dsh-theme-eink-retro: A Paper-and-Ink Client-Side Theme for DeepSeek Harness
exoticknight/dsh-theme-eink-retro
E-Ink Retro is a paper-and-ink client-side theme for DeepSeek Harness with Balanced and Immersive modes, offering a retro Macintosh-inspired monochrome UI.
dsh-theme-eink-retro is a client-side theme built for DeepSeek Harness, transforming the default interface into an e-ink reading experience of neutral paper, near-black type, and hard offset shadows. It offers Balanced and Immersive modes: the former keeps semantic status colors and user media, while the latter maps supported surfaces to a monochrome ink ramp. Keyboard focus stays clearly visible, media like images and video remain untouched, and settings follow the DSH language in English or Simplified Chinese. It pauses automatically when another third-party theme is selected, ideal for DSH plugin users who want a calm, immersive interface.

What Does It Do?
E-Ink Retro is a DSH plugin for DeepSeek Harness that provides a paper-and-ink client-side theme. It solves the problem of overly bright or distracting interfaces, letting you work in a calm, e-ink-like environment. The theme offers Balanced and Immersive modes while keeping the DSH layout and workflows recognizable.
Core Features
- Balanced mode: applies the paper-and-ink shell while keeping semantic status colors and user media.
- Immersive mode: maps supported DSH surfaces and compatibility layers to a monochrome ink ramp.
- Visible keyboard focus: links, menus, form controls, and other adapted elements share a consistent focus treatment.
- Media preserved: images, attachments, video, canvas output, and iframe content keep their original rendering.
- Multilingual: theme settings follow the DSH page language in English or Simplified Chinese, with English as fallback.
- Auto-pause: selecting another third-party theme pauses E-Ink Retro.
How to Use This Plugin?
After enabling it in DSH, open Settings → E-Ink Retro, enable the theme, then choose Balanced or Immersive mode. If you select another third-party theme, E-Ink Retro pauses; re-enabling it or changing its mode switches DSH back to System. To stop applying the theme without removing the plugin, clear Enable theme in the settings.
