DEEPSEEK-HARNESS-Boot-Animation-Male-Version: A Skippable Boot Animation and Wallpapers for DeepSeek Harness

What Does It Do?

It is a DSH plugin for DeepSeek Harness that plays an 8.6-second blue-toned boot animation when the Web UI opens, paired with three matching deep-blue wallpapers. It solves the problem of a plain, atmosphere-less startup screen, turning the launch of DSH into a skippable and customizable visual moment. Everything runs locally with no network access, and preferences stay in the browser's local storage.

Core Features

• Boot animation: plays a full-frame 8.6-second 1080p blue-toned clip on page open and fades out automatically; click the screen, press ESC, or hit Enter to skip.
• Three matching wallpapers: Awakening, Gaze, and Silence, taken from freeze frames of the same animation, with the monitor bezels cropped out during packaging.
• Three wallpaper motion modes: static, slow zoom (slowly pushing in and cross-fading between the three wallpapers every 26 seconds), and video loop (the same clip as background with cross-fades instead of hard cuts).
• Adjustable background mask: 0–85% range using the current theme's base color, so text stays readable in both dark and light themes.
• Accessibility and power awareness: the animation is skipped and wallpapers fall back to static when the system's reduced-motion setting is on; video mode uses more power.
• Local-only, safe routing: the host half registers a single same-origin media route that serves only whitelisted files from the package, supports Range and ETag, and never writes files or reaches the network.

How to Use This Plugin?

After enabling it in DSH, refresh the page to see the boot animation; settings live under Settings → Boot Animation at the bottom of the sidebar. There you can toggle the animation, choose whether it plays on every refresh or once per tab, enable sound, hit Replay to preview, and pick a wallpaper (including None), a wallpaper motion mode, and the background mask strength. Preferences are written to browser local storage, and clearing the corresponding keys restores defaults; keep only one background or boot-animation DSH plugin enabled at a time, since a later-mounted wallpaper layer covers earlier ones.

How to Troubleshoot This Plugin?

If the plugin does not appear in the plugin list, add it to the profile's bundle list as described in the official instructions, or enable it manually under Settings → Plugins; when installing into another profile, replace web in the configuration with that profile's name. If the animation or wallpaper does not show, first confirm you are on the Web platform, since the host half silently skips route registration in headless or TUI environments, which is expected behavior.
