Revert the new desktop Discord UI (2025)
Raw
guide.txt
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.

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:
