Mid-century Studio
Codex concept.

Walnut furniture, terracotta, mustard, and sculptural light shape a composed design studio.

Two interface states

Home and active task.

The background stays consistent while the interface changes. That makes the direction easier to judge than a wallpaper-only thumbnail.

Art direction

What changes.

Original mid-century-inspired room with generic furniture forms, ceramic objects, textured plaster, and no replicated designer product.

The final artwork will be produced in 16:10, 16:9, and 4:3 crops with the focal subject kept outside the primary reading field.

Workspace behavior

What stays native.

Warm neutral planes create personality without sacrificing the contrast expected from a professional tool.

Threads, project selection, task cards, composer controls, keyboard interaction, and pointer events remain application UI rather than rasterized artwork.

Concept FAQ

Clear status, no fake download.

Can I install the Mid-century Studio Codex theme now?

Not yet. The concept artwork and coded preview shell are ready, but installation remains disabled until its responsive crops, tokens, checksums, restore path, and current-Codex verification pass release QA.

Is this a real Codex screenshot?

It is an explicitly labeled concept preview. The Codex-like interface is rendered consistently in HTML and CSS over original artwork; it is not presented as a screenshot from an official Appearance setting.

What will stay native?

Navigation, threads, project selection, task content, the composer, keyboard behavior, and pointer interaction should remain native. The eventual pack changes only supported visual tokens and an optional non-interactive artwork layer.
