Feature Request for Codex App: Terminal-like Look

Right now the frontend looks like chatgpt webpage or some random note taking app, which is a bit dull, and themes are limited to colors. Can we add a terminal-like theme (would be worth only for the vibes)? or at least make the appearance more customizable? Thank you

I would love the app to have more appearance customization too, specially colors! for headings etc.

But for now I guess you could use a fancier terminal like Ghostty and use the Codex CLI from that?

Hey @ryuuji, totally get what you mean. Adding more theme options and deeper customization would definitely make the app feel more dynamic beyond the current color-based themes.

At the moment, customization in the Codex app is limited to the options under Settings → Appearance (theme, UI/code fonts, etc.), which you can see outlined in the Codex app settings documentation.

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll pass this along to the product team as feedback around deeper theming and a potential terminal-style preset. Really appreciate you sharing the idea!
