dsh-theme-plugin DSH plugin limitations
- Only works with DeepSeek Harness (DSH) — not a standalone theme or for other applications.
- The remembered theme is stored in localStorage, not in `settings.yaml`, so it does not sync across devices.
- Requires DSH to be installed and running with a web profile (`--profile web`).
- The theme pack is in early development; no stable release version is explicitly mentioned.

dsh-theme-plugin DSH plugin questions
How do I install the DSH theme plugin?
Run `npx -y @deepseek-ai/dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-theme-plugin@latest` in your terminal. This will download and register the plugin for the 'web' profile. Then launch DSH with `npx -y @deepseek-ai/dsh --profile web` and open the provided URL. Verify the installation by checking the browser console for 'registered 98/98 themes' or by running `dsh --profile web --dump-config` to see a 'theme-zhongguo' row.
How can I update the theme plugin?
Run the same install command again: `npx -y @deepseek-ai/dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-theme-plugin@latest`. This will fetch the latest version from npm and replace the existing one. No additional steps are needed.
How do I uninstall the theme plugin?
Use the DSH plugin remove command: `dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-theme-plugin`. This will delete the plugin from the 'web' profile. The themes will no longer be available in the settings.
How do I switch between themes?
Open DSH's settings panel, go to 'Traditional Colors', and select a theme from the picker. It applies immediately. You can also use deep links: add a hash to the URL like `#theme=zhuqing-light` to switch to a specific theme. The hash change takes effect live and overrides the remembered pick.
How do I find a specific color theme quickly?
Use the search bar in the theme picker. It matches the Chinese name, its pinyin, the seal's name, and the mood. For example, typing 'lv' finds all twelve green themes without switching keyboards. You can also filter by working mood (e.g., '凌晨 夜航' for dark-and-quiet themes) or use the 'Curated only' toggle to see the twelve curated picks.
