This evidence comes from the upstream catalog. This site has not installed, run, or security-reviewed the plugin.

Install

Start with a prompt that asks an agent to review the GitHub repository and source. Switch to the command if you want to install it yourself.

Copy this prompt into DSH, Codex, or another agent and ask it to review the GitHub repository and source first.

Do not install or run any commands yet. Read this plugin's GitHub repository, README, and relevant source code. Then answer the questions below clearly and directly so I can decide whether it fits my needs:

1. What is this plugin, and what problem does it solve?
2. Who is it for, and what are its typical use cases?
3. How is it used after installation? Include one minimal example.
4. What known limitations or privacy, security, compatibility, or maintenance risks does it have?
5. Give a clear recommendation: recommend, conditionally recommend, or do not recommend, with reasons.

Distinguish statements documented by the repository, inferences from source code, and unknowns. If evidence is insufficient, say so explicitly. Do not guess or simply repeat the README.

dsh-custom-workspace

English | 中文

An external DeepSeek Harness Web plugin that gives each workspace its own background, chat font size, line height, Markdown block spacing, and font-rendering preference.

Features

  • Background color or image URL for the main workspace surface.
  • Independent Markdown body font size and line height.
  • Markdown block spacing for paragraphs, lists, headings, quotes, and code blocks.
  • Grayscale antialiasing toggle for Retina displays.
  • Per-workspace persistence in $DSH_HOME/settings.yaml.

The active appearance follows the workspace containing the current session and falls back to the most recently selected workspace. Workspaces without an override inherit the active DSH theme.

Examples

Theme defaults (font and spacing inherit from DSH):

Compact reading — 13px font, 20px line height, 4px block spacing, #eef4ff background:

Spacious reading — 20px font, 38px line height, 28px block spacing, #fff3e8 background:

![Spacious workspace appearance with a warm background](assets/screenshots/spacious.jpg)

Requirements

  • DeepSeek Harness 0.1.0-rc.6.
  • Node.js ^22.19.0 or >=24.0.0.
  • A loopback DSH Web session. The settings RPC intentionally rejects non-loopback browsers.

Install

Install the published package into the Web profile, then restart DSH:

dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-custom-workspace
dsh web

Open Settings → General Settings → Workspace Appearance to configure the selected workspace. Changes are saved immediately.

To remove the plugin:

dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-custom-workspace

Develop

pnpm install
pnpm run verify
dsh plugin --profile web add link:$PWD
pnpm run watch

Host changes in src/index.ts require a DSH restart. Browser changes under src/client/ are rebuilt by the watcher and loaded through DSH client HMR.

Run the optional browser smoke test against a running Web profile after installing Playwright Chromium:

pnpm exec playwright install chromium
pnpm run verify:browser -- http://127.0.0.1:3081

Persistence and security

The Host half owns the custom-workspace settings namespace. DSH does not expose third-party namespaces through its generic settings API, so this plugin registers a dedicated /custom-workspace Connection RPC channel. The channel accepts loopback requests only and exposes no other settings namespace.

The browser half validates every response before publishing it to the presenter. Failed writes reload the Host value; a disconnected or non-loopback browser marks the scope unavailable.

Model Experience

None. Workspace appearance affects only browser presentation and never reaches a model request or session log.

Known Limitations

  • Settings are unavailable to browsers reached through a LAN hostname, even when the DSH Web server trusts that hostname.
  • Background images use the configured URL directly and depend on the browser's network and content-security policy.
  • This release targets DSH 0.1.0-rc.6; pre-release DSH APIs may change without compatibility shims.
