dsh-any-background DSH plugin
dsh-any-background is a DeepSeek Harness appearance plugin that provides a PS-style color wheel for picking a custom theme color, a wallpaper editor with pan/zoom, and independent opacity sliders for the main interface, settings panel, and wallpaper. All settings are persisted to the filesystem under ~/.dsh/.dsh-any-background-data/ and restored on next launch.

- PS-style color wheel: pick hue on the ring, adjust saturation & lightness in the inscribed square, generates 30+ CSS design tokens in real time.

- Theme watchdog: a background watchdog re-asserts the custom theme if the host resets it.

dsh-any-background DSH plugin questions
How do I install dsh-any-background?
You can install it via the dsh CLI: `dsh plugin --profile web add github:Tkingxiao/dsh-any-background` or `dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-any-background`. If you don't have dsh globally, use `npx @deepseek-ai/dsh plugin --profile web add ...`. After installation, run `dsh web` to launch the Web UI with the plugin active.
Where are my settings saved?
All settings (theme color, wallpaper, opacity, blur, editor position) are stored on the filesystem under `~/.dsh/.dsh-any-background-data/`. The node half of the plugin manages this directory, writing `theme-config.json` and (if set) `wallpaper.jpg`. This avoids localStorage quota limits and persists across sessions.
How do I set a custom background wallpaper?
Open the Settings panel in the DSH Web UI, you will see a 'Theme' section added by the plugin. Click on the wallpaper area to choose an image. Then use the editor modal to drag to pan and scroll to zoom. The image will be compressed (max 1600px side, JPEG quality 0.75) and stored as `wallpaper.jpg` in the data directory.
What is the 'theme watchdog'?
The theme watchdog is a background process that runs every 1 second. It checks if the host (DSH) has reset the custom theme. If it detects that your custom theme is no longer active, it re-applies all the custom CSS variables. This ensures your theme never silently disappears, even if something else triggers a theme reset.
Does the plugin work on the desktop client?
Yes, it is supported on the desktop client (deepseek-harness-desktop). However, there is a known Electron packaging bug where the left sidebar and center area opacities are inverted. This is a client-side bug, not a plugin issue. The plugin author is waiting for the desktop client to be updated to fix it.
