dsh-thinking-status-customizer DSH plugin questions
How do I install the DSH Thinking Status Customizer?
Run `dsh plugin --profile web add github:Dbi-Eshuh/dsh-thinking-status-customizer#v0.2.2` in your terminal, then inspect the config with `dsh --profile web --dump-config` and restart DSH Web. After restart, you'll see a floating 'Thinking status' button to open the settings panel.
Can I use an image from my computer as the status animation?
Yes. In the settings panel, choose the image mode and select a local GIF, APNG, or WebP file up to 20 MB. Files larger than 2 MB are not saved permanently and will be lost after page reload, so you need to select them again each time you reload.
Does this plugin affect the model's responses or privacy?
No. The plugin only changes the visual appearance of the running status indicator in the browser. It does not upload any settings, images, or model interaction data. When you use an HTTPS image URL, the browser fetches that URL directly. All settings are stored in localStorage under a plugin-specific key.
What happens if the plugin stops working after a DSH update?
The plugin relies on a CSS selector `[data-conversation-scroll] [role="status"][aria-live="polite"]` to target the status element. If DSH changes this selector in a future update, the visual replacement may become inactive. The plugin remains loaded and its dialog will report that it's waiting for a matching status. You can check for updates or remove the plugin to restore the default.
How do I remove the plugin and restore the original status display?
Run `dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-thinking-status-customizer` and restart DSH Web. The plugin's styles, controls, and event listeners will be removed, and the built-in status presentation will be restored.
