About this guide

This is a step-by-step guide to creating Discord themes. Use the buttons above to navigate the guide.

TL;DR

• If you just want to set a colour scheme with a background image, and don’t have the time or energy to read this page, use bdeditor.dev.
• If you would like to theme and would like to jump right in, see my theme template.

Pre-requisites

Since the guide is aimed at beginners, there is very little assumed knowledge. However, you will need to know:

• how to use your computer,
• a little about HTML, and
• nothing about CSS or GitHub or npm.

There are detailed instructions for the usage of the main three desktop client mods:

• BetterDiscord,
• Replugged,
• Vencord.

However, the general principles apply to most client mods.
