Note

Following discord's age verification announcement from the 9th feb, i (milbit) decided to step down indefinitely. kinggamingyt will be the maintainer going forward.

i can no longer justify creating a theme for a platform that wants me to send my ugly ass face just to use it. i don't trust them with my sensitive data, especially after the last breach.

if you're looking for an alternative, there is stoat and spacebar, stoat having the most users

Avoid Fluxer. While it may be open-source under the AGPL license, it uses a CLA; The project maintainer Hampus owns all contributor code and can make it closed-source later, a technique used by things like MongoDB to lock users in and enshittify later. It is not truly free

CLA was removed on the 18th february!

OldCord

A Discord theme that tries to restore its 2020 UI

By default, it removes profile effects (like banners) and clan tags. See addons below to get them back!

Important

• For the old grey colors, use the "Ash" theme in Appearance under settings
  • Don't use vencord's "Client Theme" plugin, use Discord's own theme picker (with fakenitro if needed)
• Enable "Sync Profile Themes" in Settings > Accessibility to fix broken profile colors
• Disable "display name style" in Settings > Accessibility if you don't want the flashy names
• UI Density should be on default, i won't support the other 2 options (they still kinda work, though)
• If you use BetterFolders, expect half your screen to turn blank every few months

Light mode

Light mode is CUSTOM, it has higher contrast and slightly darker colors with adjustable tint, keeping it bright while not burning your retinas

It is currently not compatible with ShowEffects, sorry

preview slightly outdated

Adjust the tint with --oldcord-tint, value/number has to be in HSL hue (e.g. 200). You can find it in the theme's oldcord.theme.css file.
