Windows · Codex Dream Skin

Install on Windows

The Windows engine themes the official Codex desktop app via a local CDP port (default 9335) without touching the WindowsApps directory or the app signature.

Codex Dream Skin running on Windows — themed Codex desktop app

Before you start

  • Official Codex Desktop for Windows installed and launched at least once (%USERPROFILE%\.codex\config.toml exists)
  • PowerShell (run as your normal user; allow script execution for the session if prompted)
01

Download the engine

Get the latest source as a ZIP and extract it, or clone with git:

git clone https://github.com/Fei-Away/Codex-Dream-Skin.git
cd Codex-Dream-Skin\windows
02

Run the install script

From PowerShell in the windows/ directory:

.\scripts\install-dream-skin.ps1
03

Start themed Codex

Launch Codex with the theme applied:

.\scripts\start-dream-skin.ps1
04

Verify (optional)

Check that injection is active and take a screenshot proof:

.\scripts\verify-dream-skin.ps1
05

Restore anytime

One command returns Codex to the stock look:

.\scripts\restore-dream-skin.ps1

Good to know

  • State and logs live in %LOCALAPPDATA%\CodexDreamSkin.
  • Default CDP port is 9335; a free port is picked automatically on conflict.
  • The image-picker customizer is macOS-only for now — on Windows, swap the artwork in windows/assets and restart.
