OLEDCare

English · 中文

A DeepSeek Harness plugin (#dsh-plugin) that protects OLED panels during long agent sessions.

OLED burn-in protection for the DeepSeek Harness Web GUI (dsh web).

OLED panels wear where pixels stay lit for hours — exactly what a long agent session does to backgrounds, hairline borders, and bright text. OledCare pushes back on all three:

• Nap mode — a true-black (#000) full-screen screensaver, so every background pixel switches fully off. It fades in smoothly after idle minutes (with an optional 30-second wind-down), or on demand from the ☾ Nap button in the session header. A dim drifting clock (so the clock itself does not burn in) shows live agent status — agent is working / waiting for your input / idle — and any mouse or key input wakes the screen.
• Pure-black surfaces — every dark-scheme background token goes to #000000; background pixels turn fully off instead of glowing dark gray.
• Fainter static borders — hairline dividers sit at the same pixels all day, so their dark values go dimmer than the shipped palette.
• Gamma-aware dimming — white text and bright accent tokens are scaled as a linear-light luminance ratio, so perceived contrast between text shades is preserved while total light output drops.
• Idle/focus ladder — normal intensity → deep dim when idle or the window loses focus → nap. Three rungs, each configurable.
• Hue rotation — the accent hue drifts through a ~12-hour cycle so static brand-colored icons wear every subpixel evenly.

Requirements

• DeepSeek Harness (@deepseek-ai/dsh) with the web profile (dsh web)
• pnpm on PATH (dsh plugin forwards to it)

Install

From GitHub:

dsh plugin --profile web add github:domparent/OLEDCare

From a local checkout:

dsh plugin --profile web add /absolute/path/to/OledCare

Then restart dsh web and reload the browser tab. Open Settings → OLEDCare in the settings left nav.

No build step runs on install: client.js ships in the harness browser-module format exactly as the browser loads it, so GitHub installs work without allowlisting a prepare script.

Uninstall

dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-oled-care

Restart dsh web afterwards.

Settings

Three presets — Off, Balanced (default: black surfaces, 85% text, nap at 10 min), Maximum (70% text, deep dim at 3 min, nap at 5 min) — plus a Custom state that appears when you tweak any field:

A diagnostics box at the bottom of the settings page shows the live token layer, the resolved body background, the current dim rung, and the nap/idle state.

Settings persist in the browser's localStorage (key dsh-oled-care:v1), so your preset and custom mix survive dsh web restarts. Where storage is unavailable (private windows, blocked storage), the plugin falls back to in-memory settings for the session.

How it works

• The package is a profile bundle: dsh.bundle.patch in package.json points at cordis.patch.yml, which inserts one plugin row. The client module system scans the row's dsh.client declaration into the browser roster and serves client.js at /plugins/dsh-oled-care/client.js.
• All visual changes go through the client theme service as one replaceable token-override layer — the shipped theme is never edited, and removing the plugin restores it exactly.
• UI is composed through the slot system only: shell.overlay (nap screen), conversation.session.header.actions (nap button), and settings.section (settings page).

Limitations

• The light color scheme is left essentially untouched — OLED care targets dark UIs.
• Developed against dsh 0.1.0-rc.x. The browser module format (window.__ModuleLoader__.load) is an internal harness contract; pin your dsh version or check release notes when upgrading.
• No network calls, no telemetry, no access to conversation content. The only storage touched is localStorage, and only for the plugin's own settings.
