dsh-theme-mineradio

English | 中文

Mineradio is a cinematic glassmorphism theme for the DeepSeek Harness web UI — a faithful re-skin of the Mineradio "private visual radio" identity. The header, sidebar, composer, stats line, and trajectory view become panes of warm champagne glass over a near-black studio backdrop. You can put a video as wallpaper and switch it off and the stock UI comes back exactly, with no source changes to DSH itself.

Dark studio: teal glass over a champagne pour. The prompt floats in the liquid.

What ports from Mineradio

• Champagne-gold identity — the signature palette (#f4d28a champagne, #7ad7c2 mint, #ff5367 ember rose over a warm near-black #08090B) drives every alias token: surfaces, hairline strokes, text ink, buttons, scrollbars, and warm-tinted shadows with a gold bloom.
• Typography — Inter + Noto Sans SC for the UI, self-hosted so there's no shell/fontsource dependency.
• Cinematic glow — a champagne-gold ambient bloom sits behind the glass; the spotlight hue knob sweeps it from warm amber to mint while keeping the brand warm.
• Fluid backdrop — a living fluid board (hue + depth adjustable, defaults to warm gold) or your own wallpaper (image or video) with its own blur and frost.

Features

• Two modes: Mica restyles the layout into floating glass cards (blur and frost adjustable), while Compatibility Mode keeps the stock layout byte-for-byte and only swaps the material to generic glass — other plugins' UI gets the same treatment automatically
• Free backdrop: a living fluid board (hue adjustable) or your own wallpaper (fills the page, aspect preserved, with its own blur and frost); light wallpapers look best in light mode, dark wallpapers in dark mode
• Background brightness: follows the resolved scheme — dark mode darkens (0–50), light mode brightens (50–100), 50 is unchanged
• Ambient decor: particle whale in the chat center, star particles, and an interactive dot-grid mesh — all toggleable
• Champagne glow: a pointer-tracking glow over the glass panes, plus a hover press-down for tactile depth
• One switch: off restores the stock UI exactly, and every effect is removed with the plugin

How coverage works (3.0)

Earlier versions decided what to style from class-name word roots, at a fixed specificity. Against the real 0.2.0-rc.2 shell that loses: the shell paints an opaque --dsw-alias-bg-base on its tab host, centre column and conversation column, and any host rule above that specificity wins outright — which is why patches kept missing areas. 3.0 covers surfaces three ways instead, in this order:

1. Design tokens, through the official ctx.theme.overrideTokens() seam. It writes inline custom properties on body, so it wins without !important and without a specificity contest. Measured against the rc.2 sources, 97% of painted backgrounds resolve to a token, so this one layer reaches nearly every surface — including into ::before/::after, which inherit them.
2. A runtime role census for what tokens cannot express. It reads computed paint and geometry — never class names — and stamps data-md-role (ground, structure, pane, overlay, control, chip). The stylesheet then dresses by role with !important, so priority decides rather than a specificity race. It re-runs for elements added after mount, which is most of a React UI, and finishes in ~25 ms over 600 elements.
3. Carve-outs that stay stock. Code, terminals, form fields and file previews keep their own fill and get no blur; containers that hold code (program source, diff bodies, consoles) are carved out too, so the text behind them is not greyed. The host's positional anchors are never touched, because a backdrop-filter on them would re-anchor every in-place overlay. Faces that already wear the family rim are left alone, so hand-tuned panes keep their look.

A popover whose plate is drawn by a covering ::before is detected and dressed on the pseudo-element, so the box stays clean instead of stacking a second layer of glass.

You can inspect it live: __mineradioCensus() reports how many faces carry each role, __mineradioCensus(true) re-runs the pass, and __mineradioAudit() sweeps for opaque surfaces the theme did not reach.

Installation

Windows (one command)

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "Invoke-WebRequest 'https://github.com/dhicoc/dsh-theme-mineradio/raw/main/install.ps1' -OutFile install.ps1; .\install.ps1"

Installs the latest release by default. No git needed — the installer falls back to a plain zip download. It links the plugin into the profile's node_modules and registers ui-mineradio in cordis.patch.yml (idempotent — safe to run again). Reload the web UI and it is on.

Pin a version or track the dev branch:

.\install.ps1 -Version 'v1.0.0'   # a specific release
.\install.ps1 -Version 'main'     # the development branch

Plugin market / npm (recommended)

dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-theme-mineradio

Or search dsh-theme-mineradio in Settings → Plugin market. That installs the prebuilt npm package (lib/ already bundled). There is no prepare / postinstall script.

From 2.3.6 the theme probes the host at load: it uses @deepseek-ai/dsh-client-runtime when present (DSH 0.1.1-rc.2+) and falls back to @deepseek-ai/dsh-client-store (DSH Desktop 0.7.x / 0.1.2-alpha.1). Do not pin 2.3.1 for old desktops and 2.3.5 for new ones — one latest build runs on both.

Do not install with github:dhicoc/dsh-theme-mineradio or dsh plugin add https://github.com/dhicoc/dsh-theme-mineradio. A git / tarball spec makes pnpm block "build scripts", and market updates then fail. If you already have the git spec, switch to npm:

dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-theme-mineradio@latest

The dsh.bundle manifest registers ui-mineradio automatically, so no manual patch is needed. (The installer adds this equivalent entry for source installs:)

- insert:
    - id: ui-mineradio
      name: 'dsh-theme-mineradio'

Restart the web UI. To turn it off: Settings → Plugins → Mineradio.
