While Discord doesnt necessarily look ugly, at least a custom background would be nice.

Though they wont implement these features, most likely for security reasons (Ill explain more later).

The safest way to do this is to add the custom CSS every time you open discord but this method is quite advanced and tedious.

Better Discord Themes Software To Automatically

BetterDiscord is a Discord client modification that works with Windows, Linux, and Mac.

This has a number of improvements github.com BandagedBD is the official installer for BetterDiscord, go ahead and install it.

Better Discord Themes How To Install It

The one that I am using is Discord Dark: Discord Dark - BetterDiscordLibrary A dark theme for Discord, inspired by Github Dark betterdiscordlibrary.com Ill show you how to install it (this goes for all themes too).

This will download a.CSS file, which contains all of the styles for the theme.

Next, go to the menu I showed above in step 1, and click on themes.

Copy the downloaded.css theme file, and paste it in the theme folder.

It should come up in the menu now: Just press the button to enable it, and now your custom theme is activated Comparison of original discord vs new discord: Original Discord New Discord I love the new customizability, and I love my new theme.

However, there is a reason Discord hasnt implemented themes natively yet.

Importing a 3rd party file into your discord client might cause malicious side effects.

However, when you install it, it steals your discord credentials.

Dont worry though, the Discord Dark theme is perfectly safe (I checked the source code myself).
