What it does

Customize the visible DSH Web thinking status with lifecycle-safe CSS.

✅
Our take
Works — verified, early-stage project

Customize the visible DSH Web thinking status with lifecycle-safe CSS. It installs cleanly and boots without issues in our testing. It's early-stage but functional.

“Verified” means our automated CI actually ran dsh plugin add in a clean profile and it booted — nothing more. Feature descriptions and version compatibility are the author’s claims. This is not a security audit and not an endorsement of third-party code.

README

DSH Thinking Status Customizer

中文

A CSS-only DSH Web plugin that replaces the visible running status with custom flowing text, a GIF/APNG/WebP animation, or a combined image-and-text display without modifying DSH source or rewriting the status DOM.

Install

Install the tagged release into a Web profile, inspect the resolved configuration, then restart DSH Web:

dsh plugin --profile web add github:Dbi-Eshuh/dsh-thinking-status-customizer#v0.2.2
dsh --profile web --dump-config

Open the floating Thinking status button after restart. Click the same button again, use the close button, or press Escape to close the panel. The plugin follows the active DSH language setting and updates its English or Chinese interface immediately without discarding unsaved form values; user-authored custom text is preserved verbatim. The dialog can enable or disable the visual replacement and switch among custom text with a flow effect, an animated image, and a left-image/right-text combination. Text modes support two to five custom colors, four flow directions, and continuous or back-and-forth movement. Image modes include a roughly 12-second dance GIF with a transparent background and also accept an HTTPS/Data URL or a local GIF, APNG, or WebP up to 20 MB. Local files above 2 MB remain uncompressed and use a temporary object URL, so they work only in the current tab and must be selected again after a reload.

The settings panel inherits DSH Web's light or dark theme tokens and previews text, color count, colors, flow direction, movement pattern, animation, and size edits before they are saved.

Remove the plugin and restart DSH Web to restore the built-in presentation:

dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-thinking-status-customizer

Behavior and privacy

The default mode is the custom text 正在吃饭中... with a flow effect. Settings and Data URL images up to about 3 MB are stored only in browser localStorage under dsh-thinking-status-customizer:v1; larger local images use a temporary object URL and are not persisted. The plugin does not upload settings, status text, images, or model interaction. When an HTTPS image URL is configured, the browser requests that URL directly. Missing, corrupt, or unavailable storage resolves to defaults without stopping the page.

The stylesheet targets only [data-conversation-scroll] [role="status"][aria-live="polite"]. It adds a layout-participating pseudo-element and plugin-owned CSS properties; it does not observe the page, replace textContent, or target other live-status elements. Disabling or unloading the plugin removes its style, controls, attributes, CSS properties, and event listeners.

The original DSH status remains in the accessibility tree. This plugin therefore changes visual copy only; assistive technology continues to receive the built-in status text.

Compatibility

The current release is tested with DSH Web 0.1.0-rc.6. It relies on the semantic selector above because ui-conversation does not expose a running-status text provider in that release. A DSH update that changes the selector can make the visual replacement inactive; the plugin remains loaded and its dialog reports that it is waiting for a matching status.

This package uses only the public DSH bundle, client-module loading declarations, and client locale service. It does not patch ui-conversation or depend on private DSH build helpers.

Develop and verify

npm install
npm run verify

lib/index.js and lib/client.js are committed so GitHub installation does not require an install-time build. npm run verify type-checks, tests, rebuilds, confirms the committed bundles match the source, and previews the package contents.

Model Experience

None. The plugin adds no tool, prompt, model-visible input or output, session event, or model behavior. It changes only browser-local presentation of an existing running status.

Install

🧩 Let your agent install it (recommended)

Install the catalog once, then DeepSeek Harness can find and install any plugin from this site automatically:

dsh plugin add dshbase-catalog

Then say "install dsh-thinking-status-customizer 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:

Web profile:

dsh plugin --profile web add github:Dbi-Eshuh/dsh-thinking-status-customizer

Headless (CLI) profile:

dsh plugin --profile headless add github:Dbi-Eshuh/dsh-thinking-status-customizer

Test report

Verified: L1 install + L2 load + L3 runtime from GitHub source on dsh 0.1.0-rc.6.

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.

Security: not yet scanned — our daily static scan will cover it shortly.
