In usage scenarios for the DSH Web UI, while the model is thinking, the status bar usually shows only plain text. It lacks visual feedback. dsh-pixelwhale specifically targets this step, replacing the thinking text with a pixel font and featuring an animation of a pixel-style blue whale.

Plugin Position

This is a DSH Web UI plugin. When the model is in a thinking state, it replaces the native “Deep Search” / “Deep diving…” status text with a pixel font and renders a pixel blue whale spouting water and swaying its tail next to it.

Core Features

  • Animated pixel blue whale: Uses the official DeepSeek blue whale sprite (40×25 pixels, 6 tones), loop-playing the water-spouting and tail-swaying actions.
  • Authentic pixel font: Uses the Fusion Pixel 12px font, embedded in WOFF2 format, and supports offline use.
  • Non-intrusive decoration: Only overrides the styles of the [role="status"] thinking bar, without changing core functionality such as text content, language, or timer logic.

Installation and Activation

  1. Run the installation command:
    dsh plugin --profile desktop add https://github.com/Lkrain821/dsh-pixelwhale
  1. After installation completes, restart DSH to apply the changes.

Notes

  • The plugin itself is released under the MIT License.
  • The embedded font is subject to the SIL Open Font License 1.1, with copyright owned by TakWolf.
  • The blue whale sprite originates from the dsh-TUI project.

Summary

This plugin is suitable for DSH users who want more intuitive visual feedback during the model’s thinking phase.
