### Themes
Change the Codex app appearance in **Settings** by choosing a base theme,
adjusting accent, background, and foreground colors, and changing the UI and
code fonts. You can also share your custom theme with friends.

You can now choose whether automations run locally or on a worktree, define
custom reasoning levels and models, and use templates to find inspiration for
new automations.

#### Codex app for Windows
![Codex app for Windows showing a project sidebar, active thread, and review pane]()
The Codex app is now available on Windows. The app gives you one interface
for working across projects, running parallel agent threads, and reviewing
results in one place.
The Codex app runs natively on Windows using PowerShell and a native Windows
sandbox for bounded permissions, so you can use Codex on Windows without
moving your workflow into WSL, onto a virtual machine, or by deactivating the
sandbox.
The Windows app includes the same core features as the rest of the Codex app:
- [Skills](/codex/build-skills) to discover and extend Codex
capabilities.
- [Automations](/codex/automations) to run work in the background.
- [Worktrees](/codex/environments/git-worktrees) to handle independent tasks in the same
project.
If you prefer to develop in WSL, you can also switch the Codex agent and the
integrated terminal to run there.
Download it from the
[Microsoft Store](https://get.microsoft.com/installer/download/9PLM9XGG6VKS?cid=website_cta_psi)
and sign in with your ChatGPT account or an API key. For setup and
configuration details, see [Setup](/codex/windows/windows-app#download-the-chatgpt-desktop-app), [Use WSL with the
Codex app](/codex/windows/windows-app#windows-subsystem-for-linux-wsl), and [Customize the
app for your development setup](/codex/windows/windows-app#customize-for-your-dev-setup).
