nishuoyang/dsh-wallpaper-bg
An independent animated-wallpaper layer under the DeepSeek Harness interface: built-in art, your own uploads, or your local Wallpaper Engine library.
dsh-wallpaper-bg puts an independent animated wallpaper layer under the DeepSeek Harness interface. It draws from three sources — ten built-in high-res Unsplash images, custom uploads stored in IndexedDB, and read-only local Wallpaper Engine wallpapers — with a looping playback queue per source, four adjustments (fog / dark overlay, blur, brightness, zoom) and a native-background switch that clears the overlays so the wallpaper is fully visible. The README stresses zero local rendering and zero cache files: it never parses scene.pkg, bakes videos or samples the desktop, and lists a black-flash-free cross-fade plus a next-item warm-up so a 4K video transition shows the outgoing wallpaper until the incoming frame is ready.
Install
dsh plugin --profile desktop add dsh-wallpaper-bgCopied verbatim from the README's Installation section, which presents the desktop app's plugin page as the no-command-line path (type dsh-wallpaper-bg into Settings → Plugins) and then gives the equivalent command for when the app's dsh command is on PATH. The CLI / browser route is dsh plugin --profile web add dsh-wallpaper-bg.
Compatibility
The README's Prerequisites list the DeepSeek Harness desktop app (0.2 preview or later), which bundles its own Node.js / pnpm runtime, OR a CLI install (dsh web) with Node.js ≥ 20. The optional Wallpaper Engine library source adds its own requirements: Windows, a local Wallpaper Engine install and Node.js on PATH, because the WE service is a standalone Node process. The README notes the desktop profile is managed exclusively by the Electron app, so booting it from a terminal is expected to be refused.

FAQ
- Does it change my desktop wallpaper?
- No. The README describes the desktop-sync toggle as a read-only follow of whatever wallpaper the desktop switched to; it never changes your desktop wallpaper, never samples the screen and never writes a cache file.
- Do I need Wallpaper Engine?
- No — the built-in wallpapers and custom uploads work without it; the Wallpaper Engine library is an optional extra source that needs Windows, a local WE install and Node.js on PATH.
