What it adds to DSH

Web UIIvory Theme

A warm-neutral light and dark interface theme for the DeepSeek Harness web client, with responsive layout and optional focus mode.

Mechanism evidence

Before you choose it

Ivory changes the appearance of the DSH web client without changing its native capabilities. It adds a calm reading-oriented visual system, responsive conversation layout, optional focus mode, and a bounded Markdown preview with source view available.

Best for

DeepSeek Harness web users who want a quieter, Claude-inspired visual style across desktop and mobile.

Common tasks

  • Apply a warm-neutral light or dark theme to DSH.
  • Improve readability of long responses, user bubbles, and code blocks.
  • Use DSH on narrow mobile windows or wide desktop screens.
  • Preview Markdown output while retaining a source-view option.

Permissions and data

The supplied README describes a browser-only visual plugin.

Permissions
  • No filesystem or process access is declared.
  • The host entry point is described as inert; behavior runs in the web client.
Data handling
  • Two preference flags are described as stored in localStorage.
  • User content is presented in the browser and is copied only after an explicit click.
External services
  • No network requests or telemetry are declared.
Credentials
  • No credentials are described.

Limitations

  • Unofficial community project; it is not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic or DeepSeek.
  • DeepSeek Harness is described as developer preview and may make breaking UI changes.
  • When the structural UI contract cannot be established, the theme is intended to fall back to token-level styling.
  • The package declares Node ^22.19.0 or >=24.0.0 for its package tooling.

What DSHub checked

  • The source commit is pinned and the DSH bundle structure is verified.
  • The manifest declares web-client injection points and optional peer dependencies for DSH client modules and React.
  • The README documents a DSH 0.1.2-rc.1 verification claim and responsive, accessibility, and Markdown-focused features.

What DSHub did not check

  • Installation and runtime behavior were not executed for this curation record.
  • The repository's stated browser-regression, security, telemetry, and accessibility claims were not independently audited here.
  • npm package contents were not audited, although registry identity was verified.

Ivory gives the DSH web interface a quieter reading rhythm without changing how the harness works. Warm neutrals replace cold grays, editorial type improves long responses, and the conversation stays usable from a narrow phone window to a wide desktop. DeepSeek branding and every native DSH capability remain in place.

Quick start

dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-ivory
dsh web

Hard-refresh the page with Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + R, then open Settings → Ivory Theme. The main theme is enabled by default; the optional focus mode stays off until you choose it.

Install the exact GitHub release without using npm.

dsh plugin --profile web add github:ZJUZhiyuCai/dsh-ivory#v0.2.10

Remove Ivory and return to the native DSH interface.

Made for everyday DSH

Area What Ivory changes
Appearance A complete warm-neutral palette for light and dark mode, with restrained shadows, corners, and editorial typography.
Responsive layout Host-adaptive, drag-resizable conversation geometry tested at 375, 768, 1,440, and 1,920 pixels.
Reading and copying Independent controls for prose, user bubbles, and code blocks, plus a small end-of-response marker.
Markdown documents A bounded, DOM-built preview for .md output with source view always available and HTTP(S)-only links.
Accessibility Keyboard focus, reduced-motion behavior, forced-colors fallbacks, and WCAG AA muted text contrast.
Compatibility Structural styling degrades to stable theme tokens when the verified DSH selector contract changes.

Quiet by design

Ivory is a browser-only visual plugin. Its host entry point is intentionally inert.

Boundary Ivory behavior
Bundled runtime dependencies None. DSH client modules and React are peers.
Filesystem and process access None.
Network requests and telemetry None.
Persistent data Two local preference flags in localStorage.
User content Presented in the browser; copied only after an explicit click.
Third-party branding No Anthropic fonts, logos, icons, or application code.

The npm package contains eight allowlisted files and is checked on every CI run. Read the full security policy, architecture boundary, and third-party notices.

[!NOTE] DeepSeek Harness is in developer preview and may make breaking UI changes. Ivory 0.2.8 is verified against DSH 0.1.2-rc.1 and its current web client modules. When Ivory cannot prove the current structural contract, it keeps token-level theming and releases the host layout back to DSH.

<details> <summary><strong>Quality and release checks</strong></summary>
npm ci
npm test          # renderer unit tests, then 15 static, build, publint, and package checks
npm run qa:r2     # 74 browser regressions; DSH must run at 127.0.0.1:3080
npm run qa:adversarial  # 30 stress checks: reconciliation safety, toggle/resize storms, degraded mode

The browser suite covers responsive layout, composer focus, dark mode, Markdown injection attempts, streaming state, lifecycle cleanup, block-copy payloads, plugin coexistence, long tables, reduced motion, and forced colors.

Releases use npm Trusted Publisher with GitHub OIDC. The repository stores no long-lived npm publish token, and future CI releases receive npm provenance automatically.
