Theme studio for the DSH Web GUI: five built-in presets plus fully customizable light/dark palettes (accent, background, foreground, UI and code fonts, translucent sidebar, contrast), hot-swapped instantly and persisted in localStorage.
Install
# from GitHub (first run asks for allowBuilds approval — follow the hint, retry)
dsh plugin --profile web add github:BeiZi6/dsh-theme-plugin
Any plugin you install runs third-party code with your own permissions — it can read your files, use your credentials, and reach the network, and tool approvals don’t sandbox it. GitHub-sourced plugins also run build scripts at install time. Only install sources you trust, and pin a commit (github:owner/repo#sha).
README
Theme studio for the DeepSeek Harness (DSH) Web GUI: five built-in presets plus fully customizable light/dark palettes — accent, background, foreground, UI and code fonts, translucent sidebar and contrast — applied instantly, with no page refresh.
Features
- 🎨 5 built-in presets —
codex-warm,nord,solarized,graphite, plus the stock DeepSeek theme - 🖌️ Full customization — per-mode (
light.*/dark.*) accent, background, foreground, UI font, code font, translucent sidebar and contrast;custommode starts from scratch - ⚡ Instant hot-swap — a Settings GUI ("Theme Studio") applies changes immediately through the official
ctx.theme.overrideTokensAPI; light/dark follow the system preference - 💾 Persistent — the selection is saved in browser
localStorageand survives reloads - 🧮 70+ derived tokens — three colors plus a contrast value expand into the whole semantic token set (borders, layers, scrollbar, tooltip, code blocks, bubbles, sidebar states…)
- 🪟 Translucent sidebar — real frosted sidebar via the
--dsw-specific-sidebar-fillvariable - 🔌 Official seams only — host-side injection through
webServer.tapIndex, no patched vendor files
Installation
Requires DeepSeek Harness with the web profile enabled. Install from the official registry:
dsh plugin --profile web add github:BeiZi6/dsh-theme-plugin
Restart dsh web for the plugin to take effect.
To remove:
dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-theme-plugin
Usage
Settings GUI (recommended)
After a restart, open Settings → Theme Studio:
- Preset — one-click chips: DeepSeek default / Codex warm / Nord / Solarized / Graphite / Custom
- Colors — color pickers for accent, background and foreground, with a "follow preset" reset
- Fonts — dropdowns for the UI font and the code font (common stacks included)
- Translucent sidebar — follow preset / on / off
- Contrast — slider 0–100 with preset restore
Every change applies instantly and persists locally; GUI selections take priority over host config.
The
stockpreset derives no palette: color controls are disabled and only fonts can be overridden.

How it works
- Host half (
index.js) — registers awebServer.tapIndexhook so every servedindex.htmlgets a<style>block injected before</head>, after the stylesheet links, letting the overrides win by cascade order. This is the same official seam the built-in UI theme uses. - Specificity — selectors are written as
html body/html body[data-ds-dark-theme]to outrank the theme's static CSS variables. - Token derivation — from background / foreground / accent plus a contrast factor, a small functional engine derives 70+ semantic tokens (border levels, layers, scrollbar, tooltip, markdown code blocks, bubbles, sidebar states…). Status colors (success / error / warn) keep their stock meaning.
- Translucent sidebar —
--dsw-specific-sidebar-fillis emitted asrgba(mix(bg, fg, 3%), 0.65)when enabled; AppFrame / SidebarRoot / WorkspaceBrowser / TrajectoryTable consume that variable directly. - Client half (
client.js) — a web-shell module that registers a "Theme Studio" section under Settings and writes every change viactx.theme.overrideTokens; the theme presenter emits the tokens inline on<body>, so the effect is instant and survives until the next selection. Selections persist inlocalStorage.
