E-Ink Retro for DeepSeek Harness

English | 简体中文

E-Ink Retro is a client-side theme for DeepSeek Harness. It uses neutral paper surfaces, near-black type, hard offset shadows, compact corners, and black-and-white selection states. The geometry takes cues from classic Macintosh interfaces while keeping the DSH layout and workflows recognizable.

Highlights

• 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.
• Links, menus, form controls, tree items, and other adapted elements share a visible keyboard focus treatment.
• Images, attachments, video, canvas output, and iframe content keep their original rendering.
• Theme settings follow the DSH page language in English or Simplified Chinese, with English as the fallback.
• The theme pauses when you select another third-party theme.

Modes

Mode	Behavior
Balanced	Applies the paper-and-ink shell and control language. Semantic status colors and user content remain available.
Immersive	Maps supported DSH surfaces, status tokens, and verified compatibility layers to grayscale. User media remains unchanged.
Off	Releases the theme token layer and removes the active root attribute. The plugin stays installed.

Install

Requirements:

• DeepSeek Harness with a web profile
• Node.js 20 or newer
• pnpm available to the DSH plugin command

Install the tagged GitHub release:

dsh plugin --profile web add github:exoticknight/dsh-theme-eink-retro#v0.1.0

Restart DSH Web after installation, then open Settings → E-Ink Retro.

Update

Install the newer release tag, replacing the version in the command:

dsh plugin --profile web add github:exoticknight/dsh-theme-eink-retro#vX.Y.Z

Restart DSH Web after changing versions. The tag is intentionally pinned, so updates are explicit and reversible.

Disable or remove

Clear Enable theme in Settings → E-Ink Retro to stop applying the theme without removing the plugin.

Remove the package from the profile:

dsh plugin --profile web remove dsh-theme-eink-retro

Restart DSH Web after removal. The plugin removes its injected style and token layer during unload. Two local mode preferences remain in browser storage so a later reinstall can restore your last selection.

Roll back

Install a specific release tag again:

dsh plugin --profile web add github:exoticknight/dsh-theme-eink-retro#v0.1.0
