Codex Styler 0.1.0-alpha.3

This Alpha turns Codex Styler from a small set of fixed looks into a reusable visual system. Imported images can now generate a complete, contrast-aware theme direction, companions can attach to live Codex surfaces, and the managed restart flow is available directly from the connection card.

Warning

This build is ad-hoc signed but not signed with an Apple Developer ID and not notarized by Apple. On first launch, use Finder's Control-click → Open flow. Do not disable Gatekeeper globally.

Download and install

  1. Download Codex-Styler_0.1.0-alpha.3_aarch64-unsigned.dmg.
  2. Open the DMG and drag Codex Styler to Applications.
  3. In Applications, Control-click Codex Styler, choose Open, then confirm once.
  4. Select a theme and choose Restart and apply. Styler will ask before sending Codex a normal quit request and relaunching it with a loopback-only debugging connection.

Requires macOS 13 or later on Apple Silicon. Intel Macs and Windows are not included in this preview.

What changed

  • Import a local PNG, JPEG, or WebP and generate a complete visual direction from its luminance, dominant color, accent, saturation, and contrast.
  • Switch between Balanced, Cinematic, Soft, and Vivid adaptive systems, then refine the result in the editor.
  • Customize workspace composition, icon treatment, detail intensity, surfaces, radius, motion, and independent companion pairing.
  • Apply theme-owned shell treatments across navigation, home content, suggestions, projects, dialogs, conversation surfaces, the composer, and thread summary.
  • Normalize transparent companion frames with one shared scale and ground line, preventing direction changes from resizing or vertically shifting the character.
  • Snap companions to the composer or workspace and keep them aligned when the target changes height or is recreated after navigation.
  • Restart Codex from the connection card through an explicit confirmation flow instead of requiring a manual quit.
  • Use Enhanced mode by default to apply and verify the live interface; Conservative mode remains available for isolated rendering.
  • Keep light and dark text readable with automatic contrast protection.

Theme format additions

The public v1 schema now exposes semantic entity attachments, alpha-aware grounded normalization, workspace layout, icon treatment, and decoration intensity. Built-in themes use the same contract as imported themes.

Theme packages remain data-only. They cannot execute scripts, load remote resources, or inject arbitrary CSS.

Verification

  • 14 desktop tests, 11 theme-core tests, and 7 Rust tests pass.
  • Desktop and bilingual Astro documentation production builds pass.
  • The generated theme schema validator is synchronized with the public schema.
  • Playwright checks cover image-adaptive creation, light and dark readability, companion placement, settings, and editor controls.

Safety

Codex Styler does not patch app.asar, modify the Codex application bundle, install a proxy, or run a background service. Choose Restore official or restart Codex to remove the temporary visual runtime.
