Method 1: Using embedded functions
While the developers did not engage in expanding the functionality of the messenger in terms of the appearance of the appearance settings, so users are limited to a small set of parameters. Perhaps, in the future there will be several options for those or customizable colors, and so far only font size and scale are available for editing.
- If we are talking about the program Digor for a PC, open the settings by clicking on the icon in the form of a gear to the right of the avatar.
- Go to the "Appearance" section.
- Change the overall design on dark or light, marker the corresponding item.
- When using bright themes, the "Dark Side Panel" option opens.
- You see him in action in the following image.
- To display messages, there are options "cozy" and "compact." In the first case, priority is given to modern design, and in the second - the number of messages displayed on the screen. In addition, there is a slider that allows you to edit the text scale in the chat.
- When it is moved, you can immediately estimate the result in the preview window from above.
- Next is the slider "Distance between Messaging Groups". Increase it if you are lost in the replicas of other server participants.
- The "scaling level" is responsible for the overall size of all displayed items.
Holders of mobile devices cannot install and configure third-party themes for Discord, so only full-time settings are available to them. Their editing is approximately the same principle as in the PC program, but with its own characteristics.
- In the bottom panel, tap the icon with the image of your avatar.
- In the list with settings, find the "appearance".
- In this section, mark the appropriate type of topic marker - light or dark.
- Disable client synchronization if you do not want the current settings to apply on the computer.
- Adjust the text scaling slider in the chat, tracking the result in the block below.
As you can see, make the discord beautiful using the built-in functionality is not particularly obtained, since the parameters present are simply not enough. There is a more advanced option - third-party custom topics, about which we will also describe.
Method 2: Using third-party topics
Third-party topics for the messenger is an excellent tool for the full transformation of the appearance. There are completely ready-made plugins for those who do not want to independently configure the display of elements. All themes are distributed in the form of CSS files and connect to the discord only with the extension called BetterDiscord, the installation of which is written in another material on our website.
