About this plugin
DeepSeek Harness ships with only Light, Dark, and System as official appearance options, and richer color experiences often require hand-editing CSS. dsh-theme-studio solves this by overlaying five builtin palettes — graphite, oled, nordic, paper, and warm — on top of the official Appearance setting without touching its internals, letting users switch themes like picking a swatch card.
The workflow is intentionally minimal: a new Themes panel appears under Settings → General. Clicking Preview shows the palette instantly without persisting anything; once satisfied, Apply writes the active theme id into the Host theme-studio namespace so it survives restarts. Choosing Default clears the overlay and restores the official theme; unloading the plugin removes all overlay layers and returns ThemeRuntime to stock behavior. The entire package is web-native with no Electron or Node runtime dependency, mounting identically in Desktop and standard DSH Web hosts.
Best suited for DeepSeek Harness users who want to vary their visual atmosphere during coding sessions without writing CSS, managing external theme files, or wiring up extra dependencies. The plugin registers no model tools and contributes no prompt content, so it has zero impact on inference pipelines or KV caches — a pure UI-layer enhancement.
Use Cases
- Switching to a warm or OLED-dark palette during long coding sessions
- Applying a distinctive theme for demos or screen recordings
- Quickly previewing different visual moods beyond Light Dark and System
Best For
- Users who want richer palettes in DeepSeek Harness without hand-editing CSS
- Developers who value visual consistency and personal taste in their environment
- Anyone running DeepSeek Harness in a Web or Desktop host
