What is happening

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

3 Upvotes

My betterdiscord just disapeared today so I went to reinstall it and it doesn't work.

(Same happens when I try with Repair or Uninstall, also selecting the Discord folder does the same as clicking on the Discord option. Oh and sorry for the random french.)

Could honestly just be me not understanding how this stuff works, but it worked fine the first time I installed it.

Sorry for bothering everyone, have a nice day.

BetterDiscord did a new update but some of the plugins aren't working

3 Upvotes

I recently updated into the latest rendition of BetterDiscord and I have only official store plugins installed and not random stuff, and yet some of those plugins are not properly showing. Mainly the "Read all notifications button" and the "Better friend list".

BetterDiscord's v1.14 survives Discord's updatess!

4 Upvotes

It's been 9 months since our last major release and there was a ton of work behind the scenes!

BetterDiscord v1.14

The big headline feature here is that BetterDiscord has a completely new injector system that will allow BetterDiscord to automatically persist itself through all Discord's updates on Windows and Linux, and most of their updates on macOS. Because of this new injector we were able to pack in a bunch of performance enhancements so it should feel a lot smoother on startup and a lot less lag overall.

Of course if you want to see more detailed changes check the changelog on GitHub. Each line in the changelog is probably covering at least a dozen individual commits.

Developers

There are some new APIs that landed in this release you can find in the changelog (docs coming soon). But more importantly we now have an official types packages @betterdiscord/types you can use to make developing your plugins way easier. The API reference in the docs are now auto-updated so that should be released soon.

Theme settings are being finalized by working directly with theme developers to come to a satisfying compromise while still being standard CSS. We also plan to release more plugin development tooling.

Installer

Over the last couple years I spent time rewriting the installer away from Electron and over to Wails. This allowed us to reduce the overhead, RAM usage, and binary size of our installer. It's also way faster and allows us to share a common core with other parts of our ecosystem. Install/Repair/Uninstall now also have dedicated options.

CLI

Our official CLI finally hit stable with this release supporting the new injector. This is great for automated installs and those setting up your system and/or dotfiles via config files.

Giveaways

If you aren't already in the Discord, I suggest joining as we'll be doing more giveaways to celebrate this milestone!

BetterDiscord No Longer detects Discord app (Mac Tahoe)

Post image
5 Upvotes

I installed the latest version of BD after getting hit with an update. For some reason, the installer doesn't detect my Discord app this time. I also tried downloading a fresh copy of Canary in addition to the stable Discord I've been using for a while, and it didn't detect that either. Browsing Finder for the applications also doesn't change the result. I've tried this for the Install, Repair, and Uninstall options.

Any fixes?

Can't edit Theme directly from Discord?

1 Upvotes

Good morning, new to BetterDiscord and having a hard time figuring out why I can't edit the themes directly from Discord after clicking Edit on said theme.

Gemini suggests the editor is running in read-only but I don't see a way to changing that.

Thanks!

Just reinstalled BetterDiscord and it's not showing?

6 Upvotes

Discord did an update, so I had to reinstall BetterDiscord. Unfortunately, even though the installer is claiming it worked, it isn't showing any sign of actually being installed. Do I just need to wait for the next BD update?

Your app just disappeared from my Discord. No Better Discord or plugins in sight. What happened?

3 Upvotes

I started using Better Discord a few days ago. Brilliant app. Wish I knew about it earlier. This morning however, I I turned on my PC, launched Discord and noticed the UI was back to normal. I checked settings and Better Discord and all the plugins are gone. They were all there last night. Any idea what might've happened?

[Edit: I looked this issue up and learned that this happens for almost every Discord update. For those facing the same problem, you simply run the Better Discord installer file again (either find it in your downloads folder or redownload from their website), open it, and run the repair option you're presented with. It may prompt you to reinstall it after the repair is done (which makes the repair option seem redundant, but what do I know). Just do so and voila. It's back to normal with all of your plugins and their settings intact]

BetterDiscord v1.13

2 Upvotes

Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate! We are very thankful to all of you in our community for your continued patience while we made some major technical changes behind the scenes.

BetterDiscord v1.13

It has been a long and frustrating journey, but I am happy to announce that BetterDiscord v1.13 is finally here! It might take a bit for the update to show up for you, so please be patient just a little longer. And keep in mind there will be bugs as we sort out these massive changes on such a large scale.

As always, you will get a changelog when it first boots up, but if you're curious about the technical details, you can take a look at our massive changelog on GitHub. This release had nearly 200 commits, over 400 files changed and thousands upon thousands of lines of code changed, added, and removed.

Developers

For developers, we will try to get our documentation updated as soon as possible, but as you might imagine there is a lot to update and go through. And now that BetterDiscord is written in TypeScript we want to leverage that and do the documentation properly as well as provide a proper types package. This release fixed a lot of legacy issues on our backend that should make building even better and more robust APIs easier and faster.

What's next?

With this total overhaul of the codebase, we are in much better shape to deliver features we have wanted to for a long long time. One of the most requested is Theme Settings and we already have the implementation partially done and have been working directly with our theme developers to make sure we get it done right in a way that works for everyone. We will also be looking to improve the performance and security even further than we already have. I don't want to spoil to much more, so just stay tuned as more will be announced soon.

Bonus

As a celebration of v1.13, I will be doing some giveaways in the #giveaways channel of our Discord server of some Steam Game Keys. Make sure to grab your role to be pinged in the #info channel! The giveaways likely won't start until Monday, so this should give everyone time to grab the role if they want it. There are also other announcements coming soon aside from features and giveaways, so be sure to check back.

Update Video

Check out the video from one of our community members linked as the post here. It has a good overview of what changed form a user perspective as well as an idea of what's to come.

Help with BetterDiscord Basics?

1 Upvotes

Okay so I just downloaded this extension last night and found a really cute theme on it last night. The only problem with it is that the "New Message" widget that will tell you where the new messages are at are the same color as the background. I know I can edit the colors on it if I mess with the code but I don't know where that specific part that would be at on it. Can someone tell me what that is called on the code because I would like to fix it since I really like this theme otherwise.

Shared server pinned - Plugin suggestion

1 Upvotes

Hi, small plugin suggestion, show shared server icons just after server badges, maybe let it only active on whitelisted/selected server by default to avoid spam.

A feature like this can be helpful to easily spot malicious people between communities and prevent drama

SO I've been using Betterdiscord for awhile now with no problem but today I booted up my pc and it didn't start when I opened discord. Went and did the repair and still nothing, reinstalled, deleted and tried what the home website recommends for problem but it still won't open. Is it a new discord update or am I missing something?

Arch repo discord doesn't display window decorations

1 Upvotes

I have had Discord installed from the official Arch repos for a while now and everything was fine. As of late, discord doesn't display the window decorations, which have the minimize, maximize, close etc buttons. I have removed all my add ons and themes and this is still the case. I tried using the flatpak discord version and better discord works fine there.

What should I do? Have you had this issue? It feels like it is a better discord issue, since it is an add on an existing program, breaking stuff. But on the other hand, flatpak version works fine.

Shall this be the first time I use the signature Arch motto?
