Preface

The architecture of DeepSeek Harness (DSH) is plugin-based, with each functional unit acting like a brick in a wall. Traditional theme modifications often require introducing global CSS or manipulating the DOM, which can compromise system maintainability. dsh-theme-brick is a pure token overlay theme plugin designed for Web front ends. It does not rely on global styles and achieves visual fidelity by overriding theme tokens.

Core Features

This plugin primarily provides the following capabilities:
* 84 Live Tokens: Verified defined and consumed tokens, with no dead-code blockers.
* Warm-tone palette: Provides warm plaster and fired clay color schemes suited to light and dark modes.
* Mortar joint lines: Restores realistic brick mortar joint lines through precise token overrides.
* One-click toggle: Provides a toggle in Settings → General to enable or disable the theme at any time, with the state persisted.
* Plugin compatibility: Uses token-layer stacking, allowing coexistence with other plugins and automatic restoration upon removal.

Installation and Activation

Installing the plugin is done through the DSH plugin manager. After installation, restart the Web process to activate the configuration.

  1. Install the plugin:
    Run the following command in the terminal to add the plugin to the Web configuration file:
    dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-theme-brick
  1. Verify the configuration:
    After installation, export the configuration to confirm that the plugin layer has been composed correctly:
    dsh --profile web --dump-config
  1. Activate the theme:
    Run the following command to restart the Web process and load the new configuration:
    dsh web
  1. Enable/disable the theme:
    In the browser, open Settings → General and toggle the “Brick theme” switch.

Notes

  • Golden Triangle rule: When developing or installing this kind of DSH bundle, the npm package name, Patch layer name, and __ModuleLoader__.load({ id }) in client.js must remain consistent. This plugin satisfies the rule.
  • No side-effect design: The plugin does not include DOM manipulation, global CSS selectors, animation effects, or new UI elements, adhering to a restrained design philosophy.
  • Source code review: It is recommended to review the source code and license before installation to ensure it meets the project’s security and compliance requirements.

Conclusion

dsh-theme-brick is a concrete practice of the “restraint” philosophy in the DSH ecosystem. Through 84 carefully designed tokens, it delivers pure brick aesthetics while maintaining zero invasiveness to the system. For developers who pursue visual fidelity and system cleanliness, this is an ideal theme overlay solution.
