dsh-warm-charcoal-theme

Warm Beige / Dark Charcoal theme for DeepSeek Harness

A palette plugin for DeepSeek Harness. It does not add a new theme id and does not change layout or behaviour: it overrides the design tokens of the two built-in themes, so the existing Settings → General → Appearance switch keeps working and the harness keeps remembering the choice.

Install

Pick whichever line matches where you are installing from.

From the plugin market — open Settings → Plugins → Add plugin and paste:

https://github.com/595708049/dsh-warm-charcoal-theme

From a shell, the same source as a spec:

dsh plugin add https://github.com/595708049/dsh-warm-charcoal-theme

If the package is published to npm, the short form works too:

dsh plugin add dsh-warm-charcoal-theme

From a checkout you already have, point at the directory (absolute path):

dsh plugin add /absolute/path/to/dsh-warm-charcoal-theme

Fully offline, from a packed tarball:

dsh plugin add /absolute/path/to/dsh-warm-charcoal-theme-1.0.0.tgz

Then reload the web UI. The palette applies immediately; switch between light and dark in Settings → General → Appearance.

The plugin adds no settings page of its own — switching, following the system and remembering the choice all happen in that existing Appearance row.

Appearance switch — light	Appearance switch — dark

What it does

• Registers a token override through the client theme service (ctx.theme.overrideTokens) for both color schemes at once.
• Covers the alias layer (--dsw-alias-*) and the static colour ramps (--dsw-static-neutral-*, --dsw-static-neutral-bluish-*, --dsw-static-deepseek-*, --dsw-static-blue-*). Components in the harness read the static ramps directly in a few places, so overriding only the alias layer would leave cool-grey patches behind.
• On a profile that has never stored a preference, selects light once, so a first visit opens in Warm Beige. After that the stored preference — light, dark or system — is respected and never overwritten.

Requirements

• DeepSeek Harness with the ui-theme client plugin (bundled).
• The @deepseek-ai/dsh-client-ui-theme and @deepseek-ai/dsh-client-ui-settings packages are declared as optional peer dependencies; the harness supplies them.
