EVA-Inspired-Theme

English | 中文

A Neon Genesis Evangelion–inspired skin for DeepSeek Harness. Two fully designed modes over one removable override layer, a wallpaper paint layer whose alphas are solved against a contrast budget rather than picked by eye, and a boot mask.

This repository ships no background picture of its own: the paint layer is here, the artwork is not. Instead the tracked wallpaper manifest names two third-party pictures by URL, so a clone draws a background the browser fetches from those hosts at paint time. The only pictures in git are the brand marks and the two preview screenshots, which naturally show the art the app was painting; the theme's look is otherwise unchanged — the alphas, the boot mask, the brand mark and the fonts all come from this repository.

Preview

Both modes, captured from a running DeepSeek Harness with this package mounted. The session list is hidden in both shots; nothing else is retouched.

Title Card — light

Central Dogma — dark

The backgrounds are the theme's two third-party pictures — what a clone fetches at paint time. The light shot was taken before the light default moved to its page on haowallpaper.com (D83), so that one shows an earlier, lower-resolution upload of the same artwork; the dark shot is the picture the manifest still names. Credits are in Fan work and attribution.

What it is

· Modes · Title Card (light) and Central Dogma (dark) Token layer · 55 measured overrides (41 in the light arm, 14 in the dark arm) on a single removable layer Wallpaper layer · No artwork ships in this repository; the browser fetches it at paint time. The tracked manifest points at two third-party pictures — the light default on haowallpaper.com, the dark one on wallhaven — and the maintainer's own machine embeds local copies instead. Surface alphas are solved against a WCAG contrast budget Boot mask · Plays once per DSH launch — the mark lives in sessionStorage, so a reload inside one run does not replay it and quitting DSH does; ?boot=0 skips one, ?boot=1 forces one. Timings and look unchanged Brand mark · One monochrome SVG illustration, drawn at 28×28 inside the 36×36 slot beside the wordmark Composer row · The model and effort triggers carry no chevrons; on a narrow row both become 28×28 icon buttons level with the add and dictation buttons, and the whole row shares one seam (6px wide, 3px narrow) Also inside · A plugin on/off switch and a session-row status rail, both vendored from MIT plugins; a pin button on every workspace and session row; a switch for the WeChat workspace on the workspace row, shown only while WeChat holds an account Language · All user-facing text goes through the official locale service (zh / en)

The theme installs one layer and can be removed as one. It ships no settings panel of its own — the look is fixed, not a preference — and the only thing it persists is the workspace pin set. It does hide and move a few official entries, so read What it changes in the interface before you install it.

What it changes in the interface

Removing the package takes the layer away again and every official element comes back. In between, the theme hides six official entries, rewrites the sidebar identity line, replaces one page's heading, and reshapes the composer's control row. All of it is CSS plus a few client effects — the official DOM is never rewritten — but here is where things went.

The brand row is three click zones

The sidebar brand row reads [illustration] WHALE-01 [SYSTEM]; the official wordmark and its whale glyph are hidden. It is one official button carrying three zones, decided from the click's x coordinate at click time:

Click · Opens · Because the illustration, left of WHALE-01 · Plugins · the 「插件」/ “Plugins” nav row is hidden the WHALE-01 text · a new session · official behaviour, unchanged the SYSTEM chip, right of WHALE-01 · Settings · the 「设置」 row and its launcher button are hidden

The zones drive the hidden buttons programmatically, so both still open. A Plugins row that your composition does not have is not intercepted at all — the click falls through to the official new-session handler instead of becoming a hole. Keyboard activation (Enter or Space on the focused button) and any click held with a modifier key are left alone. Collapse the sidebar to a rail and there is no brand button, so there are no zones either.

While the DeepSeek account plugin is enabled it puts an account card into the Settings slot, in place of the official Settings button. The theme takes that card out of the layout entirely — no placeholder, no leftover gap — and SYSTEM stays the one Settings entry on the row. Because the card is gone, the click no longer goes through a synthesised keystroke (a dead click on the desktop build); it asks the host's shortcut registry to open settings, which is the door that build answers.

Hidden official entries

Entry · Where · Way back 「应用」/「编辑」 title-bar menu · desktop shell only; absent in a browser · none from inside the app: 关于 / 检查更新 / dsh 命令 / 退出应用 go with it. Quit is still on the tray menu. the second 「新会话」 button · sidebar, below the brand row · WHALE-01, or Ctrl+N — it is a duplicate 「插件」/ “Plugins” nav row · sidebar · click the illustration; no shortcut is left 「设置」 row and its launcher button · sidebar · click SYSTEM, or Ctrl+, 「收起侧栏」 button · left sidebar only; the right sidebar's stays visible · the collapse command itself is untouched the session list's bottom fade · sidebar · it only dimmed the last row the account card (only while the DeepSeek account plugin is enabled) · sidebar, in the Settings slot · removed outright, with no gap left where it stood; SYSTEM still opens Settings

Where a way back names a keyboard shortcut, that is the desktop default — Ctrl+N for a new session, Ctrl+, for settings, both of them the official ones, unchanged by this theme. The web build binds the same two commands to Ctrl+Alt+N and Ctrl+Alt+,.

Nothing else in the sidebar moves. The workspace and session list keeps the official flex: 1 scrolling area, and the bottom area still shows whatever a third-party plugin registers into sidebar.footer.action (a ledger card, say) in the position the host gives it.

The nav area sits under the title bar (desktop shell only)

The first nav button is level with the 对话 / 轨迹 tab row of the main area instead of sitting below it, and the Settings row moves underneath the nav instead of above it. That is the one visible reordering in the sidebar, and it applies to the desktop shell only — the browser build has no title-bar strip to align to, so its layout stays the one the host draws.

The new session page (hero)

Three changes, on that page only:

• the headline is replaced by one fixed German line, exactly as registered:

Wovon man nicht sprechen kann, darüber muss man schweigen;

• the 「预览版」/ “Preview” badge is gone;
• the whale logo above the headline is gone.

That line is set in Great Vibes (SIL OFL 1.1, shipped in the package) at min(44px, 5.3cqw) and never wraps. Two costs, stated plainly: it is injected as generated content, so find-in-page and screen readers do not see it, and it does not follow the interface language — a Chinese and an English user both read the German.

The composer's control row

The row above Send belongs to the host; the theme only reshapes it.

• The model and effort triggers carry no disclosure chevron. Their open state

is already the trigger's own highlight, so the arrow only repeated it.

• The permission trigger loses its arrow as well, and gains back the right padding

the arrow was holding. Its word is its state — the label changes with the level — so nothing is lost by dropping the arrow.

• On a narrow row both triggers become 28×28 icon buttons: same box, same ink as the

add and dictation buttons beside them. A wide row keeps the text labels.

• The whole row shares one seam — 6px when it has room, 3px when it does not — so the

four controls read as one strip instead of four drifting groups.

The four official popovers that hang off that row — permission, session stats, token usage and the context meter — are centred on their triggers instead of left-aligned with them. The sidebar's own view-options menu is left where the host puts it.

What the theme adds

• A pin button on every workspace and session row (置顶工作区 / Pin workspace,

following the host's language). The pinned set is kept in browser storage under eva-theme/workspace-pins; the order it produces is written through the host's own insert-before API, so it survives a restart — and, unlike the pin set, it also survives removing the theme. On the workspace row it sits in the row's own action group, so it takes the same 15px seam as the two official buttons beside it.

• The vendored non-official plugin switch, on the installed group's header in the

official Plugins page: tick which non-official plugins to disable, or to enable again. It switches bundle enablement only — it installs and uninstalls nothing.

• The vendored session status rail: blue and breathing while a session waits for

you (an approval, a question, a plan review), red while it is the one open in the main area, purple while it finished unread. A pinned row gets a rainbow title instead of a rail.

• The boot mask once per DSH launch (the mark lives in sessionStorage: a reload

inside one run does not replay it, quitting DSH does; ?boot=1 forces a replay, ?boot=0 skips one).

Settings themselves remain the official dialog. The single change there is that the dim tint behind it is removed; the panel and click-outside-to-close are untouched.

Requirements

• DeepSeek Harness with a web profile.
• Node.js >= 18 — only for the build and check tools. The theme itself runs in

the browser.

Install

From npm — a versioned tarball with the browser bundle already built in:

dsh plugin --profile <profile> add eva-inspired-theme

Straight from the public repository, which tracks its default branch:

dsh plugin --profile <profile> add github:WhatCannotBeSaid/eva-inspired-theme

The package carries a prepare script that runs exactly that build, so an install straight from the Git URL produces the bundle for you before the package is linked; the npm tarball ships client.js ready-made and runs no build. From a local checkout or a clone of it:

npm run build                                              # writes the browser bundle
dsh plugin --profile <profile> add link:<path-to-this-checkout>

Run the build once after cloning: client.js is generated and deliberately not tracked (see Layout). A plain git clone needs one build — npm run build, or any npm install inside the checkout, which triggers prepare. A clone builds the tracked form: the paint layer points at the two pictures named in build/wallpapers.json and the browser fetches them, so the background needs a network and the host learns the viewer's IP. That is the intended public form.

The package declares dsh.bundle.patch, so the profile reconciles its bundle stack against the installed package and mounts the theme. If it does not appear after a restart, append eva-inspired-theme to dsh.profile.bundles in the profile's package.json — a package that is merely a dependency is not mounted.

Remove

dsh plugin --profile <profile> remove eva-inspired-theme

Drop the entry from dsh.profile.bundles too if you added it there.

Layout

index.js              host half — mounts, registers no route, plays nothing
client.js             GENERATED browser bundle. Not tracked; build it. Do not edit.
src/client.js         service and effect orchestration
src/runtime/          private glass/pins/im/panels mounts
src/theme.css         the token layer
cordis.patch.yml      the bundle-patch mount declaration
build/                shipped assets + the two vendored client halves
build/wallpapers.json the TRACKED wallpaper manifest — art URLs, not image bytes
tools/                build, self-check, token audit
docs/                 design log, recon, audits, render reports, preview shots
NOTICE                upstream licences and third-party credits
LICENSE               this package's layered licence
LICENSE-CC-BY-NC-SA-4.0.txt  the CC licence text for the brand marks

client.js is generated from src/ and carries a banner saying so. Edit src/ and run npm run build; the check gate fails if the two drift apart.

The wallpaper manifest has two layers, and the tracked one names art instead of carrying it:

• build/wallpapers.json — tracked. Two entries, each with a direct: URL that

points at a third party's copy of the picture, plus the page: a credit belongs on. The build emits url("https://…"), so the theme keeps its background while this repository still holds no image bytes. An empty list is also legal: it publishes --cp-pick-light: none; --cp-pick-dark: none;, the paint layer's documented no-art state.

• out/wallpapers.local.json — ignored by git. The same shape with dataUrl:

entries; if it exists the build reads it instead and embeds the art, which is how the maintainer's own machine keeps looking the way it does. node tools/build-client.mjs --public ignores it and builds the tracked form anyway.

Because client.js is ignored too, and the tracked manifest holds no dataUrl:, a bundle that carries artwork has nowhere to be committed. Those facts are asserted (wall.2, wall.6, wall.7, wall.8).

Checks

npm run verify

Runs development gates: syntax checks, 25 behavioral/build-contract tests, 127 static assertions, the 55-token audit, and exact artifact/source comparison. Build and check commands accept the same --mode auto|public|local; --public remains an alias. A mismatched artifact/input fails rather than guessing by image format.
