换肤插件（Skin plugin）: registers preset color skins as alias-token themes on the ui-theme service, owns the durable ui-skins.skin preference, and registers a Skin row into the settings General section (next to the Appearance row).

Each preset skin is a ThemeDefinition ({ id, colorScheme, tokens }) registered through ctx.theme.register — the theme registry's sanctioned third-party extension point. The theme presenter applies the composed tokens as inline CSS variables on body, so the skins reuse the entire --dsw-* machinery (palette switching, theme/change snapshots, meta theme-color) without touching any stylesheet.

The built-in Appearance row stays the preference authority. The plugin mirrors theme/change and keeps the durable skin id in agreement with whatever preference is live:

• picking a preset skin switches the preference to that skin id and persists it under ui-skins.skin;
• the Default choice restores the built-in preference captured when the skin was picked (or system when none was);
• touching the Appearance row (a built-in preference wins) clears the persisted skin, so the two rows cannot drift — the last write wins.

Durable schema (ui-skins): skin ∈ default | custom | ocean | sakura | forest | midnight (default default), plus the optional custom colors section (scheme, accent, bgBase).

Presets:

Swatch chrome colors live in SkinRow.module.css; the token maps in src/skins.ts are the theme values.

Custom colors: the 自定义 (Custom) swatch opens an editor (base palette, accent, background) that derives the full token set from two colors via buildCustomTokenPairs and stacks it as an overrideTokens layer over a registered custom theme — editing colors only replaces the layer, switching the palette re-registers the theme. Colors persist under ui-skins.custom and re-apply on boot; an Appearance-row write clears the custom skin like any other.

Install

Install this package from the repository (the prebuilt lib/ is committed):

pnpm add github:edwardyang0011/dsh-ui-skins

Then register the row in your DSH profile patch — cordis.patch.yml under $DSH_HOME/profiles/...:

- id: ui-skins
  name: '@deepseek-ai/dsh-client-ui-skins'

Restart dsh web and pick a skin under Settings → General. The peer dependencies match the published 0.1.0-rc.5 dsh family.

Host prerequisite: persistence needs the ui-skins namespace on the Host API-proxy's Web settings allowlist (WEB_SETTINGS_NAMESPACES in dsh-host-apiproxy). Official builds that ship the skin plugin include it; a stock build without it rejects the browser's settings writes with settings-not-exposed and every choice resets on refresh.

Model Experience

None, as skins are a browser-side preference.

KV Cache effect

None; this package neither assembles nor sends a provider request.

Known Limitations and Deferred Work

• Skins are theme overrides, not full themes — each skin overrides a curated alias-token set; values absent from the override keep the base palette, so a skin does not re-author every surface.
• One scheme per skin — the theme registry pins a colorScheme per registered theme, so a skin is either light or dark rather than scheme-aware.
