A DeepSeek Chat-style blue-whale color skin. Light and dark follow the built-in appearance.
Install
# from npm (prebuilt)
dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-blue-whale
# from GitHub (first run asks for allowBuilds approval — follow the hint, retry)
dsh plugin --profile web add github:starslittle/dsh-blue-whale
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 — pnpm blocks those until you allow them, so an install can stop with ERR_PNPM_GIT_DEP_PREPARE_NOT_ALLOWED or ERR_PNPM_IGNORED_BUILDS; dsh prints the exact key to add under allowBuilds in your profile’s pnpm-workspace.yaml, and the install works on the next run. Allowing a build is a trust decision: only install sources you trust, and pin a commit (github:owner/repo#sha).

A DeepSeek Chat-style blue-whale color skin. Light and dark follow the built-in appearance.


DSH ships as a black whale. chat.deepseek.com is a blue one. This plugin puts Chat blue #4D6BFE on the wordmark, hero fish, tab favicon, and primary actions. Light / dark / follow-system stay on the built-in Appearance setting.
Install
dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-blue-whale
GitHub fallback:
dsh plugin --profile web add github:starslittle/dsh-blue-whale
Restart dsh web, then hard-refresh the browser (Ctrl+Shift+R). The skin is on by default.
Open Settings → General → Blue Whale. A green dot means it is on. Turn off matches the stock capsule control; Turn on is the blue fill.
Check that it loaded
| What you see | What to do |

| Hero whale | same | #4D6BFE |

| Brand / send / accents | black or white | #4D6BFE |
| Page background | built-in light / dark | unchanged |

Supporting colors come from DSH's own --dsw-static-deepseek-* scale.
What it does not do
- It does not change layout or density
- It does not change a desktop shell's window or tray icon
- Headless and TUI profiles have nothing to paint
Turning it off or uninstalling restores the stock colors immediately.
