dsh-client-background

The default dsh Web client sits on a flat, single-colour background that is perfectly functional but visually plain. dsh-client-background swaps that blank canvas with a set of curated Unsplash wallpapers, giving the interface real depth and a sense of movement while translucent surface panels keep all your content crisp and readable on top. In dark mode the photos read as moody, high-contrast backdrops; in light mode they appear through a soft white veil, and the whole effect follows your theme and system preference automatically.

Three capabilities do the heavy lifting. First, one hundred hand-picked wallpapers rotate on a configurable interval (twenty seconds by default), preloaded to avoid any loading flash. Second, a runtime toggle lets you switch the effect off instantly without uninstalling the plugin. Third, a built-in client-side update check periodically polls the GitHub default branch, compares the commit it finds against the one baked in at build time, and surfaces the exact update command when a newer version exists, all without mutating your running install. Under the hood the visual layer relies only on browser globals (document, Image, setInterval), so there is no framework dependency and no coupling burden on the host.

This plugin is for anyone running a dsh web profile who wants a little more personality and atmosphere in their daily working environment. If you favour dark mode, enjoy photographs as a living backdrop, or simply want the smallest possible effort to add visual variety to a utilitarian client, dsh-client-background delivers that with almost zero footprint.
