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-spring-festival-theme.png
3. Generate the theme with it, colors: accent #e63946, secondary #f5c542, highlight #e63946
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

Overview
The Spring Festival theme pairs classic Chinese red with flowing gold over a deep-red near-black base — festive and refined. Wear it over the New Year to soak up the holiday spirit while you code; the red-gold contrast stays easy on a dark surface and brings good fortune. A seasonal theme that shines around the New Year, yet feels grand anytime.
Palette breakdown
The background #1A0606 is deep-red near-black; panels #2A0D0D are slightly lighter. The primary #E63946 Chinese red drives accent buttons and keywords, the secondary #F5C542 gold marks active states and decoration — a red-gold clash that's festive without being tacky. Body text #FFE3D0 warm white, muted #B07878 dark red-gray. Syntax: keywords #FF5252 bright red, strings #F5C542 gold, functions #FF8A5C orange-red.
How to apply
On macOS, use the Customize command with a festive background (paper-cut / 'Fu' / fireworks) and the red-gold colors: customize-theme-macos.sh --image newyear.png --name "Spring Festival" --accent "#e63946" --secondary "#f5c542" --highlight "#ff8a5c". It auto-applies via local CDP.
FAQ for this theme
Is Spring Festival too flashy for daily use?
The deep-red base with red-gold accents is actually quite restrained and looks grand daily. If it feels too festive, dim the gold accent a touch.

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.
