Open-source Codex theme skill

Turn any image into a complete Codex theme.

Attach an image you own—or describe a visual and let Codex create it with your OpenAI account. The open-source GptSkin Skill translates the finished image into a complete, locally applied theme for the Codex desktop app.

No CSS editing. No Codex files modified. Reversible in one command.

How it works

Three steps. Ninety seconds.

From a plain Codex window to a workspace that feels like yours.

1

Install the Skill

One command adds the open-source GptSkin skill to Codex. Free presets work instantly — no account, no setup.

2

Prepare an image

Create a visual in Codex with your own OpenAI account, or attach any image you own. GptSkin compiles the theme from the finished image.

3

Applied to Codex

The Skill applies the theme locally over a loopback-only connection. Restore the default look anytime with one command.

Aurora Borealis applied to CodexFREE

Aurora Borealis

Northern lights over arctic snow — aurora green on polar night. A luminous mint accent glows against deep forest green and near-black, keeping long sessions easy on the eyes. Made for late-night coding when you want calm focus with a touch of arctic wonder.

🆕 New
Snow Peak applied to CodexFREE

Snow Peak

Moonlit snow mountains — ice blue accents on deep slate. Cool, quiet tones keep contrast crisp without any glare. A good fit for focused daytime work and anyone who prefers a cold, minimal palette.

🆕 New
City Lights applied to CodexFREE

City Lights

Night skyline from above — warm amber on midnight blue. The golden accent reads like windows lit after dark, set against deep navy shadows. Great for evening coding sessions when you want warmth without brightness.

🆕 New
Dark Void applied to CodexFREE

Dark Void

Milky way over the void — violet accents on deep space. Soft purple highlights float on a near-black backdrop for a cinematic, low-distraction feel. Ideal for late-night deep work and fans of true dark themes.

🆕 New
Sunset Glow applied to CodexFREE

Sunset Glow

Golden hour over the sea — warm ember on twilight. Orange and pink accents bring dusk warmth to a dark base. Suits creative work and anyone who wants their editor to feel like the end of a good day.

🆕 New
Minimal Light applied to CodexFREE

Minimal Light

White dunes under a bright sky — airy blue on white. A clean light theme with calm blue accents and plenty of breathing room. Best for bright rooms, daytime work, and anyone who prefers a crisp, distraction-free editor.

🆕 New

Beautiful outside. Boring inside.

The injection mechanism is deliberately unsexy: open, local-only, and reversible.

Open-source Skill

Every line of the skill and injector is public on GitHub. Audit it before you run it.

Local-only injection

CDP binds to 127.0.0.1 only. The Skill disconnects after injection; the port closes when that Codex process exits.

Official app untouched

No modified binaries, no patched asar, no changed signatures, API keys, or base URLs. Ever.

One-command restore

Say "restore the default Codex theme" and every trace of injection is removed. Codex restarts clean.

macOS + Windows

Both platforms supported from day one, with the same apply, pause, diagnose, and restore lifecycle.

Secure checkout by Creem

Payments, taxes, and refunds are handled by Creem as Merchant of Record. We never see your card.

Built for people who live in Codex

Eight hours a day deserves a workspace that isn't default gray.

Builders

Independent developers who spend all day in Codex and want a workspace that matches their visual style.

Creators

Streamers and tutorial makers who need a recognizable screen. Your theme becomes part of your brand.

Teams & brands

Use your brand artwork and palette as the source image for a consistent Codex workspace.
