Introduction¶

The DSH (DeepSeek Harness) desktop application supports the installation of startup plugins, which can play a boot animation when a session opens and optionally replace the main interface visual. If you only wish to change the startup experience while retaining the host’s usability, you often need to compromise between “pure animation” and “full theme”. Below is the community-maintained VYRON Star Ocean Whale Voyage (dsh-startup-vyron): it synthesizes a startup timeline combining a terminal HUD-style boot sequence with orbital earth visual language, and comes with four UI skin tiers; the public source version continues to run with a fallback chain when certain third-party wallpaper assets are missing.

What is this¶

dsh-startup-vyron is a DSH startup animation + UI skin integration plugin maintained by QIFANAI (current version 0.2.1, code and documentation use the MIT license). During a single startup, it chains a CMD/LN terminal HUD, an orbital earth baseplate concept, and the official big white whale (FishLogo) crossing the star ocean to lock the DEEPSEEK HARNESS logo; the main interface can switch to a “Star Ocean Terminal” skin featuring deep space color scales and glassmorphic decorations.

Public repository description: The mirror corresponds to dsh-startup-vyron@0.2.1 and does not include three 4K baseplates (hero-4k / hero-2k / poster.webp) extracted from Wallpaper Engine, nor the Anurati font; when missing, the baseplate scene in the breach phase degrades to a “procedural deep space gradient,” while other functions remain available. Users possessing the original assets can restore them locally using scripts/prepare-local-media.ps1 and must not redistribute them.

Core Features¶

Startup Animation¶

The default main clock is approximately 9.8s (when splashSpeed is 100), and the default playback speed is 85%. The timeline is divided into six phases: signal → console → breach → whale → lockup → bloom, with the final phase containing approximately 1200ms of host handover (black curtain unfolding from a light seam, zone development, sonar ring flying into the input box, etc.).

• console: Terminal cold boot logs, telemetry radar, micrographics, moon phases, session ledger, and the central ORBIT CORE (ring system, DSH fish logo core, spectrum bars, etc.).
• breach: The ORBIT CORE zooms in to reveal the orbital earth scene; it degrades to a procedural deep space gradient if baseplate assets are missing.
• whale: The big white whale leaps out of the cloud sea, crosses a large arc, and lands at the official fish logo position; accompanied by a procedural synthesized startup soundtrack (approx. 10.4s) and a handover chime (approx. 1.45s, numpy synthesized, no third-party samples).
• Supports 50–150% linear speed change (no pitch change), reducedMotion static end frame, and Esc / Click to skip (controlled by allowSkip).

UI Skins¶

Skins are independent of the startup animation toggle: enabled only controls the startup layer, and the skin takes effect immediately upon saving.

Themes: orbit (default), terra, abyss. The dynamic background is multi-layer pure CSS; it degrades if skinMotion is off or the environment does not support backdrop-filter.

Installation and Enablement¶

First, place the plugin source code in a local directory (see the GitHub link above for the public repository address). Only one startup plugin can be enabled per desktop profile; this plugin is mutually exclusive with dsh-startup-elisa, dsh-startup-yomi, dsh-startup-moss, and dsh-startup-screen. After installation, you must fully exit DSH (including the system tray) and restart for the startup animation to play.

To install via an agent in a DSH session (recommended):

plugin_manager install_bundle target="<absolute path to the repo on your machine>"

Or via command line:

dsh plugin --profile desktop add "<absolute path to the repo on your machine>"
dsh plugin --profile desktop list

For troubleshooting details, see INSTALL.md in the repository.

Configuration and Typical Usage¶

Configuration file path: %USERPROFILE%\.dsh\dsh-startup-vyron.json (defaults are auto-completed and atomically written when missing). Example:

{
  "enabled": true,
  "mode": "session",
  "allowSkip": true,
  "reducedMotion": false,
  "sound": true,
  "volume": 65,
  "splashSpeed": 85,
  "skin": "glass",
  "skinTheme": "orbit",
  "skinMotion": true,
  "glassTransparency": 50
}

Common item meanings:

• mode: session / daily / always, controls playback frequency.
• splashSpeed: 50–150, default 85.
• skin / skinTheme / glassTransparency: Appearance tiers and glass transparency (0–100, 50 is standard).

Entry point: DSH Settings → “VYRON · Star Ocean Whale Voyage” (Playback, Sound, Appearance Skin, Preview). Ctrl+Alt+V triggers a full-screen preview on any page, playing the real startup layer once.

For offline QA, you can open the preview page in the repository:

file:///<repo path>/preview/index.html

It supports query parameters, for example ?t=5.6 freezes at a specific animation second, ?speed=50..150, ?sound=0, ?reduced=1, and ?probe=1 outputs a [vyron-probe] timestamp.

Suitable Scenarios and Notes¶

Suitable for users who want a unified “Star Ocean Terminal” startup narrative on the DSH desktop and are willing to fine-tune skin tiers and startup frequency. The plugin runs with the permissions of the current DSH process. You should read the source code, LICENSE, and THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md yourself before installing. The copyright of the DSH brand fish logo, etc., belongs to DeepSeek and is for identification purposes. The SkillHub directory is an independent site with no official affiliation to DeepSeek or Huanfang.

Development side: npm test runs six sets of smoke tests; npm run check:public validates the public repository access control. Runtime environment requires Node >= 20.

Conclusion¶

dsh-startup-vyron packs the startup sequence, procedural soundtrack, and four glassmorphism skins into one bundle; the public version completes the fallback process even if wallpaper assets are missing. Refer to the GitHub repository README and docs/ for installation instructions and animation specifications.
