Pick either — both run locally and restore in one click (macOS only; Windows supports just the built-in fixed skin — see the tutorial).
Copy the prompt below, paste it into Codex or Claude, and send. The AI clones & installs Codex Dream Skin, downloads this theme's matching background, generates the theme with its palette, and applies it.
Use the open-source Codex Dream Skin project to install the Codex theming tool and apply the "Aurora Theme" theme:
1. Clone & install: https://github.com/Fei-Away/Codex-Dream-Skin (macOS reuses Codex's bundled Node; Windows needs Node.js 22+)
2. Download the matching background: https://codexskins.art/themes/codex-aurora-theme.png
3. Generate the theme with it, colors: accent #4ade80, secondary #a855f7, highlight #4ade80
4. Apply to Codex; tune colors if any text is unreadable
If the engine isn't installed yet, install it per the repo README first; run Restore to revert if anything goes wrong.Color palette
The core palette for this theme. Every control — sidebar, input box, suggestion card, code block — uses these colors.

Overview
The Aurora theme brings the Nordic night sky into Codex: over a deep blue-purple night base, green, purple, and cyan flow like the northern lights. The vibe is dreamy yet calm — for users who want a touch of romance without being flashy. Pair it with a starry-sky or aurora background for a special late-night coding mood.
Palette breakdown
The background #0B1026 is deep-night blue-purple; panels #121A33 are slightly lighter. The primary #4ADE80 aurora green drives accents, the secondary #A855F7 aurora purple accents them, plus #22D3EE cyan forms an aurora green-purple-cyan triad. Body text #E8F0FF cool white, muted #7E8DB0 blue-gray. Syntax follows the aurora spectrum: keywords purple, strings green, functions cyan.
How to apply
On macOS, use the Customize command with an aurora/starry background and the aurora green-purple colors: customize-theme-macos.sh --image aurora.png --name "Aurora" --accent "#4ade80" --secondary "#a855f7" --highlight "#22d3ee". It auto-applies via local CDP once generated.
FAQ for this theme
Is Aurora good for long sessions?
Its contrast is moderate and not harsh, suitable for daily use. If the green-purple feels too lively, darken the background image for more immersion.

Before you use it
Theme previews on this page are illustrative; actual results depend on your local setup. Theming works via local CDP (Chrome DevTools Protocol) CSS/JS injection — an unofficial approach that never modifies the official Codex bundle or code signature, but a Codex version update may briefly break the skin. If it breaks, run the open-source Restore script to revert, or wait for the engine to update. Please use it in line with Codex's terms of service.
