# dsh-clean-desktop-shell-pro

English | [中文](README.md)

An enhanced fork of `dsh-clean-desktop-shell`: on top of "wrap your web profile in a native window", it fills in the backend lifecycle management a desktop app should have.

## Enhancements over upstream

1. **Auto-start the backend on launch** — no more clicking "start backend" manually; the local `dsh web` backend is started automatically.
2. **No browser window** — the backend is started with `--no-open`, so only the native window appears, never a browser tab.
3. **Ask before closing the backend on quit** — the tray "quit" shows "close backend and quit / quit only / cancel".
4. **Backend starts in parallel with Electron** — the backend is kicked off during Electron init, so cold start is faster.

## Install

```sh
dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-clean-desktop-shell-pro
```

Then restart `dsh web`. It reuses your existing web profile and the Electron runtime (`$DSH_HOME/desktop-shell-runtime`).

> If you already have the upstream `dsh-clean-desktop-shell` installed, remove it first to avoid two desktop shells starting at once:
>
> ```sh
> dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-clean-desktop-shell
> ```

## Desktop shortcut

After the first launch, use the tray right-click menu → "create desktop shortcut", or the first-run prompt.
