i'm having a strange issue with the user list. in some channels, it's normal. in others, it's pushed out of the window.
this occurs both in fullscreen and in not fullscreen
discord issue
well we can't really help you, just stream without audio then
Vesktop just uses electron's capturer api which is based on Chromium's and very limited, we don't have control over it. If audio doesn't work for u, there isn't anything we can do about it
and if your laptop is really that old you might wanna consider using Linux instead, it's much faster than Windows
There are very user friendly Linux distros like Fedora, PopOs Linux Mint
I wouldn't call Fedora user-friendly due to not including proprietary things by default 👀
but Mint is a nice choice
vns
thank you
blud is not femtanyl
I doubt that that's a Vesktop issue. Its probably something related to portals and xdg-open not working for whatever reason. Do you use a desktop environment like KDE/GNOME or do you run a window manager like river, i3 or like Hyprland?
Hhm, I ran dwl for quite a while although currently I am on river
Which portals do you run then?
I think you should only run the xdg-desktop-portal if you are on Xorg
run vesktop from terminal then open a link
see the terminal logs
electron literally just launches xdg-open
do this
Oh then I have no clue, I use musl and appimages don't really work iirc
and it works on the discord desktop app?
okay and xdg-open in your terminal works fine you said?
what does echo $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS say
well there's your problem
it needs to be set
it should be set by your dbus daemon.
Google the variable name and you will find solutions
Can anyone help me with the screen share thing?
I'm using latest Vesktop on Windows 10 and when I click "Go Live", the screen share window just closes
If I disable "Stream with audio" it seems to let me screen share
the right side of the window seems to be going offscreen with my custom theme
with the members list on i can at least see the entire chat bar
with it off it cuts off before it shows all the buttons
is there a way to fix this, or do i just have to deal with it for now
whats vekstop?
I mean it works for me, I run all my proprietary software as Flatpaks as they depend on glibc, I don't like appimages and I don't use 32bit software. So yeah if you don't need that, why not
how to fix this?
it is a discord issue, you need to wait for discord to fix it
(Auto-response invoked by @grim lake)
I was on dwl, aka dwm on wayland, I switched because I could not be bothered to repatch it again after I had to migrate from Alpine to Void, I needed a working machine. And river uses a touch more memory but is a bit more stable in my opinion
Wayland is way more "suckless" than Xorg as well if you care about that
vesktop cannot stream my audio and it even creates the working audio pipes however it doesnt stream any audio
but discord does that without any issues
any ideas?
im on gentoo and i did manual packaging and installing
does this happen on an officially supported package? (flatpak, appimage, deb or rpm)
any image as far as ik
let me try appimage rq from the releases
yes
as far as ik any of the release builds wont work
Do you use systemd?
Do you run elogind?
Then it should theretically work, I run Void Linux, before with just seatd, which discord doesn't like, with elogind it should work
No, if you would have run a wm it could have been something with how you start pipewire
ah
Do you have piperwire-pulse installed?
Wait do you run just PulseAudio?
You need Pipewire for it to work as far as I know
there's something called libpulse for pipewire on gentoo
its prob running
ill check
Your Pipewire should be started through the gentoo-pipewire-launcher
yes
Yeah you should have that installed, it should be started through the pipewire launcher
Hhm, looks fine to me
Wait xinitrc? Are you on Xorg? Shouldn't KDE start through a loginmanager and not xinitrc?
im using startx from tty
i could try to use sddm
im emerging vesktop from gentoo overlays maybe that will fix something
Hello I am not sure if this is the rightchannel to ask but I wanted to know if it's fine if let's say I decided to install Vesktop and now have this and Discord with Vencord patch from the installer
Can I uninstall the normal Discord/Vencord or does it still need em to keep Vesktop running?
uh..so how do i fix this
PLEASE ignore the nickname
oh my god
vencord support not here
so sorrys
@cold solar
dont worry i just saw, so so sorrys, but im not sure what to disable
hi, everytime i try to install vesktop via yay i get this error
the reason to why im opting to install via yay over flathub is bc ive noticed the flathub version does not communicate with the notification manager properly
scroll one page up
and do you have it installed?
if yes tell me which one you're using
in arch wiki it says you need libnotify
nah i uninstalled it
if i were you i would install because vesktop tends to lag without a notification manager whenever someone sends u a notification
oh are u referring to the notification manager?
yes
u're on hyprland right?
i have this installed as well
nice
yessir
you did add exec-once=/usr/bin/dunst
i dont believe so
i should do that
the arch wiki says you should launch it everytime you start your window manager
should i restart? or log out log in?
u can just run /usr/bin/dunst & disown
really odd im getting this error 👀
it already started
ahh
no need to worry about it
gotchu
does it work when you try notify-send?
yessir
nice
also i wouldnt bother trying to clone and use vesktop-git i would just use vesktop-bin or if you really want to lose time compiling it i would suggest you do it yourself using pnpm
the only notifications that dont work are the vesktop one
i actually tried the last one 😭
but ya ill try vesktop-bin
Vencord vs Vesktop
Linux consideration
as far as ik vesktop has special patches for Linux
I needed a more explicit comparison but TY
in my case i used vesktop to stream audio but now with discord's audio support its a little complicated
everything alr?
what is discord branch
it worked!
nice
in fact it's better than before (b4 i wiped and reinstalled arch the notifications would work)
its basically how unstable you want discord to be ig
its like ms edge having different branches like stable, canary, beta and development
They range from Stable being the most tested, Canary being the most recent and PTB somewhere in between
i didnt find an easy solution
what i did was run a loop to readjust the microphone back to its original % level
its basically electron being electron
good luck
disown is only a Gentoo thing as far as I know
first option (will make all your inputs go full volume)
while your DE/WM ; do
devices=`pactl list short sources | awk '{print $1}'`
for i in ${devices}
do
pactl set-source-volume $i 100%
done
sleep 0.1
done
second option (requires you to identify your source through pactl list short sources)
while (your DE/WM process name) ; do
pactl set-source-volume (your device here) 100%
sleep 0.1
done
Give mako a shot. Its Wayland native
or fnott if you don't like to use a mouse
gl
Or just use a laptop as a mic, works great (this is not a serious suggestion lol)
true
I'm new to this, and I was wondering how safe and private vencord is? If vencord is compromised can someone just steal everyones login tokens?
No
Only select people have write access and you are in control of updating vencord
its as safe as any open source project can be, unless someone gets hacked or goes evil you're good
well yeah thats the problem, if one mod or something gets hacked is everyone else screwed over too
then thats an issue with literally every piece of software idk what to tell you
ok disable auto updates and review every commit before updating 😶
hey theres nothing wrong with asking questions and getting information beforehand. I just want to be in the know
is there any telemtry or anything sent to the devs?
no
gotchu gotchu, thanks
why in the new discord theme interface, vesktop doesn't have the minimize, maximize and close controls in the top of the window?
regular discord has it
temporarily disable discord titlebar
how do I do that?
I think vee will fix it soon
https://hugo9655.github.io/SettingsIcons/SettingsIcons.theme.css turn on this link in online themes
how do I fix this
I downloaded vencord but I can't see it
stop crossposting to 3 billion questions
I downloaded vencord I can't see it
It aint showing in settings
Hey y'all, I'm on Hyprland and having an issue where when I open the screenshare prompt and select a window the prompt disappears and never comes back even when I try clicking screenshare again.
I have xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland installed and no other DE packages of the same naming convention same for xdg-desktop-portal
I'm using the HyDE dots from the install script on a clean minimal install of CachyOS
I modified one of the dotfiles so that it set some environment variables that I think I need to make sure this works, attaching that here
I'm running Hyprland from UWSM and I have some uwsm configurations in the userprefs.conf where custom settings are applied in the HyDE
exec-once = uwsm app -- systemctl --user enable --now hyprpolkitagent.service
clicking links in vesktop opens up my browser but not the link, and clicking the link again opens another empty browser window but not the link
does anyone know why this is happening?
What desktop environment are you running
gnome 48!
Ah, not familair with that one. I've used it a bit before but mainly KDE and Hyprland, never encountered the issue you're talking about myself.
Perhaps it might be something to do with your desktop portal though, I know that handles cross-application communication
hmm im not so sure, because just a few days ago it was working just fine and i dont remember changing anything on my desktop
okay nvm i figured it out, it was my mistake haha. the menu entry for my browser was missing a %U at the end
Oh fuck woops am I not supposed to
not you
its because gnome 48 introduced global shortcuts and every time i opened browser, it popped up the portal for that so i edited the entry to disable them from showing up and accidentally removed the %U at the end
lol
Will the old CSS style work in this Discord update or just the new one? I would appreciate a ping pepemoney
hello
is there any way to get notifications to actually open vesktop and go to the source of the notification?
im on fedora linux using system notifs
i could sincerely use someone to break down some of the plugins to me
so ik what i can turn ... offf because theres SOO MANY useful ones
whoops realized i have vesktop
lol
why do you wanna turn them off if they're useful
but i wanna keep most on
go to that channel
i still dont understand vesktop vs vencord
discord is a web app at discord.com/app
vencord is a client mod that injects into that web app
discord desktop is an electron app that loads the discord web app with native features that add functionality to the web app
vesktop is an electron app that loads the discord web app, while reimplementing the native features/enhancing features in an open manner
Vesktop needs Vencord to function because it uses the framework Vencord has created for patching the discord web app
Anybody got any ideas on what else I could do to get this working?
Thanks for explaining
hello, I'm a linux user having issues with chromium based applications eating the first scroll input. I noticed that the vesktop client doesn't do this and wanted to ask if this is an intentional fix and if so how it was implemented
the discord app and steam are two programs where I've been struggling to fix the "first scroll gets discarded" behaviour that appears to have been a chromium bug for almost ten years. I started encountering it when I disabled the broken support for hi-res scrolling on my mouse
is there a way to make vesktop remember where it was between computer restarts?
whenever i restart my pc vesktop defaults to the centre of my main monitor
where as discord always remembers its position on my 2nd monitor
is there a fix for this?
show terminal and devtools logs
what vesktop package?
wayland?
afaik we dont do anything with scrolling
weird, because the flatpak install for vesktop doesn't have this chromium bug that even steam has
it isn't
the only way Vesktop possibly affects scrolling is this switch (which all it does is pass a command line flag to chromium)
maybe it's just cause vesktop is latest chromium which has it fixed?
its also likely it was fixed recently and Vesktop is just on the newer chromium tag
yopp
is there a way I can get that chromium version to find out?
not sure how i tell that but heres this
on windows
I think I found how to try latest chromium, will see if that bug is fixed there
just downloaded the windows installer from the github page no idea if thats wayland or what
Linux stuff
Doesnt apply to you
it's real, it does work, wow
so I guess all I can do is wait and hope other applications update their chromium
lmfao u really gotta stop assuming everyone is on Linux 😭
linux syndrome
u can often upgrade the chromium version
for most electron apps
if I can do it for steam and native discord (flatpak) I'd be the happiest person on the planet
the Discord binary (and any other electron app exe) is just branded electron
you can replace it with the latest electron binary and it'll work
well
you have to do more than that
all of this is electron binaries and the main binary is branded electron
you want to download latest electron zip from github releases, extract it into that folder replacing all files, then replace the branded binary with the Electron binary

you can use Discord Canary it has more up to date electron
or if you're on arch you can use https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/discord_arch_electron
I actually use discord canary and it has the scroll issue that vencord doesn't have
oh funny
https://download-chromium.appspot.com/ this chromium version didn't have it, I went to about:flags and scrolled and it just worked
The easiest way to download Chromium
this is like a hot off the press fix for a 2016 bug
🥸 the vesktop issue template has linux specific questions so uh
tf is appspot dot com
idk it's linked on chromium.org https://www.chromium.org/getting-involved/download-chromium/
oh ic
ok so I download electron linux 64 version on github and replace the files on programs that have the scrolling bug and hopefully it works without burning down my house?
vee linked an example
I'm on nobara which is fedora rather than arch though
why not just use vesktop anyway
same principle
edit the .desktop to run electron path/to/asar
guh u need to do a bit more im pretty sure
no thats it except if youre like discord and signature check as u can see in that package
while I'm good with pcs I'm quite new to linux so how would I do that exactly?
do what
hotkeys, nothing else tbh
edit to parth to a different electron
the thing you were saying, I don't know if I understood fully
where is the discord installation you currently have
/usr/share/discord or something
in the resources folder is an app.asar
run the command electron path/to/that/asar in ur terminal to test
if it works change the exec line in the discord.desktop file to that command
if you want krisp to work youll have to do a bit more
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/discord_arch_electron look at the two scripts in the sources section on this page
alright, I'll take a little break because I've been spending all day getting my mouse to work normally in everything but chromium applications in the first place
I'll see if I can pull that off or just use vencord and accept the lack of hotkeys for now
thanks for the help
Hello, I needed a help with the vesktop app frame. at first it was the default with the windows frame.. so I disabled it thinking it would revert to the custom discord app frame. but now it shows itself like this, without any maximize, minimize etc buttons.
Is there a way to solve this? I want the custom discord app frame so I can use and see the cool-looking circular windows buttons from the midnight theme :P
Here's what I'm talking about
bug with visual refresh on vesktop, will be fixed in next update.
Reverting the UI refresh should work
Ah I see, when will the next update release tho?
It's such a hassle in vesktop now ngl
Uh The theme is for the new UI so yea
But I'll maybe revert it later on
hello, i have been experiencing a bug where sometimes click-dragging (usually by accident, such as when clicking on a server on the left and accidentally 'moving' it) does not end and the entire app becomes unresponsive to mouse inputs as the dragging still appears to be in progress. (keyboard input still works). when this happens i can restore it by using the 'restart' option in the systray menu.
i remember looking around for a solution when i first experienced it and saw some suggestions that it might be an electron bug but there have since been many electron updates that didn't fix it.
is this a known issue? do yall have any suggestions?
i use arch btw
What is vesktop?
Anyone?
when its done
when its ready idk
Um, is there any estimated time?
no
Ah okay
vencord/vesktop relies on volunteers, people with lives
some updates take shorter, some longer, there is never an estimated time
Yeah, sorry for the stupid question T-T
I'm using a css code which add icons before each sections in the settings. It's going great on discord but it's showing some kinda question mark here? any way to solve it?
#🎨-theme-development + and show code there
Uh I'm using the code as an imported version from github...
so anything that can be done about this or am i just cooked?
are there alr thoughts on making a plugin for the soundboard? or does it break the discord tos.
so you can use it for free :)
I know there's a plugin for people who wish to hide the "user is typing." I was wondering if there was a way to bypass that as my friend uses it all the time and I can't tell when he's online or offline or sending me something or ghosting me. Is there like a plugin that counteracts this? Also, is there a way I can get vencord for my Android?
Ping me if you have an answer
well solved this using windows powertoys and making a zone where i want the window to be, then using the move new windows to last known zone
for anyone having the same issue i suppose
Anybody got any ideas of what could be preventing my screenshare from working as described here?
(Auto-response invoked by @timber dragon)
I mean it works on river with xdg-desktop-portal and xdg-desktop-portal-wlr. Probably something related to Hyprland
I brought this exact same issue up in Hyprland and someone in the ticket suggested I go here to ask
Is your portal running properly?
Nah lmao it says it's inactive in systemctl
Which is why I was hesitant to ask here because like
This does not sound like a Vesktop issue
Then activate it
I tried to, running hyprland under uwsm
And I added a line to my .conf that should start it as a systemctl service
But that shit still is saying inactive
What is uwsm?
It's a way to run Wayland sessions as a systemd service
And start up components of it as systemd units
I can run it not under uwsm too by just editing my shell
Apparently from the Hyprland wiki it's the recommended method of running Hyprland
Particularly it has xdg-autostart support which sounded like what I needed
What is the output of echo $XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP and the same for WAYLAND_DISPLAY
Looks fine to me
ℹ️
uwsm users should avoid placing environment variables in the hyprland.conf file. Instead, use ~/.config/uwsm/env for theming, xcursor, nvidia and toolkit variables, and ~/.config/uwsm/env-hyprland for HYPR* and AQ_* variables. The format is export KEY=VAL.
export XCURSOR_SIZE=24
...
Read these, they might help you
Yeah that's what I already read lol
I have checked like all of these twice
Hhm, then I can't help you. Works like a charm for me, although I don't use systemd
All good, thanks for at least confirming for me this is not a vesktop problem
this is a super niche question but does anyone here use Touchportal and specifically the discord plugin for it if so can you tell me if said plugin works with vescord?
if you stream on your pc over vesktop ppl can hear your stream right?
i just dont get why it only happens on gentoo
wait...
Go Live button doesn't work on Vesktop Windows 10 unless I disable Stream with audio
Anything I can do?

@dapper stag second time ive seen someone mention this..,,
skill issue

windows users keep losing
maybe this is why i cant stream audio?
one is the mic input the other is the stream input
idk
pipewire is so chaotic to me
look at the qpwaudio graph node graph
when streaming with audio
if the venmic node isnt linking then thats your issueb
thanks
I FOUND THE ISSUE
its cuz I use a DAC at 384khz default sample rate on pipewire config and discord refuses 384khz audio rate samples
solved
When using the compose keys on linux, it shows a dot while composing and the letters you type but on vesktop it doesnt, is there anyway to get it working
heres how it supposed to look like (screenshots taken from zen, but this works with chromium too)
and on vesktop it just doesnt show anything until you're done typing
hey guys having a issue, i use registered games for something lets say a overlay for a game "cht" but on vesktop i dont have the registered games section first pic is standalone discord 2nd is vesktop
vesktop lowers usage so it would be relaly useful if i could get a fix ive ran the uninstaller and everythinmg
vesktop doesn't have an overlay or registered games
bro i need it tho?
is vesktop not just optimized discord
i ened the preformance difference
please
@formal trout is there a way to get it on vesktop
Wrong person
@oblique valley
All Vencord support requests/questions belong in #🏥-vencord-support-🏥. If you ask in any other channel, you will lose access to all channels except support. No pinging or dming for support
- If someone breaks rule 5, do not help them or you're part of the problem. Either direct them to the support channel or ignore them.
thats not for vencord vesktop
Vesktop is a different app, it does not have overlay or registered games
they cant just use discords?
if the website doesnt have it, vesktop doesnt have it
Would need to make it from scratch, which is easier said than done
man
just use the discord desktop app bruh
You gotta pick which one you want more
Asking about it more wont summon the game overlay to vesktop
One question when i want to install vencord it responds to me that i have broken discord install help me pls
(Auto-response invoked by @grim lake)
whats vesktop?
Custom discord app
For pc
like hows its diff from vencord
Lighter and improved linux compatibility
does it have vim keybindings option 🙂
if not love to have one
No
Vencord probably wont exist for android as better options exist
is there any fix for getting desktop vencord on macos 11? installer says can only run on macos 12 or later :(
which one if u can list 🙂
where do I change the setting to make vesktop autostart when I launch my pc
its not in windows settings
thanks
Good time of day. Does Vesktop support in-game Discord overlay?
can someone send me a link ti get vesktop?????
tyy
Yes if I use elogind it works with sound, with seatd there is no sound
dw i found the root cause
what was it?
i used pipewire with 384khz default sample rate
is it okay, to build vesktop from source and build you're own "vesktop" of it? so like edit it?
yeah, u can build from source and add something of yours then if you want you can make fork
for what is the fork? so is it in need for some api or what?
fork is a feature on github where you can copy main from other project to your repo and edit
ah okay, thank you!
np
how to fix this
I'm pretty sure that's a native windows feature
and how could I change it?
not the same thing
great, thanks!
It does the same thing
and I was wondering if the animation at the start could also be disabled?
the properties 
there's like a fox or something
It works for me
cant seem to find it sorry
you gotta go here
red arrow = right click
blue arrow = left click
the only supported icon files are .ico because windows is stupid so you can use an online converter to convert a regular image to a .ico file
oh ok
thanks
ill see where I can download the discord icon...
there you go
I asume I need a restart?
hey! it seems that the native Discord Titlebar setting on vesktop doesn't work on linux anymore after the UI update, any updates or workaround?
this show member list is not working
(Auto-response invoked by @grim lake)
Read pins there
ive been looking but does anyone have a css that removes this mine isnt working anymore
which one? three of them?
yeah all 3
so just leave the screen share?
yeah
ig this .this is the current random class one (might not work after discord update), you can update it (if it breaks after update) on https://syndishanx.github.io/Website/Update_Classes.html
.actionButtons_e131a9 > *:not(:nth-child(3)) {
display: none;
}
is working thanks 
So Discord isn't working at all, in the sense that it's VERY laggy. I tried swapping to Vesktop which did help a lot but it's still very unusuable, Vesktop is the only app open and custom CSS and themes are off.
Debug info btw
Did you check both local and online themes? Or just local or online themes
I don't have any themes, local or online.
Did you enable hardware acceleration?
yes
is vencord broken i tried installign and re installing but its not applying to my discord
vesktop kind of lags a lot for me
it doesn't seem like there's any difference between hardware acceleration being on and it being off
could it have to do with my theme?
Wrong channel
Or plugins enabled, yes
also there's another bug
it's weird though
ONLY in this channel, the message bar goes way off the screen
looks fine everywhere else
Read pins of #🏥-vencord-support-🏥
fair enough but like. it's only in this channel
which i found strange
actually i think just this server in general
Well the old ui will slowly break, it’s bound to happen
can't tell what side this issue exists on; but I keep having an issue where every time I restart my computer and open vesktop; my discord account gets logged out. 5 days ago when I first installed the app it didnt happen the first couple days; but then a couple days ago It started signing me out making me have to log back in.
Is this something I can fix or do I just have to deal with it
Please can anyone help me about this? also one thing- I'm using this as an imported online theme from github (not as a css code)
Vp nodevtools
Disables the 'HOLD UP' banner in the console. As a side effect, also prevents Discord from hiding your token, which prevents random logouts.
Vee
Enable this
thanks
Hey i had a quick question, not sure if you guys could answer it.
For some reason the Registered Activities tab disappeared and also I can't join linked games and whatnot because it tells me to download the Discord app. I know those are two seperate issues but I thought maybe they were being caused by the same thing
Not sure if that's being worked on or something...
responses appreciated!!! 
It doesn’t exist on vesktop
Anyone? please
That's weird. I used to have it on there
It never did
(while using vesktop of course)
Well, if that's the case, do you think it might ever be implemented? It's pretty useful
Very likely not
vp theme
Completely removes Nitro profile themes from everyone but yourself
TheKodeToad
vp themeatt
you probably need to enable that^
my discord client keeps crashing, is it related to vencord?
Are you on vesktop?
yes
Have you tried repairing
repairing what?
Right click vesktop in the tray and press repair
Which one should I select
Stable
shows this right as i click 'Discover' to find servers
stable 383453 (95ee191) Build Override: N/A
Vencord b3bff83 (Vesktop v1.5.5)
Electron 34.1.0
Chromium 132.0.6834.194
ignore the wave thingy
thats just my background
this part of the screen is cut off in some channels
Read pins
oh
is there a way to go back to a previous version of discord?
No
I can't do an aliucord?
No because its a webpage
can it be done on vencord?
No
any idea why its only some channels?
No clue
I will not resign... if theres a will... theres a way
Unfortunately no, there is no way
Every way is either too much maintenance or impossible
There has to be a way to access an old version of discord
Its a webpage
Could a plugin be added to emulate things like voicemod but with other servers' soundboard? The reason I ask is because it is convenient to just click it through the menu and not manually copy the sounds and I don't want to have to pay a subscription to have unlimited sounds.
oh
wait is the discord app just a google chrome instance
Electron, but yes
electron basically is a google chrome instance
In simple terms yes
👍
are you good at tetris
Not related to vesktop
System related most likely. Are you on a DE?
Ah, thank you so much
hello, yes. im completely new on arch so here's what i know to provide
Hello, is there a plugin that I can copy people's banners and icons?
Well i figured it out.
It's the description.
div[class^="topic_"] {
white-space: normal !important;
}
this css makes the description box bigger
so now it looks like this
and doesnt push it forward
its basically a bandaid
good enough for me tho
vp viewicons
Makes avatars and banners in user profiles clickable, adds View Icon/Banner entries in the user, server and group channel context menu.
Vee, TheKodeToad, Nuckyz, verticalsync.
and next time #🏥-vencord-support-🏥
Hhm, I think it should work on GNOME. Maybe someone using GNOME can help out here?
did you enable this?
Okay, something I learned that will be VERY helpful for any of you using Hyprland
DO NOT ENABLE 10 BIT COLOR DEPTH IF YOU ARE USING NWG-DISPLAYS TO ARRANGE YOUR MONITORS
That shit was the one liiiiittle fucking setting that has been preventing me from using screenshare at all
Same for me.
I tried multiple things but new animations are very laggy without proper hardware acceleration
Im on Cachy OS (Arch) KDE Plasma
Anyone knows how to force it if I can or fix it?
Hey is that all the css needed? Because my discord still has a double bar for some reason, do you have any idea of why?
(Sorry that I responded in the wrong channel the first time)
Hello, my vesktop cant display the games that i play, how i fix that pls
there is my debug info

You mean rich presence?
If yes, do you have the aRPC plugin enabled?
yes and no
Then enable it
The plugin pretty much gives support for rich presence
not sure if this is very helpful, but I got it working by running arRPC for most games, with steam presence for the games not detected.
https://github.com/OpenAsar/arRPC
https://github.com/JustTemmie/steam-presence
linux noob but I got arrpc to autostart via arrpc/src/index.js and making it run on startup
no i didnt
doesnt vesktop come with arrpc?
ive had that enabled for a while (kinda assuming that it would also run the server itself too 😭)
it does
it does, I just never got it to work
or maybe I didn't really get it
I do know arRPC works for most stuff with some games like r.e.p.o detected by steam presence only
ill test it out hold on
rpc does indeed work natively with vesktop now. Games are still required to explicitly provide rpc data tho
vesktop does process scanning
the list is just outdated
explains why more processes are detected with external arrpc
it certainly seems a lot more restrictive on linux tho. My experience has been apps have to put forward the rpc data for the rpc server to see it (it essentially opens up a connection to listen for connection attempts by other apps, no?)
point is, if an app doesnt have rpc support then its likely not to show up at all
Do not enable the plugin. Just enable the rich presence setting in Vesktop settings
and if you're using flatpak, don't
both for Vesktop and the apps that you want to display (like steam, vscode, etc)
the discord desktop app has very basic detection that can't detect games running through wine/proton unless they fixed that
arrpc does though and can detect most games
I see
should i just switch to the aur version or smth
currently on Fedora 41, wondering if I can get the notification badge working.... I installed libunity as someone here previously suggested but it didn't seem to do anything?
Is screen share audio broken on MacOS
not supported. use the discord desktop app for that
That’s what I figured
same issue here for me - been using vesktop on arch for like 4 months or so now and the notif badge just never showed up once
it showed up when i used fedora but on arch it's gone
aaaand I realised this is vesktop not vencord support 🤦
@graceful iron @limpid phoenix libunity is very old & hasn't had a stable tag in FOREVER
Theres no longer an aur maintainer for it so its likely something broke
setup your portals properly
damn you weren't kidding
it's over a decade old
I'm not a fedora user so idk but make sure u got the right package that actually provides the needed dynamic library & make sure electron can actually find and load it
you will maintain libunity I think @fervent sky
Ive been working on a patch for electron that drops libunity in favour of direct dbus comms so nup
hurry
HURRY
there is little time left
how would I do that exactly?
make electron find it?
O.o
https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/libunity/libunity/ well install this
View libunity in the Fedora package repositories. libunity: Library for integrating with Unity and Plasma
should be a libunity library(.so) in /lib(64)
if electron isnt sandboxxed it should find it
can also run ldd on the electron(or vesktop) binary to see what its loading
did that its working now thanks
only problem is the window picker dialog doesnt go away
hyprland issue ¯_(ツ)_/¯
installed, doesn't seem to work still

is vesktop only for linux or smth?
Go to Experiments and disable Deeplinks
you can use it on windows
i need help with this
@white harbor follow what i said here for someone else with the same issue
it's enabeled but how can i fix that so ? ;/
Heyo
I installed Vesktop yesterday to return to the old UI, and while using Vesktop my microphone is always muted on launch and I have to manually click on the mic button to unmute, is this a normal behaviour for one reason or another, is there a setting doing this or something? It doesn't happen on reg Discord
uhhhh i got an issue with Vesktop
my vesktop installation (after putting a theme and enabling window transparency) decided to break
like, it can't launch.
i'm on a macOS installation rn
and when launching i get this
oop nvm i deleted thee vesktop folder in Application Support and it works now
(and sorry for making a lot of mistakes, this is what happens with a butterfly keyboard)
Oh its not vesktop related but thank you for your work on the P3F Widescreen Font fixes, really appreciate it!
normal behavior of web discord (which vesktop is)
👍 gotcha
I got Vesktop as usual but my theme randomly stoped working, i undid the UI changes and everything else i could find and it didnt fix it. Any ideas?
use a different theme that works
a lot of the times when i click the server discovery on vesktop it just stays stuck at the "opening discord app" thing
is there a way to just override that screen entirely
search deeplinks in this chat
Hi, this happens randomly after I open the app following a system restart
is there a css or a plugin that makes the channel list and server list fold?
hi guys how does one fix things going out of screen
No, I haven't enabled any plugin or css thingy
Pins of #🏥-vencord-support-🏥
i fixed it hooray
might break at any moment due to discord doing changes to the UI, but should fix it by now
#🎨-css-snippets message
thanks for this 👍
I have no words for this- (a side note: in any dms I have, If I click on the persons profile that would appear on the right of the discord dms, it clips into the screen and doesn't show all the way)
Are you on the old ui
yes
Hi whenever I change internet or disable it for a second vesktop breaks and I have to kill its process
Read pins of #🏥-vencord-support-🏥
when i screenshare my screenshare is like 5 fps. is there any reason to that happening?
where's the themes folder? downloaded css and idk where to put it
You open the themes tab and press open folder
uuuh
?
where do i put the css
none of the buttons do anything except theme editor
Are you on vesktop???
vencord plugin
Vesktop is a seperate discord app
You are in the vesktop channel
i thought this was the discord for vencord, it was linked on the vencord website
oh
(Auto-response invoked by @grim lake)
lol based bot command/response
anyways any news on when this issue will be fixed on vesktop linux
no idea if it's been fixed already and is just waiting on an update to be pushed or what
but i heard this was a vesktop issue specifically
Turn off the native bar I think
you mean reenable the os window border?
i already had that enabled but i wanted to disable it on account of this bar existing now and taking up even more space on my screen
There’s no other fix that I know of
damn
might take a look at it myself and see if i could do it then 
i haven't actually checked if this is an overall linux discord issue or not but i know at least on win11 the window decorations get merged with this bar
and i can't imagine it'd be that hard to add
this fixes it
#🎨-css-snippets message
but as people already said, it might break at any moment if discord decides to move something
so it's a temporary fix
hey, so since i started using vesktop, sometimes my theme will randomly "restart/reload" itself, is there anything known about this?
I just realized that one is vencord and the other one is vesktop lmao, I dont know if it works for vesktop, my bad, I cant asure anything but I guess you can still do a try
Don’t use local themes
damn i got recognized in the wild 😅
Yeah I was redoing my mods yesterday for P3F after you pushed the update like 2 weeks ago and your profile picture seemed familiar xD
first time using vesktop because my vencord installer broke, is it supposed to take this long to load?
Why Discord forgot to add window decorations in their new title bar on Linux is beyond me but it seems like their goal was to merge their own buttons with the OS's native title bar.
Which, on Linux, will never be a thing - apps dont get to control your title bar/window decs. That's handled by your DE.
So, unless discord fixes it, your only real option is to reenable your DE's native window decoration/title bar
As for the extra ugly discord title bar, youll have to use css to edit it to your liking
It happens on windows too
Oh, i thought on win they managed to stick the help and inbox in the title bar
Let me introduce you to GNOME, they think you are wrong
its still loading, is this normal?
No, the window decorations merged with the app, not the other way around
just custom buttons rendered in the html that trigger the same os functions
ok yea, and they just didnt do that for linux for some silly reason
thats how it used to work and how it still works but evidently something broke with this titlebar
oh huh this IS a general linux issue
i just remembered i had a vanilla canary install
just checked and yep not there either
this is the channel for the desktop app only right??
idk if its different on gnome but also discord isnt a gtk app afaik so maybe its the same lol
i mean its electron
i just need to figure out how and where i'd go about adding those buttons to the ui 
so uh I can't really find this issue in known issues or on the github repo but whenever I try to click the direct messages button in the top left my vesktop just hangs forever with the message "Opening Discord App" displayed in the center of the screen with a loading animation, I am on NixOS with Hyprland and I have vesktop installed via the nix package
css is cascading style sheet its how websites and web apps are styled
cuz like i barely use typescript as is, usually sticking to js, and i also have never used electron before
so this is gonna be a learning experience for sure
Stuff for appereance only or gives some functionality??
appearance mostly, but it can also animate which can appear like functionality but it cant add new features no
i guess i can start by checking how vesktop injects its own settings into the settings menu 
i just hide the discord title bar and moved the inbox to the side bar, and rely on my DE's window decs like usual
What stuff can i do with it?
GNOME only uses client side decorations
like can i change icons ?
yea
best way to think of it is HTML is the layout of a page, CSS is the all the pretty decorations and animations and colors n stuff, and JS is the functionality of a page
or u can trial and error to learn it?
to make your own css yes you need to know css but theres lots of premade stuff out there
also you don't need traditional programming experience for css in particular
it's kind of its own thing with its own rules
you can look on w3schools or mozilla's docs for how to use it
Ok thanks very much everyone for the help
do u write code for it or u just say icon_defean == custom_icon(myiconfile) is it simple or u need actul some skills
or u just replace files?
example css:
.className {
some-property: "some-value";
}
applies styling to that class
oh ok code
you need to target the class that controls that element, and rewrite that class in your own style sheet, then define the new value
if you press shift+ctrl+i in discord, you can inspect its css to find those class names
well, discord is electron which basically means its a local app running html/css so it has the same tools
oh so any pp tht is running html has inspect feature?
ty, are there any other prefixes other than @light and @dark? (mainly asking bc i got a theme for old layout and one for the new layout)
no
hey cooki would you happen to know where vencord/vesktop does stuff like injecting settings/buttons/etc into the discord client
trying to figure out how vesktop specifically is able to do this in the settings menu so i can try to figure out how to do something similar for another part of the client ui
v+ prog
alr
go #🧩-plugin-development and check pins
oh sick ty
any ideas
for future reference: no support is given for the nix package. use the flatpak
search for "deeplinks" in this channel
fixed it thanks
that sorta just removes the whole point of nixos but ill think about it thanks
what to do if i turn on discord and it opens 2 times, and it tries fining a second account?
I can't get screen sharing to work
It just results in an infinite loading screen
hello?
What distro do you use, do you use a wm or a de?
"It doesn't work" is not something that can be debugged
"doesn't work" and similar are not very helpful. To help you, we need more info!
Describe your issue with as much detail as possible.
What exactly did you try to do?
What did you expect to happen?
What happened instead?
Does this issue always happen, or only sometimes?
If possible, provide steps how to reproduce the issue
If appropriate, provide screenshots or screen recordings
For Vencord issues:
- If you are able to, run the
/vencord-debugslash command - If not, provide the following info:
- How are you using Vencord? (Discord Desktop, Browser (name your browser!!), Vencord Desktop, ArmCord, ...)
- What OS are you using?
- Open the DevTools with
Ctrl + Shift + i(Cmd + Option + ion MacOs) and check the console tab for red error messages
For Installer issues:
- What OS are you using?
(Auto-response invoked by @oblique valley)
Arch, Hyperland and Like I said it results in an infinte loading screen when people try to watch
Okay, do you have xdg-desktop-portal and xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland (or whatever their thing is called) installed and running?
lemme check\
just updated them to be safe
how do I check if they're running again
okay checked in btop
They are running
You use PipeWire and PipeWire-pulse correct?
correct
strange when I shared my terminal with no sound it worked but when I share a game without sound it doesn't
nothing else works though
Not games not my browser
just the terminal
Hello?
All Vencord support requests/questions belong in #🏥-vencord-support-🏥. If you ask in any other channel, you will lose access to all channels except support. No pinging or dming for support

sorry
Hhm, it is kind of flakey from what I understand from your explanation. I would just say ask the hyprland people, I can confirm that is works on wlroots, river to be exact with xdg-desktop-portal and xdg-desktop-portal-wlr
I mean you can do a echo $DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS but it should return something as it works sometimes for you apparently
it just spat this out unix:path=/run/user/1000/bus
Yeah that's fine
It's only vesktop as well
normal discord works fine but it does my whole systems sound and not just one app
Wait do you run the flatpak?
Try that
although if the flatpak doesn't open again after having it open one time you need to do a flatpak override --user --nosocket=wayland dev.vencord.Vesktop assuming you installed it as flatpak install --user dev.vencord.Vesktop which you should always do with flatpaks btw
quick question where are themes held in the flatpak version? Unfortunately the button to open the folder isn't working
Oh yeah welcome to fun with flatpaks. the hyprland portal is almost the same as the wlroots one aka it doesn't provide a filepicker. To have one you need to have xdg-utils installed, as well as a xdg-desktop-portal implementation, that has a filepicker, for example xdg-desktop-portal-gtk I think was the name. Just install it, reboot your system and it should work
Thank you so much for your help
alright so libunity was never even installed on my distro but now that it's installed, i can see the notif badge perfectly fine!
:3
I am glad that it worked for you and mad that the same thing didn't work for me lol
Isnt vesktop like web discord
vesktop is a wrapper for web discord that has vencord pre-installed
that description doesn't really describe it well
the Discord Desktop App is also a wrapper for web discord
Vesktop is a lighter version of the Discord Desktop app in a way
way less of the desktop features and instead only has the necessities (imo)
obviously what's a necessity and what isn't depends on what you're looking for, so it's not for everyone
hey so i did the revert to old UI thing, but now my members tab and search option are inaccessible because i use a vertical monitor
if i have show members on, i also lose access to gifs, stickers, emojis and commands buttons
its like the tab is there i just cant view it
members list off:
members list on:
im blasting my shit
even when i put my discord onto a normal horizontal monitor, it cuts off the screen
#🏥-vencord-support-🏥 pins. tldr; the old UI will inevitably break and soon be gone so start getting used to the new UI or deal with the bugs
:p
so upside: i get the old UI
downside: it breaks dozens of features?
is there a way i can just change the width of the channels tab
the new UI is fine the channels tab is just taking up too much room
its.. resizable
thats like one of the key features
you can just drag the edge and resize it
oh wtf alr, so vencord is absolutely useless to me
Hi all. I uh reverted my vesktop layout using experiments and now this is happening with my search results. Running KDE on Arch
Read #🏥-vencord-support-🏥 pins
My apologies. Thanks for the help.
my vesktop crashed and when I opened it again I needed to login and my settings were all gone, don't need any help I was just wondering if this is a common problem or just my pc being silly
pressed Shop, got "we've beamed this info to your Discord app, you can close the browser tab now" with no way to exit other than quitting and restarting the app
@dapper stag Tessie rule to auto reply to this I'm begging
lmao
disable the Deep Links experiment
gotcha
discord slop code breaking web clients since 2016
she no wanna
Discord App Launched
- Go to Vencord Plugins and enable the Experiments plugin
- Restart
- Open Settings, enter Experiments in the Search Bar
- Open the Experiments tab

Hey do i use vencord on iphone?
I can't stream my main monitor on Vesktop. I have 2 displays, one hdmi which works and another dp which doesnt, whenever i try to stream the DP monitor these errors come up and I can't open the pipewire gui until i restart vesktop:
[3:0331/120346.013778:ERROR:shared_x_display.cc(39)] Unable to open display

I'm running hyprland on endeavouros, i've already tried a bunch of stuff by googling but nothing has worked so far
how to turn off old ui i forgot
is vesktop auto-updated like vencord?
Yes
yeee
anyways is there a way to make the left bar extends to the edge of the bottom left?
the way it just disappeared and left a gap is really itch my brain
the new UI overall is fine
but the Discord designers left some of the basic UI design mistakes like this is really... amateur
waiting for that to load 20 minutes already, win11
It shouldn’t take that long
i just installed it tho
Could be a system issue
have you tried turning it off and on again? that helps everything
How did you revert to old ui
how to get Vencord on Iphone?
👉 #faq
(Auto-response invoked by @grim lake)
i did that and i joined the DC server but i still can’t find out how to get Vencord on Iphone
you are in the vesktop channel which is the wrong channel
you cant get vencord on iphone
there are other mobile client mods but you need to figure it out yourself as they are other client mods
but like why can’t i get it on iphone or is it just for android and PC?
its just pc, it exists for android but it is not maintained and was just a proof of concept
it also has many issues (as its just a webpage)
alright
how to make this bar looks like the discord app
I turned this on in settings to get more screen real estate but now there's no window close icon at the top right. Is there anyway to get that back?
no
its a bug
rip, thanks
its one or the other currently
but it might be fixed which is good
is there anyway i can move better folder to the right side ?
wait for a hotfix
holy hell it got even worse
i cant take this shit any longer
just need to wait for a hotfix
basically on every reboot i ned to re-login for some reason. linux/arch if it makes a difference
vp nodevtools
Disables the 'HOLD UP' banner in the console. As a side effect, also prevents Discord from hiding your token, which prevents random logouts.

Error when opening vesktop on Windows 7
We don't support windows 7
Y'all never said it on GitHub
i get this too, just hit cancel
i think the installer should block windows 7 in this case but vee said no
It's an EOL OS it's a basic assumption
My laptop runs terrible on any newer OS

I'm terrible at tech
don't need to be 'good'
I also don't have any bootable media

what about giving users a choice if they like it enable toggle if they dont toggle off
I tried experiment desktop_deeplinks -1 and didn't work.
explain why you want to disable this behaviour
the discord desktop app does the exact same thing
but you can turn it off there.
with vencord at least.
