## What it does
- **Real UI** — Sidebar, cards, project picker, and input stay native. Not a fake full-window screenshot.
- **Swappable art** — Drop in an image you like and it becomes your theme.
- **Restorable** — One-click restore to the stock look.
- **Safer path** — Local-loopback CDP inject only. No official binary or signature changes.
## Quick start
Platform scripts are ready — different plumbing, same goal: theme Codex.
| Platform | Dir | Entry |
|------|------|------|
| Apple Silicon / Intel Mac | [`macos/`](./macos/) | Double-click `Install Codex Dream Skin.command` |
| Windows | [`windows/`](./windows/) | `scripts/install-dream-skin.ps1` → `start-dream-skin.ps1` |
More detail:
- Mac: [`macos/README.md`](./macos/README.md)
- Windows: [`windows/SKILL.md`](./windows/SKILL.md)
- Paths: [`docs/platforms.md`](./docs/platforms.md)
- Project notes: [`docs/PROJECT.md`](./docs/PROJECT.md)
## Feedback & contributions
- **Issues:** Use the [issue templates](./.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/) (bug / feature). Blank issues are disabled. Please try Verify / Restore self-checks before filing bugs.
- **PRs:** Follow the [PR template](./.github/pull_request_template.md) — describe the change and tick the self-checks you actually ran (e.g. `macos/tests/run-tests.sh`, verify / restore).
## Safety
- CDP binds `127.0.0.1` only — avoid untrusted local processes while the theme runs.
- Does not touch the official install directory or code signature.
- **Never** rewrites API Key / Base URL; relay and theme stay separate.
## License
- See [`macos/LICENSE`](./macos/LICENSE) (MIT) and [`macos/NOTICE.md`](./macos/NOTICE.md)
- Unofficial; Codex and related rights belong to their owners.
- People / IP art in previews is illustrative only — clear rights before commercial redistribution.
