Introduction
dsh-client-ui-m3-theme
Material 3 theme plugin for DeepSeek Harness (dual-face package): derives the
full --dsw-* color-token set from a single primary color, with separate
light/dark palettes, plus a settings panel for enabling the theme and choosing
the color.
Features
- Full mapping of ~65 visible
--dsw-*color tokens (surfaces, borders, text, brand, buttons, interactive states, markdown, scrollbars, status colors, component-specific surfaces, toast/tooltip). - Separate light/dark palettes derived from one primary color:
- dark neutral surfaces/borders carry slightly higher chroma (M3 dark-scheme practice);
- the dark primary palette boosts chroma to compensate for lost saturation on dark backgrounds;
- tooltip is a fixed inverted surface (bubble text is static white), so its background stays dark in both modes;
- the five text levels (primary → secondary → tertiary → caption → dimmed) align with the shipped lightness ladder.
- Settings panel "M3 Theme":
- enable/disable switch for the whole token layer;
- color-source switch: browser-local color (localStorage) or machine config (settings.yaml injection);
- one custom primary color picker;
- priority explainer card;
- zh/en i18n — panel and nav copy follow the UI language.
- Persistence:
- browser pick →
localStoragekeydsh.m3-theme.primary(instant effect, cross-tab sync); - machine config →
settings.yamlnamespacem3-theme(registered by the host half, injected into the page aswindow.__DSH_M3_THEME_PRIMARY__); - switches →
dsh.m3-theme.enabled('0'disables the layer) anddsh.m3-theme.useLocal('0'ignores localStorage and uses the injected value).
- browser pick →
Primary color resolution
useLocal switch | Resolution order |
|---|---|
| ON (default) | localStorage → settings.yaml injection → built-in purple #6750a4 |
| OFF | settings.yaml injection → built-in purple #6750a4 (localStorage ignored) |
Panel picks are written only to localStorage — they never write back to settings.yaml.
Install into a DSH profile
-
Add the git dependency to the profile's
package.json:{ "dependencies": { "dsh-client-ui-m3-theme": "github:DarkskyX15/dsh-client-ui-m3-theme#v0.2.0" } }To track the branch instead:
"github:DarkskyX15/dsh-client-ui-m3-theme#main". -
Insert the entry into the profile's
cordis.patch.yml:- insert: - id: ui-m3-theme name: dsh-client-ui-m3-theme -
Reinstall and restart DSH:
pnpm install(The host half registers the settings namespace and injects the boot color; the client bundle is scanned at startup, so restart the DSH process.)
Usage
-
Settings → M3 Theme: toggle the theme, choose the color source, pick the primary color.
-
External config — edit
~/.dsh/settings.yaml:m3-theme: primary: "#39c500"With the "browser-local color" switch ON, the browser pick takes precedence over this value; turn the switch OFF to use it directly.
Structure
lib/index.js— host half: registers them3-themesettings namespace (schema validation) and injects the boot primary viawebServer.tapIndex.lib/client.js— browser half:window.__ModuleLoader__.loadregistration, token derivation (hex↔HSL, tone stepping, per-mode palettes), the settings panel, and zh/en dictionaries.- No build step:
lib/is the shipped artifact — commit changes directly.
Development
node --check lib/client.js # syntax check
node --check lib/index.js
The browser bundle is served by the /plugins/<id>/client.js route, which
reads the file from disk on every request (cache-control: no-cache): after
editing lib/client.js a page refresh is enough. Changes to lib/index.js
(host half) or package.json require a DSH restart.
