I rebuilt the theme browser around a denser palette list and a more faithful Codex workspace preview.

The selected theme now updates navigation, conversation surfaces, diff colors, active states, and the composer in one view.

What you can evaluate here

Palette balance, Chat surfaces, semantic diff colors, UI/code font choices, and WCAG body-text contrast.

What the copied string means

codex-theme-v1 is the CodexThemes validation and preview contract—not an OpenAI-owned format. Official documentation does not currently publish a stable import-string contract.

Choose the right workflow

Need wallpaper and transparent panels instead?

That is a Dream Skin workflow, not a native appearance palette. Compare the capabilities and risks before making local changes.
