Create a Codex Skin From Your Own Image

Choose an image you own or have permission to use. Adjust the look on your device, check readability, and save a recipe for the path you choose.

What the builder does—and does not do

The builder prepares files and instructions on your device. It does not install software, run commands, open your Codex account, or change the app for you.

Why is the preview illustrative?

It shows an approximate layout made for the builder. It does not prove that a skin works on your version.

Can I create a Windows image skin?

Custom-image use on Windows is not verified by CodexSkin.im. Read the current Windows status before following a third-party method.
