dsh-skin-studio: A Skin Plugin Adding Background Images and Frosted Glass Masks to DeepSeek Harness
wsj060618/dsh-skin-studio
A DSH plugin that adds custom background images and a frosted-glass overlay to the DeepSeek Harness UI, with adjustable fit mode, mask opacity and blur while keeping the original theme colors.
dsh-skin-studio is a skin plugin for DeepSeek Harness that lets you place your own background image behind the interface without touching the theme service. A semi-transparent mask combined with a frosted-glass effect softens the picture so it never distracts from reading, and both density and blur can be tuned separately. Colors, text, and bubbles keep following the original theme, and the mask tracks the base color when you switch between light and dark. Images stay on your machine and the plugin makes no network requests, making it a good fit for DSH plugin users who want personalization with privacy.

What Does It Do?
Skin Studio (dsh-skin-studio) is a DSH plugin for DeepSeek Harness that adds background images and a frosted-glass mask to the interface. It solves the problem of wanting a custom background without touching the theme service: colors, text, and bubbles all keep following the original theme. It is maintained by wsj060618 under the MIT license, written in JavaScript, and was last updated on 2026-10-04.
Core Features
- Background image: upload your own picture behind the UI, with fill, fit, and tile adaptation modes.
- Global mask blur: a semi-transparent mask plus a backdrop-filter frosted-glass effect, with density and blur adjustable separately.
- Mask density control: 0% is fully transparent and 100% is fully opaque, so you can tune how visible the background is.
- Blur amount control: 0 means no blur, and higher values soften the background further.
- Theme-aware masking: when you switch between light and dark themes, the mask automatically follows the current theme's base color.
- Local privacy: background images stay in your machine's localStorage and are never uploaded; the plugin makes no network requests.
How to Use This Plugin?
After enabling it in DSH, a "Skin Studio" entry appears in the sidebar; open it to configure everything. Start with the background image section to pick a picture, then choose fill, fit, or tile as the adaptation mode. Next, adjust mask density and blur amount in the global mask section to soften the background. When you switch between light and dark themes, the mask follows the base color automatically, so no manual reset is needed. The plugin relies on the DSH client layout slot capability, has been verified on the desktop (Electron) build, and runs on the web platform.
How to Troubleshoot This Plugin?
If the "Skin Studio" entry does not appear in the sidebar, the plugin usually was not loaded correctly under the web profile; re-enable it following the official instructions. If the background image or mask effect does not apply, first confirm you are running the desktop (Electron) or web platform, and check that the required layout slot capability is available.
