CLUSTER THEME-CODEX-DESKTOP · 16 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-07-21

Codex desktop theme editors

This cluster comprises desktop theming tools for the Codex app, allowing users to customize visual elements like backgrounds, sidebars, and message panels without writing code. The dated history before the index start includes only two entries, too few to discern a trend, so the cluster's early growth pattern is unknown. Among tracked products, AI-ThemeStore leads traction with 7 stars, followed by LostCodexTheme with 2 and codex-transparent-bg with 1.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
