What issue are you seeing?

The new codex UI style looks inconsistent, unprofessional and a bit ugly on Windows: Fullscreen: <img width="2559" height="1438" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4adb0490-2bf9-4d91-b8c9-2df529685a7f" />

Floating window: <img width="1764" height="1084" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/792dba0e-ab67-40ab-8132-ef8adbe5d3b3" />

It really looks weird, like some incorrectly rendered half broken css layout.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

  1. Open latest version of Codex on Windows
  2. Observe the UI design

What is the expected behavior?

The UI design looks at least somewhat consistent and professional

TL;DR

The inconsistent UI style in the Codex App on Windows may be due to a rendering issue that can potentially be addressed by reporting the problem to the developers for further investigation and fix.

Guidance

  • The issue seems to be related to the UI rendering on Windows, specifically with the new codex UI style, which suggests a potential problem with the application's compatibility or styling on this platform.
  • To verify if this is a widespread issue, checking if other users with the same version of the Codex App on Windows are experiencing similar problems could be helpful.
  • Reporting this issue to the Codex App developers with the provided screenshots and system details (version 26.409.20454, Windows 25H2) might help them identify and fix the problem.
  • In the meantime, there's no clear workaround provided in the issue description, but users might explore if previous versions of the Codex App had a more consistent UI on Windows.

Notes

The provided information does not include any details about potential fixes or workarounds, suggesting that the issue might require attention from the developers to resolve.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Since there's no clear indication of a user-applied fix and given the nature of the issue seems to be related to the application's rendering on a specific platform, waiting for or requesting an update from the developers seems to be the most viable option.
