What this guide covers
A skin is applied correctly only when the real Codex controls still work, task text remains readable, the runtime boundary is understood, and restore succeeds.
This guide focuses on verify Codex Dream Skin and keeps visual design, installation boundaries, verification, and restore behavior in one reviewable workflow.
When to use it
Use this path when native appearance controls are not enough, but keep the boundary clear: visual recipes, local tooling, verification, and restore are separate concerns.
For managed machines, shared computers, or teams with strict endpoint policies, prefer the lowest-risk option and document every local command before running it.
- Check Home, project selector, composer, and task pages manually.
- Confirm the background does not block real controls.
- Inspect logs for failed injection or stale endpoint errors.
- Run restore before relying on the setup.
Risk boundary
A screenshot can make a broken overlay look successful. Real verification requires interaction and restore testing.
A theme should not ask for API keys, provider settings, auth files, or changes to unrelated Codex workspace state. If it does, treat the package as application software rather than visual content.
Commands and checks from the source guide
The uploaded guide includes platform commands. Review each command against the upstream repository and your local environment before running it.
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\windows\scripts\verify-dream-skin.ps1 -ScreenshotPath "$PWD\dream-skin-check.png"~/.codex/codex-dream-skin-studio/scripts/verify-dream-skin-macos.sh --screenshot "$HOME/Desktop/Codex Dream Skin Verification.png"Recommended workflow
Use a repeatable checklist after every install, update, preset switch, or imported image.
After applying a skin, test Home, a normal task, diff review, menus, composer focus, and restore. A screenshot-only check is not enough for a developer tool.
Final recommendation
Treat verify Codex Dream Skin as a workflow, not a decorative file. The result is ready only when the user can explain what is data, what is tooling, what stays local, and how to return to stock.
FAQ
Is verify Codex Dream Skin safe to use?
It can be safe when the package is data-only, the source is clear, the local tooling is reviewed, and the restore path has been tested.
What should I test before using it every day?
Test Home, task pages, diff review, menus, composer focus, logs, and restore. Do not rely only on a pretty home-screen screenshot.
