the pull request in question
storm wing
little thing but i think buttons such as these should open a new page instead of replacing the current, simple little target="_blank"
compact bloom
no
opening in a new tab is bad user experience
if the user wants to open in a new tab they can do it themselves via themselves via middle click or right click

how did i not notice that until now lmao
compact bloom
should we make the website non free / source available?
it has just occurred to me that there's no good argument for having it be free cause we don't really want people rehosting it
and it makes it so that we can't get impostor sites like .app taken down
crimson plume
honestly yea
recently got a scam a few days ago and it was super obvious
- hosted on github pages
- inspect element already shows it was taken with HTTRACK
- discordapp download link on the download button (😭)

compact bloom
should we make the website non free / source available?
@spark elbow
well actually
AGPL is already very strict
making you link source and stuff
spark elbow
AGPL is already very strict
eh, src available it
we can use it to enforce copyright on impostors that way
spark elbow
You sure about that?
and? why does that prompt an entire remake
it just means we have to update, but theres some migrations that need to happen and we havent gotten around to it
compact bloom
the versions are irrelevant
there's no need to update and much less to rewrite the site entirely
safe condor
could you have a license where you need to change the branding
is that even still open source though
tepid vigil
Yeah there are a couple of licenses that pretty freely allow for code use but not branding/trademark
MPL 2 is the most widely used, I think
It's why no Firefox forks have "Mozilla" or "Firefox" in their names
vagrant lagoon
vee could also pay to officially trademark or copyright the vencord name and logo
tepid vigil
I can't imagine it costs thousands in Germany, but (I'm pretty sure) you'd need to register a trademark in multiple regions if you really want to enforce it over the internet
I'm like the furthest thing from a lawyer so don't take anything I've said as legal counsel though lol
compact bloom
it costs 300€ but it would likely only be enforceable inside germany
also i'd need to dox myself

The plugin pages should show the same "tags" (or whatever) that venapp shows. Take VolumeBooster as an example. The venapp response shows that it is discord desktop only , while the website does not

what about just copy the whole thing, make it fully black, offset it down and to the right, and set its opacity to like 50% to achieve basically the same effect or something idk

are we talkin about the same thing
cuz i meant like add a shadow to the VC part of the logo so the white outline is more visible against the gradient on the right

btw i had an idea
page that lists everyone who contributed
it'll first list the main people and then all github contributors
compact bloom
yes
spark elbow
tbh that is wrong
spark elbow
if we're going by actual contribution to the codebase, megu should be above autumn
but it's based on commit count
which isnt always indicative of such
compact bloom
not all key people contributed to vencord itself much
spark elbow
megu is still below autumn though
compact bloom
no it doesn't
spark elbow
so if it was factoring that, its doing it wrong
spark elbow
not all key people contributed to vencord itself much
also this, i have a couple PRs for core things in the mod but a lot of my work is here and in other repos which dont get counted xd
im not sure if it makes me key but just pointing out that contributors dont always contribute to the main repo
compact bloom
also there are other ways to contribute
like active mods should definitely also be listed

we can base it off of the repos on the sources page

and people who help in support a lot

sorry if this isn't the right place but are there any plans for an official vencord theme library?
i found https://github.com/Vencord/vencord.dev/pull/44 but it seems to be more targeted towards snippets.
i feel like it would be good stop relying on BD themes because:
- its weird to tell people to go to a completely different site for themes
- activity there is pretty unreliable. although zerebos has been more active recently, there have been periods of time where themes get stuck in review for months (i would know, i became a theme reviewer recently)
- some themes on BD are very old/outdated
- an integration into the vencord settings would be nice
if dvr gets pushed through, pretty much every single existing theme will stop working, so i feel like now would be a good time to consider this seriously.

dvr?

As an example, there is an unofficial plugin, the type of which you can implement your idea. https://discord.com/channels/1015060230222131221/1257070841372610581
raven iris
its not what i'm asking about though
Well, we still need a theme website, but this plugin is a good demonstration of what can be done.

there has been a bunch of talk a few months ago about having a forum for themes, where people who often contribute to making them (for example you) can review them when people are submitting
but vee wanted this to be more integrated into vencord (for example in bunny you can just press install on a forum post to add a theme) but ever since that discussion it’s been just left in the dark, I don’t really blame them because it is a ton of work
vee also wants to avoid use of ‘online themes’ and have them be local at least from what I recall

yeah i agree it should be integrated into the client (like that one bd theme lib plugin) or at least on an official website. any other solution does not have the same level of discoverability or user-friendliness.
i can imagine setting up a whole library and integrated review process is a lot of work lol. i'd be happy to contribute.
i just want to encourage you guys to actually take this on because its kinda a big thing missing from vencord imo

what does this mean? like installing a theme would create a local theme file or something?
i'm pretty sure every major theme uses online imports so it can't really be actually local local
stable wagon
theres an online themes and a local themes section
vee wants to avoid using the online themes section
thats what it means
bronze trail
ok yeah that would make sense
also bd is working on theme settings ui, which is a pretty huge feature if actually implemented
because the #1 question theme devs get is "how do i change/customize x"
stable wagon
not sure how that would be done, it is all just plain text files
making a ui for css seems very silly
It would make sense for something like bunny/enmity because theyre just color changes, but for something as complex as css themes it doesnt seem very practical
bronze trail
not sure how that would be done, it is all just plain text files
i think originally the plan was to use something like usercss, which has a meta at the top
/**
* @name ThemeSettingTest
* @author Zerebos
* @version 2.0.0
* @description Only for debugging.
*
* @var checkbox fontEnable "Font enabled" 1
* @var text fontSize "Font size" 2.1em
* @var color fontColor "Font color" #123456
* @var select fontName "Font name" ["Arial", "Consolas*", "Times New Roman"]
* @var select fontBkgd "Body background color" {
* "Near Black": "#111111",
* "Near White*": "#eeeeee"
* }
* @var text bkgdImg "Bkgd image" http://example.com/bkgd.jpg
* @var text logoImg "Logo image" none
* @var number adOpacity "Ad opacity" [0.5, 0, 1, 0.1]
* @var range imgHeight "Max image height" [50, 10, 200, 10, "px"]
*/
and now zere wants to use css @property
@property --color-blue {
syntax: "<color>";
initial-value: blue;
name: "Blue Color";
note: "More description about this setting";
}
@property --theme {
syntax: "light | dark";
initial-value: light;
name: "Color Scheme";
note: "This sets the base colors for all other colors to use";
}
a {
color: var(--color-blue);
}
@container style(--theme: dark) {
body {
background-color: black;
color: white;
}
}```yes we will implement that too
whatever BD comes up with

Vencord already implemented this like a year ago
but we've been waiting for BD
and BD is 🐌 🐌
bronze trail
Vencord already implemented this like a year ago
wait what??
compact bloom
not merged cause we've been waiting
compact bloom
anyway I did want to make a proper Vencord theme store
but at the same time I don't really care and don't want to have to review themes
if other people are interested in that and want to maintain it and review themes etc sure
we could have it at https://vencord.dev/themes or something
bronze trail
if other people are interested in that and want to maintain it and review themes...
i would
u just need a couple active enough people really
also kinda depends on how secure you wanna make it, bd requires all updates to the main theme file to be approved because it will trigger a "your theme updated" notice
which i think is kinda stupid because everyone just imports from github anyway
compact bloom
seems pointless, don't most themes import remote files??
bronze trail
yeah
compact bloom
the only thing that's needed for security is a proper csp that will block untrusted domains
bronze trail
yop
compact bloom
bronze trail
so really you only need to approve new themes, and those dont get submitted every day
reviewing should not be an issue really
compact bloom
so really you only need to approve new themes, and those dont get submitted ever...
yeah, the biggest obstacle will be building the web ui for it and havign submission
we could keep submission super simple: some github repo with json/yaml files you PR to
then a workflow that compiles them into one single json file and both the website and client can fetch this json
compact bloom
we could keep submission super simple: some github repo with json/yaml files you...
not only would that be simple it would also serve as a quality control gatekeeper cause if you can't open a simple PR you probably cant write a good theme either
compact bloom
we could keep submission super simple: some github repo with json/yaml files you...
something like this
# MyCoolTheme.yaml
name: MyCoolTheme
description: truly a cool theme
author:
name: Vendicated
website: https://vendicated.dev
github: Vendicated
support: [invite code]
image: https://whatever.github.io/image.png
url: https://whatever.github.io/MyTheme.theme.css
tags:
- foo
- bar
so to submit your theme you just create a PR that adds a file with your theme(s)
it could just use the same theme meta format as BD to keep things simple and familiar
we could also omit the image field and instead auto generate screenshots with pupeteer
bronze trail
something like this
```yml
# MyCoolTheme.yaml

yeah this would be good
though i do like how bd will display your theme repo's readme
so you can show additional screenshots and info
though i guess it isn't too necessary if installing the theme is built into vencord
compact bloom
oh yeah
we would definitely have markdown too
we need that to generate theme pages anyway
I totally forgot about that somehow
compact bloom
we could also omit the `image` field and instead auto generate screenshots with ...
This is a good idea tho I think
To make sure we have consistent and distraction free screenshots
bronze trail
true
compact bloom
create an alt that has a channel with all sorts of things to showcase how they look and just take a screenshot with all themes
can easily automate that with pupeteer
bronze trail
lol for my theme i made a little thumbnail graphic from svg to stand out on bd themes
totally understand not wanting that though
compact bloom
wysiwyg banners would be best UX def
most themes already do it more or less anway it seems
bronze trail
yeah as long as it is scaled properly, because normal zoom screenshots look like shit in small thumbnail spaces
compact bloom
could just take two screenshots
one super zoomed in for the thumbnail and then a normal zoom version that you can open in a larger viewer
bronze trail
yea
compact bloom
although idk if all themes support zooming like that without becoming scuffed xD
bronze trail
its a bad theme if it doesn't support that
compact bloom
that's true yeah
hazy egret
auto generating screenshots is fire until you have something that makes a minor tweak to the UI
