Choose static or dynamic media

A calm image uses less power; a muted video adds motion. Both should keep text and controls readable.

  • Static PNG, JPEG or WebP
  • Muted video where declared by the package
  • Centered 16:9 gallery previews

Preserve semantic readability

Test chat, code blocks, diffs, sidebar and status states—not only an empty screen.

  • Sufficient contrast
  • Clear code block boundaries
  • Static fallback for Reduced Motion

Use only a verified Adapter path

The CC Theme App validates package media and compiles only for a supported target.

  • mac-codex 26.715.31925 evidence
  • mac-workbuddy 5.2.6 evidence
  • No Windows or Intel support

Background questions

Can I upload my own background on this website?

The website is a gallery for prepared packages. Download a ready theme and import it into the CC Theme App.

Can I choose a static or dynamic background?

Yes. Each published package declares whether it contains a static image or muted video.

Does a dynamic background ignore Reduced Motion?

It should provide a static fallback and respect the host system preference.

Can every package be applied to EVA on ChatGPT Desktop?

No. EVA CodeX visual verification has not passed.
