## Table of Contents - [Intro](#intro) - [Features](#features) - [Previews](#previews) - [Install](#install) - [Usage](#usage) - [FAQ](#faq) - [💝 Thanks to](#-thanks-to) ## Intro The classic low-contrast, eye-friendly palettes for [DeepSeek Harness](https://github.com/deepseek-ai/deepseek-harness) — one package covering **Web GUI** (`dsh web`), **DSH Desktop** and **dsh-TUI**: - ☀️ **[Solarized](https://ethanschoonover.com/solarized/)** — Ethan Schoonover's carefully tuned 16-color system, designed for long reading sessions without eye strain. - 🟢 **[Selenized](https://github.com/jan-warchol/selenized)** — its refined take: the same low-contrast philosophy with modernized hues and better color distinction. Both come in dark and light, registered into the built-in theme system on a level with the light/dark/system choices — with canonical syntax colors for code blocks and a one-click switch row in **Settings → General** that remembers your choice. ## Features - 👁️ **Eye-friendly by design** — Solarized's palette is luminance-tuned, not hue-picked, so text stays readable for hours; Selenized keeps the comfort with cleaner, more distinct accents. - 🎨 **Faithful palettes** — every color is a canonical Solarized / Selenized value; no default DeepSeek blue-gray leaks through. - 🖥️ **Canonical syntax colors** — code blocks follow the classic Solarized syntax mapping (keyword magenta, string cyan, number blue…). - 🖱️ **Component-level accents** — bubbles, tool-call rows, code tags, timestamps and hover interactions tinted from the palettes. - 💻 **dsh-TUI themes** — one install command drops the four themes into your terminal client; auto-synced on every start. - 🔄 **Update check** — Settings silently checks npm for a newer release (manual button too) and shows a copyable upgrade command. - 🧠 **Choice remembered** — survives restarts and model switches; turning it off restores the light/dark choice you had before, not a forced "system". Desktop port churn is covered by durable state under `$DSH_HOME`. - ⚙️ **Zero intrusion** — switching to **Default** restores the built-in appearance pixel-identical. ## Previews

## Install From GitHub (recommended — always the latest): ```sh dsh plugin --profile web add github:zhijun-dai/Solarized-dsh-theme ``` From npm: ```sh dsh plugin --profile web add @yuquexianzhou/solarized-dsh-theme ``` > 💡 The npm release may lag slightly behind GitHub. For the very latest, > use the GitHub install above (pin a branch with `#branch-name`). For DSH Desktop, target the desktop profile: ```sh dsh plugin --profile desktop add @yuquexianzhou/solarized-dsh-theme ``` ### dsh-TUI (terminal themes) The same package syncs the four themes into your dsh-TUI. Install into the TUI profile and they land on the first start: ```sh dsh plugin --profile dsh-tui add @yuquexianzhou/solarized-dsh-theme ``` Then pick a theme inside the TUI: `/theme solarized-dark`. > 💡 Installed into a web/desktop profile of a user who also runs dsh-TUI, > the themes stay in sync on every web start. No `~/.dsh-tui` on disk? > Strict no-op, nothing is created. Restart the web server afterwards: ```sh dsh web ``` ## Usage Open the web UI, go to **Settings → General**, and pick one of the four themes (or **Default** to follow the built-in appearance). Choice is saved per browser and restored at boot. ## FAQ **Q: Why do the colors look "washed out"?** That's the point — Solarized deliberately keeps contrast low so text stays readable for hours without eye strain. If you want more punch, Selenized offers the same comfort with stronger accents. **Q: How is my choice remembered?** Browser `localStorage` (instant) plus a durable file under `$DSH_HOME` for Desktop — survives restarts, model switches and per-launch port changes. Your explicit light/dark/system pick in the built-in Appearance row always wins. **Q: How do I upgrade?** Re-run the install command, or check the Settings row — it silently tells you when a newer version exists and shows the copyable upgrade command. Then restart `dsh web`. ## 💝 Thanks to - [zhijun-dai](https://github.com/zhijun-dai) - [Ethan Schoonover](https://github.com/altercation) — Solarized - [Jan Warchoł](https://github.com/jan-warchol) — Selenized - [KinGao294/dsh-skin](https://github.com/KinGao294/dsh-skin) — the reference theme plugin this port is modeled on - [DeepSeek](https://github.com/deepseek-ai)
