Codex Theme is completely free. The preview tool, installation guides, and the underlying Codex Dream Skin project are all open source with no paid tiers.
