Studio 2.1 adds eight new features, plus fixes found while testing them.

New

  • AI modes. Saved sets of reply style, language and instructions: Coding, Writing, Explain simply and Brainstorm to start, plus any you save yourself. Switch with /ai in the composer, from Ctrl+K, or on the AI preferences tab.
  • Spending alerts. Set a daily and/or monthly budget on the Usage tab. Meters show how much you've used, and Studio alerts you (toast, sound and desktop notification) once when you're close and once when you reach it.
  • Chat export. /transcript (or Ctrl+K → Export this chat) saves the open chat as a Markdown file or a PDF, in your theme's colours or plain black on white, or copies it as Markdown.
  • Theme per workspace. Give any workspace its own theme or look, so you can tell projects apart at a glance. It switches as you move between workspaces.
  • Livelier wallpapers. Bing's picture of the day, a slideshow from a folder of your own pictures (every few minutes to once a day), or a muted looping video that pauses when the window is hidden.
  • Prompt packs in the gallery. Add a whole pack of prompts in one click (four starter packs included), or send one of your prompt folders to the gallery.
  • Accessibility. A High Contrast theme, Reduce transparency (solid panels, no wallpaper; follows Windows' own setting), strong keyboard focus outlines and an easy-reading font with roomier spacing. High Contrast always wins over workspace themes.
  • Sunrise and sunset. Schedule entries can switch at sunrise or sunset where you are, worked out on your computer.

Improved

  • Error messages from Studio's background half (updates, sync, gallery, balance) are now translated too.
  • The tab bar in Studio stays readable over wallpapers.
  • Studio's slash commands step aside if DeepSeek Harness ever adds a command with the same name, so the / menu keeps working.

Updating

From 1.3 or later, press Update now in Studio (or turn on auto-updates), then restart DeepSeek Harness. From an older version, use Plugins → Add plugin → github:IRdotAI/dsh-studio.

Your settings carry over, and nothing new is switched on until you turn it on.
