Intro

The classic low-contrast, eye-friendly palettes for DeepSeek Harness — one package covering Web GUI (dsh web), DSH Desktop and dsh-TUI:

• ☀️ Solarized — Ethan Schoonover's carefully tuned 16-color system, designed for long reading sessions without eye strain.
• 🟢 Selenized — its refined take: the same low-contrast philosophy with modernized hues and better color distinction.

Both come in dark and light, registered into the built-in theme system on a level with the light/dark/system choices — with canonical syntax colors for code blocks and a one-click switch row in Settings → General that remembers your choice.

Features

• 👁️ Eye-friendly by design — Solarized's palette is luminance-tuned, not hue-picked, so text stays readable for hours; Selenized keeps the comfort with cleaner, more distinct accents.
• 🎨 Faithful palettes — every color is a canonical Solarized / Selenized value; no default DeepSeek blue-gray leaks through.
• 🖥️ Canonical syntax colors — code blocks follow the classic Solarized syntax mapping (keyword magenta, string cyan, number blue…).
• 🖱️ Component-level accents — bubbles, tool-call rows, code tags, timestamps and hover interactions tinted from the palettes.
• 💻 dsh-TUI themes — one install command drops the four themes into your terminal client; auto-synced on every start.
• 🔄 Update check — Settings silently checks npm for a newer release (manual button too) and shows a copyable upgrade command.
• 🧠 Choice remembered — survives restarts and model switches; turning it off restores the light/dark choice you had before, not a forced "system". Desktop port churn is covered by durable state under $DSH_HOME.
• ⚙️ Zero intrusion — switching to Default restores the built-in appearance pixel-identical.

Install

From GitHub (recommended — always the latest):

dsh plugin --profile web add github:zhijun-dai/Solarized-dsh-theme

From npm:

dsh plugin --profile web add @yuquexianzhou/solarized-dsh-theme

💡 The npm release may lag slightly behind GitHub. For the very latest, use the GitHub install above (pin a branch with #branch-name).

For DSH Desktop, target the desktop profile:

dsh plugin --profile desktop add @yuquexianzhou/solarized-dsh-theme

dsh-TUI (terminal themes)

The same package syncs the four themes into your dsh-TUI. Install into the TUI profile and they land on the first start:

dsh plugin --profile dsh-tui add @yuquexianzhou/solarized-dsh-theme

Then pick a theme inside the TUI: /theme solarized-dark.

💡 Installed into a web/desktop profile of a user who also runs dsh-TUI, the themes stay in sync on every web start. No ~/.dsh-tui on disk? Strict no-op, nothing is created.

Restart the web server afterwards:

dsh web

Usage

Open the web UI, go to Settings → General, and pick one of the four themes (or Default to follow the built-in appearance). Choice is saved per browser and restored at boot.

FAQ

Q: Why do the colors look "washed out"?

That's the point — Solarized deliberately keeps contrast low so text stays readable for hours without eye strain. If you want more punch, Selenized offers the same comfort with stronger accents.

Q: How is my choice remembered?

Browser localStorage (instant) plus a durable file under $DSH_HOME for Desktop — survives restarts, model switches and per-launch port changes. Your explicit light/dark/system pick in the built-in Appearance row always wins.

Q: How do I upgrade?

Re-run the install command, or check the Settings row — it silently tells you when a newer version exists and shows the copyable upgrade command. Then restart dsh web.
