Feature request
Please add an official setting to adjust the size of the Codex desktop pet / avatar overlay.
Problem
Custom pets currently appear at a fixed size. On high-resolution displays or larger desktop setups, the pet can feel too small. Users who create or install custom pets have no safe supported way to resize the visible pet.
I tried changing local overlay bounds and then inspecting the rendered avatar layer. The actual size appears to be driven by app-bundled UI/CSS and is re-measured by the overlay. Modifying the signed application bundle or internal app.asar is unsafe on macOS: it breaks the app bundle's sealed resources / code signing and can cause Codex to crash on launch. This makes official support important.
Suggested solution
Add a desktop pet size control in Codex settings and/or the pet context menu.
Possible UI options:
- Small / Medium / Large presets
- Or a scale slider, for example 50% to 200%
Expected behavior:
- Persist the chosen size per user/device.
- Support both built-in pets and custom pets.
- Scale the clickable and draggable area together with the visible pet.
- Keep notification badges and the activity tray aligned after resizing.
- Avoid requiring users to modify signed application files.
Why this matters
This would make the desktop pet more accessible and comfortable across different screen sizes, while giving users a safe customization path that does not risk breaking the Codex desktop app.
