What Does It Do?
dsh-wallpaper-bg is a DSH plugin for DeepSeek Harness that adds an independent animated wallpaper layer under the web UI. It solves the problem of a static background, letting you use built-in wallpapers, upload local images/videos, or connect to your local Wallpaper Engine library directly inside the harness. Maintained by nishuoyang under the MIT license, it was last updated in 2026-08.
Core Features
- Three wallpaper sources: 10 built-in high-res Unsplash images, custom uploads (images/videos stored in IndexedDB), and read-only access to the local Wallpaper Engine library (filtered by Steam subscription).
- Playback queues: drag wallpapers from custom uploads or the WE library into a queue for loop playback, with per-item duration of 1-10 minutes, drag-to-reorder, click-to-jump, per-item remove, and clear-all.
- Four render modes: static images (cover-fit), videos (canvas rendering with 30 FPS cap), scenes (WE official preview), and web wallpapers (iframe rendering).
- Five adjustments: light fog/dark overlay (auto-switching with DSH theme), background blur (0-20px), brightness (50-150%), and safe zoom (0-10%).
- Sync desktop wallpaper: read-only follow of the current WE desktop wallpaper with 30-second polling.
- WE library filters: by type (video/scene/web) and rating (safe/18+), with red badges on 18+ cards.
How to Use This Plugin?
After enabling it in DSH, refresh the page to see the animated wallpaper background. In the panel, switch between the "Built-in / Custom Upload / WE Library" tabs and click a wallpaper to apply it; drag wallpapers into a queue for loop playback. To adjust behavior, use the blur, brightness, and zoom sliders, or enable "Sync Desktop Wallpaper" to follow your desktop. All settings persist to localStorage, and the UI auto-turns semi-transparent to reveal the background.
