# Codex Theme (codextheme.tools)

> Codex Theme is a free, browser-local theme builder for the Codex Desktop app. Pick any image, preview the theme across five workspace views, check text readability, and export data-only theme files. No sign-up and no image upload are needed for the Builder. Everything on the site is free; there is no paid plan.

- Readability first: preview five workspace views and check text contrast before you export
- Ready-made themes if you do not want to build: 24 themes such as Midnight Orbit, Lime Circuit, Ocean Glass and Graphite Ink
- Also builds themes for other coding agents (OpenCode, Qwen Code) and validates Codex pets
- Available in 10 languages: English, 日本語, Español, 简体中文, 繁體中文, Português (Brasil), Deutsch, Bahasa Indonesia, Français, 한국어
