}Get this theme
The commands below are macOS-only (custom-image themes are macOS-exclusive). Windows currently supports only the built-in fixed skin — see the Windows section of the tutorial. Both methods run locally and restore in one click.
Copy apply command (recommended)
Copy and run — it auto-downloads this theme's matching background to ~/Downloads, generates theme.json, and auto-applies (edit the image path in the command to use your own).
Download theme.json pack
Download theme.json and put it in one folder with your background image (renamed background.jpg).
For option 2, drop the folder into the theme library, then switch:
~/.codex/codex-dream-skin-studio/scripts/switch-theme-macos.sh --id codex-aurora-themeLibrary path: ~/Library/Application Support/CodexDreamSkinStudio/themes/codex-aurora-theme/ (needs theme.json + background.jpg). Hot-switches if Codex is open; otherwise double-click Start.

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.
How do I restore?

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.
