    Codex Color has a new home. No changes to how it works.

    Coming from codex-skin? See 0.6.0: run codex-skin update once.

    Update

    codex-color update
    

    Install

    cargo install codex-color
    codex-color install-skill
    codex-color install-launcher
    

    Without Rust, download a prebuilt binary. universal runs on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs:

    curl -fsSLO https://x.vibewait.ing/x/codex-color/releases/download/v0.6.1/codex-color-v0.6.1-universal-apple-darwin.tar.gz
    tar -xzf codex-color-v0.6.1-universal-apple-darwin.tar.gz codex-color
    sudo mv codex-color /usr/local/bin/
    codex-color install-skill
    

    The binaries are ad-hoc signed, not notarised. If you download one in a browser, macOS may block it; run xattr -d com.apple.quarantine codex-color first. SHA256SUMS.txt has the checksums.

    codex-skin is now Codex Color: the command is codex-color, the Codex skill is $codex-color, and the Dock launcher is Codex Color.app.

    Moving over from codex-skin

    Run this once:

    codex-skin update
    

    It installs codex-color, which moves your setup over:

    • Your skins move from ~/.codex-skin to ~/.codex-color, with your saved skins, settings and the backup of your original Codex colours.
    • The skill: $codex-skin is replaced by $codex-color. Start a new Codex thread to use it.
    • The Dock launcher is rebuilt in place, so the Dock icon keeps working.
    • The background watcher moves to its new name. macOS may show a "Background Items Added" notice once.
    • The old binary: codex-skin is removed.

    CODEX_SKIN_* environment variables keep working; the new names are CODEX_COLOR_*.

    To do it by hand instead:

    cargo install codex-color
    codex-color install-skill
    cargo uninstall codex-skin
    

    With downloaded binaries, put codex-color in the same folder as codex-skin before running it. If you installed codex-skin with cargo install --root <dir>, use the same --root for codex-color.

    If Codex is open with a skin while you update, codex-color takes over keeping it applied.

    Install

    cargo install codex-color
    codex-color install-skill
    codex-color install-launcher
