Plugin settings and themes

Plugin settings apply to all workflows. Open Workflow hub → Settings: the top part is Appearance (color themes and the look of display cards), and the rest is split into three groups, Storage, Canvas and Model.

The Settings page: appearance and plugin settings

Use

1. Change a setting.
2. The bottom shows “N unsaved changes”; click Save, or Discard.
3. A setting that differs from its default has Reset to default on its right; hover to see the default.

For settings marked After restart, restart DSH after saving.

Settings

Group	Setting	Default	Effect
Storage	Data folder	~/.dsh/workflow-lite	Where workflows, versions and instance records are kept. Takes effect after restart.
Canvas	Max steps per workflow	400 steps	Beyond this the canvas stops auto-arranging and the workflow cannot run.
Canvas	Autosave delay	400 ms	How long the canvas waits after you stop before writing to disk.
Model	Model read limit	256 KB	The most the model gets when it reads a workflow or run state; raise it if reading a very large workflow fails.
Model	Guides for the model	On	Registers three guides the model reads on demand: designing a workflow, recording run state, writing a canvas dashboard. Takes effect after restart.

Notes

• Changing the Data folder does not move existing data; change it back to the original path to see it again.
• Invalid input shows “Enter a whole number”, “Must be at least N” or “Required”; fix it before saving.
• When the current DSH has no settings service, or its configuration does not allow editing here, the settings are read-only and the top of the page says why.

Appearance

The canvas has four light and four dark color themes, following DSH’s light and dark mode. The choice applies to the current device only and takes effect as soon as you click.

Choose a theme

Open Workflow hub → Settings and choose a Light theme and a Dark theme under Appearance at the top; the one in use is marked In use.

Appearance: eight color themes and the look of display cards

The canvas in a light theme

Light	Character
Daylight (default)	Light gray canvas, pure white cards, the clearest contrast.
Swiss	Neutral gray, square corners and hairlines, Helvetica type.
Mist	Cool white base with blue accents.
Sage	Warm white base with green accents.

Dark	Character
Slate (default)	Cool dark slate gray.
Ink	True black base with more vivid colors; saves power on OLED screens.
Ocean	A dark base with a hint of blue.
Umber	A dark base with warm brown and amber accents.

Displays on the canvas

Displays on the canvas sets the look of display cards for everything, Soft cut-out by default; a single card can pick another under Canvas display. The four looks are described in Canvas display.

The interface language supports Chinese and English, following DSH’s language setting.
