The plugin system of DeepSeek Harness (DSH) allows deep customization of the Web UI. sddft97/dsh-client-ui-skin-verdandi is a skin plugin that replaces the default interface with a theme based on Verdandi, a character from Aether Gazer.

Coverage

This plugin overrides multiple interface areas in DSH:

  • Sidebar
  • Conversation top bar
  • Chat history
  • Input area
  • Statistics bar
  • Trajectory page
  • Right-side details panel
  • Settings dialog
  • Terminal host

Visual Elements and Interaction

Visual Design

The theme uses deep red #8E2438 as the primary color for navigation, identity, and selected conversation state; bridal white is used for reading and editing areas; soft gold is used for knight heraldry and interactive engraved lines.

Character Elements

The plugin incorporates character-related elements such as an oath business card, a bridal avatar, a ring, the holy tree, the Sword of Chronology, grilled meat, and a chibi-style figure.

Interaction and Adaptation

  • Light and dark modes use different scene backgrounds.
  • The character stage scales smoothly according to the conversation state.
  • The interface adapts to narrow screens, a collapsed sidebar, and the user preference for reduced motion.

Architecture and Security

This is a pure presentation-layer plugin. It does not register services, read or modify model requests, or upload data.

Compatibility

The plugin applies targeted style adaptations for the following components and hosts, avoiding modifications to the terminal ANSI palette or global system tokens:

  • better-sidebar
  • AionUI
  • SSH
  • Cordis
  • .xterm
  • Settings portal

In small window sizes, the plugin hides decorative avatars and the character stage, prioritizing readability of the action areas and text.

Installation and Activation

Use the following command to install the plugin:

dsh plugin --profile web add @hjbztlbr/dsh-client-ui-skin-verdandi

After installation, enable “Verdandi · Pure White Oath” in DSH’s skin management interface, then press Ctrl+F5 to force-refresh the page.

Appearance Mode

In DSH’s “Settings → General Settings → Appearance”, choose Light, Dark, or Follow System. If DSH is already saved as a fixed mode, switching only the browser or operating system theme will not override that setting.

Update and Uninstall

# 更新插件
dsh plugin --profile web update @hjbztlbr/dsh-client-ui-skin-verdandi

# 卸载插件
dsh plugin --profile web remove @hjbztlbr/dsh-client-ui-skin-verdandi

Notes

  • Licensing scope: The code, CSS, build scripts, and project-original generic decorations are provided under the MIT License. Characters, scenes, icons from Aether Gazer, and their processed versions are not within the MIT license scope; the relevant rights belong to the original rights holder.
  • Skin conflicts: Multiple skins modify the same interface areas simultaneously. Please enable only one complete skin at a time.
  • Debugging advice: If no changes appear after installation, confirm that the plugin is enabled and other complete skins are disabled, then press Ctrl+F5. If it still does not work, check the browser console for loading errors.

Conclusion

sddft97/dsh-client-ui-skin-verdandi provides a complete interface visual replacement solution. Its core functionality is limited to modifying styles and layout in the UI layer and does not involve core model logic. It is suitable for users who want a personalized DeepSeek Harness interface.
