A DSH splash-screen plugin that handwrites your text stroke by stroke, settles on the whale lockup, then fades out; fonts, copy and light/dark theme are configurable.
dsh-ink-whale is a DSH plugin that gives DeepSeek Harness a handwritten splash screen, drawing your text stroke by stroke in real writing order and settling on the whale lockup and caption. It fixes the plain, forgettable default launch and makes each open feel like a handwritten signature. Core capabilities include true stroke-order rendering, a whale push-in with full-screen fade into the main interface, and configurable font, name, greeting, caption, and light/dark theme.

What Does It Do?
Ink Whale is a DSH plugin for DeepSeek Harness that plays a handwriting splash screen on startup, drawing your text stroke by stroke in real writing order and finishing on the whale lockup. It solves the problem of a plain, forgettable launch screen by turning every page load into a short handwritten signature. Core capabilities include true stroke-order rendering, a whale push-in and full-screen fade that hands off to the main interface, and configurable font, text, and light/dark theme.
Core Features
- Real stroke-order writing: draws text stroke by stroke in actual writing order instead of a simple fade or typewriter effect.
- Whale lockup finish: after the text is written, it settles on the whale lockup and caption, then the whale slowly pushes in and the whole screen fades out as the main interface appears.
- Eight handwriting fonts: choose from caveat, tangerine, italianno, parisienne, ems-allure, hershey-script, nanum-pen-script, and klee-one.
- Customizable content: set the name, a greeting template where
{name}is substituted, and a caption; leave the caption empty to hide it. - Theme aware: follow the DSH theme automatically, or force dark or light.
- Accessible and skippable: plays once per page load, can be skipped with a click or any key, and shows the final frame directly when the system's reduced-motion setting is on.
How to Use This Plugin?
After enabling it in DSH, the splash plays automatically once on each page load and can be skipped with a click or any key. To adjust it, open Settings → Built-in Plugins → Splash, where an embedded 16:9 preview and options for name, greeting, caption, font, theme, and the startup toggle take effect immediately. Configuration is written into the profile's Cordis patch and survives restarts; when host settings are unavailable it falls back to local storage. You can also edit the profile's cordis.patch.yml directly, setting font, name, greeting, caption, theme, and enabled under the ink-whale entry.
