FAQ

Where do I download the theme and what file do I download?

Download from releases and select one of the following:

• Fluent-Discord.theme.css - This file will automatically update with new releases.
• Fluent-Discord-static.theme.css - This is the complete compiled theme. You'll have to update manually after each release.

How do I change the accent colour, and what do the numbers mean?

Go to the Colour Selector and select your accent colour from the grid. Then copy the values provided into your CSS file.

How do I use my own background image?

You have to upload a copy of the background, and change the background link in the CSS file. Discord embed links expire after a certain amount of time. Use a site like imgur to host the image instead.

The usual caveats apply;

• The link must start with https://
• The link should usually end with a file extension like .jpg or .png
• The image should be a reasonable size (near your screen resolution)

Read the acrylic wiki page for further info.

Light mode?

Implementing this would require a significant re-work of the whole theme. This won't be worked on due to time constraints (and lack of interest).

How do I make the theme transparent?

This isn't a feature of this theme.

Why don't I get the Fluent icons?

You're probably using Discord in a language other than English.

To do icon replacements the theme has to look for specific strings in accessibility tags which are translated depending on the selected language.

Can I make the server icons bigger?

The structure of the guilds list is needlessly complex which prevents exposing further customisation in the options section. Currently you can only increase the size of the icon (not the button) up to about 30px.

See options.

Where are the server banners?

The location of the banners doesn't work with the theme so they are intentionally hidden. There won't be an option to show server banners.

User profiles with light backgrounds

Try enabling Sync profile themes in Accessibility settings

Missing icons in context menus

These general rules apply to icons

• An icon will only be used for one purpose
• The same icon will almost never be repeated in the same menu
• Sub menus generally will not have an icon

When will X mod be supported?

Also: support requests for plugins on other mods

I won't be adding support due to lack of time and interest.

Theme Keeps Breaking

There can be a few reasons for this

• A/B tests - where small group of Discord users receive an update for testing and the others don't. There's usually nothing that can be done about this.
• You're using the PTB or Canary client. The best fix is to use the stable Discord client (no need to beta test someone's software unless you're being paid to!)

Unnecessary features

Family Centre

Users over 18 can turn off the Family Centre tab shown in the DMs list.

1. Go to User Settings > Family Centre > Settings
2. Turn off 'Enable Family Centre Tab'

Nitro Themes

Colour themes are (obviously) not supported. You should have the "Dark" theme selected (not "Ash" or "Onyx") when using Fluent Discord.

In-app Icon

Other In-app icons are not supported. You should have the "Blurple (Default)" option selected.

UI Density

UI Density generally doesn't have much effect and can be kept on the default setting.

Transparency

Transparency isn't supported on this theme. Window snapping will also stop working properly when enabled.

For BetterDiscord:

1. Go to User Settings > BetterDiscord Settings > Window Preferences
2. Turn off 'Enable Transparency'
3. Restart Discord for changes to take effect

For Vencord

1. Go to User Settings > Vencord
2. Turn off 'Enable Window Transparency'
