dsh-wallpaper-engine Repo Summary
dsh-wallpaper-engine is a utility DSH plugin for DeepSeek Harness (DSH) that turns your Wallpaper Engine wallpapers into the dynamic background of the DSH web GUI (dsh web). It solves the problem of a monotonous default interface by letting you showcase your favorite wallpapers behind the chat interface, with multiple sliders to fine-tune blur, brightness, border, and the liquid glass effect of the dialog, making your DSH more beautiful and personalized.
What core features does the dsh-wallpaper-engine DSH plugin support?
The plugin automatically discovers the Wallpaper Engine installation on your machine (by reading Steam's libraryfolders.vdf, so it works even when Steam is on a non-default drive) and enumerates all wallpapers. It supports two portable wallpaper types: Video (.mp4) and Web (HTML). Scene and Application types are not portable because they rely on Wallpaper Engine's own rendering engine or external window injection, so they are hidden from the picker and rotation candidates. The plugin registers same-origin HTTP routes on the DSH webserver to fetch the inventory, stream media, and serve preview images. You can choose a wallpaper from the settings, fine-tune it with four sliders, and pause or clear it anytime.
How do I install dsh-wallpaper-engine?
For regular users, install the published npm package with the following command:
dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-plugin-wallpaper-engine
Then restart dsh web and open Settings → General → Wallpaper Engine. If you are a developer, you can clone the repository and install it via link: to your local folder.
Which DeepSeek Harness versions and platforms are compatible with dsh-wallpaper-engine?
Maintained by elysia395, written in JavaScript, and last updated on 2026-08-17, this plugin depends on DSH's client runtime, UI slots, and host webserver, so a recent DSH version is required. It works best on Windows with Wallpaper Engine, as Wallpaper Engine itself is a Windows application.
What are the wallpaper type limitations of dsh-wallpaper-engine?
Wallpaper Engine wallpapers come in four types: Scene, Video, Web, and Application. Only Video and Web are portable to DSH; Scene and Application cannot be used as live backgrounds because they depend on Wallpaper Engine's proprietary rendering or external window injection. Therefore, the plugin's picker and rotation candidates automatically filter out these unusable types.
How can I develop or contribute to dsh-wallpaper-engine?
