| So, you've probably gotten the new desktop client's UI if you're reading this and wondering how to revert the UI back to the classic look of Discord. | |
| This is pretty easy if followed properly, For context, this new UI is called the "Desktop Visual Refresh" and was experimented with by Discord from May 2024. | |
| Anyway, back to the actual guide. | |
| 1. Download Vencord's installer from https://vencord.dev (This is the only official Vencord link!) | |
| 2. Open the installer, install Vencord (It should show your Discord install path) | |
| 3. Once installed, relaunch your Discord client and go to settings, you should see a "Vencord" category. | |
| 4. Go to plugins, search for the plugin called "Experiments" and restart the Discord client. | |
| 5. Go back to settings, scroll down in the menu and you should see alot of new options in the category "Developer Only" | |
| 6. Go to Experiments and search for "Desktop Visual Refresh" then click on it and set it to "Not Eligible" | |
| 7. Enjoy it while it still lasts! | |
| If you want to fix up the UI (padding, scaling, etc.) you can use this CSS listed here: https://gist.github.com/n1d3v/0a856d98b9adda5dda96c0deae32b4f3?permalink_comment_id=5519959#gistcomment-5519959 (Not mine, thank you qyurila) | |
| If you don't know how to import it, you can follow these steps: | |
| 1. Open Discord settings, go to the "Vencord" category and click the "Vencord" option. | |
| 2. Click "Edit QuickCSS" and paste the code in | |
| 3. Exit the QuickCSS window and your done! Discord should be looking mostly normal again. |
@Tulugaak That worked Thank you so much! hope i can find a new theme that was close to that one though. Really irritating that it breaks almost all themes that were present before :/

I made a similar theme that is trying to be close to the old one, contribute if you can !
In my opinion, this is as close to the old UI as we'll ever get.
I'm sure someone will at some point recreate the old UI, I could try at some point, but I'm not great with this stuff. If I attempt anything I'll post it here.
Fuck discord, literally unusable. Also return russian voice servers
I cant find "Desktop visual refresh" in experiments anymore?? My discord was with the old UI by doing this before but I don't know why today it's just disappeared.

What about making non-selected servers have a circle icon instead of a square? I can't tell what server I'm on easily.

had anyone tried to make CSS code specifically for the voice/video buttons to revert them to look more like the old UI look?
cause i hate that i have to keep going into the voice channel to use something like the soundboard
Very late to the party but I just finished a 5 hour css marathon to get back to what I remember being the last good UI in April 2025:
@import url("https://constrat.github.io/revert-discord/revert.css");You can also just get the .css file and make the changes that suit you the most
A lot of the rulesets used were just modified by me. Refs:
better late than never, thanks!

neat, but the chatbox is still rather big ngl
edit: there is a gap at top of window
I haven't touched the chatbox, especially after they finally realigned it. I got used to the "... is typing" being above now.
Anyway, not sure about which gap you're referring?
I don't notice anything wrong here.

the list gets cutoff, the top has small gap
That's... Normal? That's the main discord bar. It might look a bit weird but I'm really not sure how it was done before as honestly I forgot. Having the server list go ALL they way to the window extremity would look even worse personally.
Perhaps this remained focused

went to load it into my quickcss on vencord and it doesnt seem to work :(
Working for me :P
well, the other elements seem to be fine but this little bar ~~basically the main thing i came here to fix~~ doesnt seem to work. unless thats intentional and i misunderstood what your theme is trying to accomplish :P
I've tried changing that. It's a pandora's box, also every new update keeps breaking the theme so I think soon ™️ I'll probably stop maintining it which is unfortunate, but that's Discord for you

This theme also doesn't work to shrink the username/voice chat box either unfortunately
@n0cturnal0709 from the looks of it, it could just be a broken window theme (the theme which controls the three buttons in the top right) that hasn't been updated yet, try switching back to the default one and seeing what happens
