Notice ⚠️: As DSH has been updated, I am unable to promptly update the plugin with the new APIdue to my academic commitments. Please use an alternative agent to replace or repair it yourself to avoid crashes when installing this plugin.
Aqua is a highly customizable glassmorphism theme for the DeepSeek Harness web UI. The header, sidebar, composer, stats line, and trajectory view all become panes of frosted glass. you can put video for wallpaper and Switch it off and the stock UI comes back exactly, with no source changes to DSH itself.




Features
- Two modes: Mica restyles the layout into floating glass cards (blur and frost adjustable), while Compatibility Mode keeps the stock layout byte-for-byte and only swaps the material to generic glass — other plugins' UI gets the same treatment automatically
- Free backdrop: a living fluid board (hue adjustable) or your own wallpaper (fills the page, aspect preserved, with its own blur and frost); light wallpapers look best in light mode, dark wallpapers in dark mode
- Background brightness: follows the resolved scheme — dark mode darkens (0–50), light mode brightens (50–100), 50 is unchanged
- Particle whale: the deepseek.com/harness centerpiece fish (a 2D port of the site's particle engine), centered in the chat area right of the sidebar — white particles on dark, gray on light, toggleable in settings
- Glossy "Harness" badge: in dark mode the sidebar wordmark wears the official nameplate pill (135° gradient ring + soft glow); light mode keeps the stock plate
- Edge fades: 5px gradient blur bands pinned to the top and bottom of the page, above the chat content — scrolling content melts into the edges; faint white veil on light, faint black on dark
- One switch: off restores the stock UI exactly, and every effect is removed with the plugin
Installation
Option 1: npm one-liner (recommended)
dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-client-ui-aqua
Installs the latest version from npm and registers it as a profile plugin layer (dsh.bundle patch) — works on every platform. Reload the web UI and it is on.
Option 2: GitHub installer (fallback)
No npm account and no git needed (falls back to a plain zip download).
Windows (one command):
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "Invoke-WebRequest 'https://github.com/WYH66666666/DSH-Transparent-UI-Plugin/raw/main/install.ps1' -OutFile install.ps1; .\install.ps1"
Installs the latest release by default. The script links the plugin into the profile's node_modules and registers ui-aqua in cordis.patch.yml (idempotent — safe to run again).
Pin a version or track the dev branch:
.\install.ps1 -Version 'v1.1.0' # a specific release
.\install.ps1 -Version 'main' # the development branch
macOS / Linux (manual, three steps):
git clone --depth 1 --branch v1.1.0 https://github.com/WYH66666666/DSH-Transparent-UI-Plugin.git
ln -s "$PWD/DSH" "$DSH_HOME/profiles/node_modules/@deepseek-ai/dsh-client-ui-aqua"
then append to $DSH_HOME/profiles/web/cordis.patch.yml:
- insert:
- id: ui-aqua
name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-client-ui-aqua'
Usage
Reload the web UI. Aqua is on by default; the master switch lives in Settings → Plugins → Glass theme (same shape as the other plugin cards), and every other control sits directly under Settings → General → Appearance (no title of its own): mode, blur/frost (Mica mode), fluid color, background brightness, backdrop (fluid/wallpaper) with its wallpaper controls, and the particle-whale toggle. With the master switch off, the whole control block under Appearance is hidden.

dsh plugin add dshbase-catalog Then say "install DSH-Transparent-UI-Plugin for me" — your agent finds it in the directory and installs it. Docs: dshbase-catalog · verified packs.
This plugin is GitHub source (not published to npm) — install it straight from the repo:

When to use it
Change how dsh looks or how you interact with it — a theme, a skin, or a new panel that reshapes the workspace.
Who it's for
Users who spend hours in the web UI and want it to look and feel the way they work.
For developers — extending it
Skins, panels, and theme tokens are the extension points — author a new skin, add a panel, or sync tokens with an upstream palette.
