dsh-ui-optimize

English | 中文

Two independent features for the DeepSeek Harness web interface: a theme gallery of eight minimalist themes (each defining one palette for light and one for dark), and the desktop Reload/Restart buttons at the sidebar foot — every feature has its own switch.

Colours travel only through ctx.theme.overrideTokens, as a single layer of theme variables. No structural CSS is injected and no other plugin's DOM is read, so an upstream redesign can at worst make the colours inert — it cannot break the layout.

Install

Install @moonsand/dsh-ui-optimize from the GUI plugin manager. Requires engines.dsh >= 0.2.1-rc.3.

Use

Open Settings → UI Optimize.

Themes

Celadon, Linen, Cream, Graphite, Indigo, Slate, Sage, Rose. Picking a card recolours the whole interface; Default restores the stock look. Every theme defines one palette for light and one for dark — switching Appearance between them carries the theme along, so there is no separate version to pick.

Desktop actions

Two switches control the sidebar-foot buttons:

• Reload UI — reloads the page and client plugins only; the Host and running tasks keep going
• Restart app — restarts the whole app including its Host; interrupts the current conversation. Desktop app only — in a browser it degrades to reloading the page

Relationship to dsh-desktop-restart

The desktop actions are ported from @moonsand/dsh-desktop-restart and use their own route prefix, /ui-optimize/desktop.

Both plugins can be installed at the same time without crashing, but you would get two sets of buttons. When the old plugin is detected, a notice appears at the top of the settings page suggesting you uninstall it.

Known limitations

• The theme choice lives in browser localStorage; it is lost with the browser profile or site data
• Restart works only in the desktop app; a browser session can only reload
• Restart logs still go to %TEMP%\dsh-desktop-restart.log, inherited from the ported source
• The restart action is a process-level operation that cannot be verified automatically

Development

node scripts/smoke.mjs

The smoke test covers the assembly contract only: the three runtime files parse, the theme table is complete (8 themes × 10 tokens × 2 schemes), and the published identity plus engines.dsh are intact. It does not check whether the palettes look right or whether restart actually restarts.
