Official Codex themes

Use official Codex Appearance first.

Codex now has native theme controls. Use the official Appearance path for colors, contrast, fonts, and shareable theme tokens. Use Codex Skin Gallery only when you need public-safe artwork, downloadable files, compatibility packages, and a visible restore path.

Help me use official Codex theme support first. Open or explain Codex Settings > Appearance, import this codex-theme-v1 token for Caishen Readable Light, verify Home / Task / Diff / Composer readability, and only use $codex-skin-pack-installer afterwards if I want background artwork or downloadable source files. Keep restore guidance visible and do not claim this is an OpenAI official theme.
Native import

Start with a codex-theme-v1 token

This changes the native Codex theme surface only. It is the lowest risk path when the job is color, contrast, or font customization.

Link to the source before explaining themes

Users searching this term need to know what OpenAI supports natively and what remains outside the official product surface.

Fallback pack

Use skin packs only for artwork and packages

Caishen Readable is the current starter because it has the strongest download signal and multiple package formats. Keep it inspectable and restore-aware.

Boundary

This site is independent.

Codex Skin Gallery is not affiliated with OpenAI and does not claim that any downloadable pack is an official Codex theme. It exists to provide real files, readable previews, install prompts, and restore notes for users who want more than native color and font settings.
