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. |

I made a similar theme that is trying to be close to the old one, contribute if you can !
What about making non-selected servers have a circle icon instead of a square? I can't tell what server I'm on easily.
