FAQ

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

Option 1
Download from the BetterDiscord site. This one will automatically update with new releases.

Option 2
Download from releases and select one of the following:

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

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. You can use your own private Discord server or a site like imgur to host the image.

The usual caveats apply;

• The link must start with https://
• The link should usually end with a file extension eg. .jpg or .png
• The image should be a reasonable size

Read the acrylic wiki page for further info.

Light mode?

This probably won't be worked on any time soon due to time constraints.

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?

You can increase the icon size (up to ~30px) in the options.
