About this plugin
The left sidebar in the DeepSeek Harness Web UI—your session list panel—has its width hard-coded into the client bundle: a 264 px drag floor, a 420 px ceiling, and a 280 px expanded default. The runtime exposes no seam to override any of these numbers, so if you want a slimmer sidebar and more room for the main content area, you are stuck. dsh-sidebar-width exists to fix exactly that.
The approach is deliberately surgical: at dsh web startup the plugin patches the served bundle file in place. The first run backs up the original to a .bak file, and an idempotent marker ensures re-runs are no-ops. If a dsh upgrade replaces the bundle, the next startup simply re-applies the patch. Once patched, the drag floor drops to 180 px by default, while the drag ceiling and expanded default width keep their bundle values unless you choose to override them. The plugin touches nothing else—no new buttons, no other panels, no expanded feature surface.
This is for day-to-day DeepSeek Harness Web UI users who find the 264 px minimum too wide and prefer a compact session list that gets out of the way, so the conversation pane can take center stage.
Use Cases
- Shrink the sidebar to give the main pane more room

- Tune the Web UI layout to match personal preferences
Best For
- Everyday Web UI users who find the 264 px default too wide
