dsh-hero-motto

dsh-hero-motto

English | 中文

A two-component plugin for DeepSeek Harness: it replaces the main headline (the title beside the whale on the new-session screen) with a rotating pool of custom text lines, and draws a flowing, breathing colour border around the composer card. Everything is configured from the bundle's detail card on the plugin page.

The shipped main headline (探索未至之境 / Into the Unknown) is replaced by your own custom text that rotates on a timer. It starts with just those two, so add, edit or remove the lines under Plugins → New-session motto rotation.

Features

Component 1: main headline · custom text rotation (hero-motto)

Feature	Notes
Custom text rotation	A shuffle bag visits every custom line once per cycle, so nothing repeats back to back.
Animations	Float-in Blur swap Typewriter
Rotation interval	2–120 seconds
Fonts	Four built-in presets, or upload your own .ttf / .otf / .woff / .woff2
Alignment	Left Center Right, against the composer card
Keyword emphasis	Wrap part of a line in [brackets] to paint it in the accent colour
Accent colour	Six presets and a colour well
Preview badge	Keep or hide the pill beside the headline

Component 2: border marquee

Setting	Notes
Colour	Built-in presets, or your own saved groups
Band	Border ring on/off; width 1–6 px
Glow	A coloured shadow cast onto the background; intensity 0–100%
Marquee	Colour band flowing along the border on/off; speed 1–10 s per turn
Breathe	Brightness pulse on/off; rate 10–60 per minute
Brightness	Overall effect brightness 0–200%
Scope	"New-session view" and "Chat page"
Focus only	When on, the marquee and glow appear only while the composer has focus, fading out on blur

Install

A bundle installs from a directory:

plugin_manager install_bundle target=<absolute path to this checkout>

or, with the CLI, add all three rows to your profile patch (the core row plus one per component):

- insert:
    - id: hero-motto-core
      name: 'dsh-hero-motto'
    - id: hero-motto
      name: 'dsh-hero-motto/motto'
    - id: hero-motto-marquee
      name: 'dsh-hero-motto/marquee'

The plugin then appears as dsh-hero-motto on the Plugins page.

Reload the page after installing

The Host half activates immediately, but the browser module is loaded once per page. Reload the window (or restart the application) after installing, and check the [hero-motto] client v… line in the console to confirm which build is live.

node_modules is not committed

index.js imports @deepseek-ai/schemastery for its Config schema. That package ships with DeepSeek Harness itself, so a plugin installed inside a profile resolves it from the profile's own tree. If you install this checkout by linking a directory from elsewhere, make sure @deepseek-ai/schemastery is resolvable from this folder — the .gitignore deliberately keeps node_modules/ out of the repo, because a local install usually points it at a machine-specific profile path.

Known fragility

Several rules key off DeepSeek Harness class names and markers that this plugin does not own:

• hiding the shipped headline text and preview badge, via [class*="fishHitbox"] / [class*="titleGroup"];
• alignment, via [class*="headline"];
• the border marquee, via the composer card's [data-composer-card] marker. Scope detection keys off this plugin's own hero mark being mounted, with a [data-conversation-scroll] / [data-chat-flow-key] ancestor as fallback.

If a Harness update renames those, the original headline reappears, alignment stops moving, or the marquee disappears. All are single-line selector updates in client.js; if every view signal is lost, the marquee falls back to the "chat page" scope (the new-session signal comes from this plugin's own hero mark, not host classes).

Layout

File	Role
index.js	Host half (hero-motto-core core row): config-less package-root plugin that carries the shared browser half
motto/index.js	Host half (hero-motto component): the Config schema and settings policy for the custom-text main-headline rotation
marquee/index.js	Host half (hero-motto-marquee component): the border-marquee Config schema
client.js	Browser half: the hero mark occupant, the mottos, the border-marquee runtime/remount, and both settings cards
cordis.patch.yml	The bundle patch inserting the core row plus the two component rows
locale/*.json	Titles and descriptions for the core row and both feature components
icon.png	Plugin icon (shared by both components)

Components

Since 2.2.0 the bundle ships three rows (one switch each under the bundle page's "included components"):

• Core runtime (hero-motto-core): carries the browser half shared by both components. Keep it enabled; turning it off disables every piece of UI this bundle renders (the master switch).
• New-session motto rotation (hero-motto): replaces the main headline with rotating custom text, plus all display settings;
• Border marquee (hero-motto-marquee): the composer colour border, glow, breathing, and scope.

The two feature components keep their own settings storage and toggle independently of each other; the entry ids are unchanged from 2.1.x, so saved settings carry over. After toggling a component switch on the plugin page, press Ctrl+R to apply it in the page.
