About this plugin
DeepSeek Harness ships with a single built-in palette, so tweaking the visual mood usually means digging into core styles, writing overrides, and hoping you can cleanly roll back. dsh-aurora-skin turns that into a one-click skin swap: pick a theme from the Settings panel and the entire interface re-tunes itself; click Follow system and everything snaps back to the stock appearance with nothing to uninstall or patch away.
The plugin ships three hand-tuned palettes -- Aurora (dark, midnight navy with electric cyan and warm coral, like northern lights over a precision control room), Paper (light, cool paper white with deep teal, evoking a well-typeset research paper for daytime reading), and Hologram (dark, near-black with lime-cyan, the feel of a precision instrument terminal). Every value is written directly onto the --dsw-alias-* custom properties as a concrete CSS color rather than a var() indirection, so contrast holds across bg-base through layer levels, overlay, border, label roles, brand, buttons, interactive states, markdown chrome, sidebar, and scrollbar in both light and dark modes. The plugin never mutates the DOM, never overrides internal DSH components, and never monkey-patches -- there is simply no install-time artifact to reverse.
It is built for developers who live in DeepSeek Harness and want the interface to match their preferred mood without touching core code: a clean paper-like surface for focused reading by day, a cold-cyan instrument glow for late-night terminal work, and the ability to slide between them with a single click in the settings panel.
Use Cases
- Switch to the Paper light skin for a calm, research-paper-like reading experience during the day
- Switch to the Hologram dark skin for a cold-cyan precision-terminal mood at night
- Swap between Aurora, Paper, and Hologram on the fly with no restart or uninstall required
Best For
- Developers who use DeepSeek Harness daily and want the UI to reflect personal taste
- Users who want multiple light and dark visual moods without touching core code
- Long-time DSH users who care about contrast and readability in both light and dark modes
