#Theme flickering issue
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
Happens in:
- Changing presences
- Favoriting gifs
- Inbox changing tabs
- Game activity toggle
- Collapsing emoji/sticker categories (favorites, server, recents, etc.)
- Favoriting emojis/stickers
and more to be discovered - Attempting to move servers (not easy to replicate.)
This issue is present on Vesktop AND Vencord and confirmed to be happening on stable, ptb and canary.
Temporary work around:
Import your theme with quick css.
@import url("url");
@viral ruin for me it's "not eligible"
i dont set it
@amber sentinel can u pin this ?
and darkmatter work fine for me
like those tiny icons
whats the normal one for this because theres like 5 different options
not eligible
the point is trying the new layout not blocking it
then 4
it works with clearvision v7
turning on "not elligible" and still doesnt work with my old theme
i dread the amount of css im gonna have to do to fix this when this rolls out regularly
agrred
my theme is so messed up
this new ui sucks
and with clearvision ?
it's fine
so
vs
ur theme is maybe bad
umhm
this is better
me too
it doesnt feel like discord, it feels like microsoft

but yeah issue persists
😦
im gonna absolutely DREAD if they get rid of the old layout
They will
the sheer amount of css
my css is already terribly organized
im gonna have to like rewrite it
i better get some screenshots 😭
like more user tag plugin lol
discovered another trigger
game activity toggle
found another
collapsing emoji category
what is this
like
this
Are you guys using reduced motion?
i dont know what this is so i'm going to go ahead and say no
hahbabhhab
Its an accessibility thing
yeah no i didnt know they added this
@viral ruin what about you
and it change nothing
Does enabling reduced motion fix it?
no
no
Sad
Was under the assumption it was something to do with animations and turning that on would help
😦
yes !
what is the cursor?
the cat ?
oneko
damn its a cat?
ye it's a plugin
i will check it out
damn so many triggers, did discord change something?
it has to be something in common that they all call
but i dont know what because i dont know how to look at that
im no javascript user
@amber sentinel
when the bug appear
same errors
it just reloads my themes
tokyo isnt even enabled
(I’m unfortunately unable to read errors, I’m not a technical person)
it just tries to load all my themes again
where in the fuck is it getting tokyo night from
lol
idk but i have the same problem for my clear vison theme
k
hm
there is not any dev of vencord who can understand these errors ?
There is, they will see eventually
?
?
share thy wisdom
let me try
@import url("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Tryflle/tryfletheme/main/tryfletheme.css");
replace raw url with theme url
my theme is local
wait copy past
is working
let me try
OMGGGG
ITS WORKINGGGG
THX SO MUCH
:D
i am a professional developer real
i will wait for the fix
goat
all these themes at the same time ??
just copy past to change lol
ohh okk*
aesthetic or something
still tries this every time though
but it does work
no lag, no refreshed elements
yes
its funny though because my fonts theme is just a css file that has that @import in it
and all it takes is putting it in quick css and MAGICALLY it works
gonna join this since this is also happening to me
g'day, i will say this is also happening for me, without visual-refresh. it just appears to be refetching the theme? no errors in console.
@drowsy grove @dense valley to fix it, copy past ur theme in quick css
(and disable it)
yes, I know
o, aight I'll try that
we don't want this tab, but the console tab
the console isnt vert helpful
you are on discord canary
and
it's not Windows
it is vesktop
Ok? This still happens on stable
but good to know that this issue is also on vesktop
the fix is for vencord if it's not work on vesktop I can't help you
I don't get what you're trying to say here.
is the fix working for you ?
yes.
okay, so we don't need a video of your console 🙂
good to know
yep, it's odd
i dont use reduced motion tho
and i dont have that problem, but im here cause my other themes not working
Not sure if this has been reported or not, but I have checked for this issue on betterdiscord using the ptb discord build, and was not able to get it to happen when switching status, opening emoji picker, or the inbox. Also confirmed that the issue does still happen with vencord and the ptb build.
I know a "fix" has been reported but I wanted to share some potentionally helpful info.
ofc
hope it gets properly fixed soon
I was asking if you did, but it doesn’t seem to do anything
get a json of your current vencord settings
if the settings' themes key (or smth like that) has file names inside it, it means it will always search for those for no reason whatsoever
you delete those strings and reimport that settings file
ohh
makes sense
they probably are in there
attempting to move a server also forces discord to flicker
@vestal copper
there is a fix
i cant replicate this
i got it to trigger once
not exactly the same issue.
i think mine is quite literally the theme
and after removing the theme i can slightly confirm it was the theme
i have Wildberry.theme so i been geting a green flicker with lines
that is so weird
this is the theme i'm using for refrence: https://github.com/MonolithOrchids/MinimalNightTheme
I have this happen in WizardUI as well, this looks to not be isolated. Mine occurs when someone goes offline or the state of any server changes (notifs, anything that requires a visual update)
Moving the skin to QuickCSS does mitigate this however.
I have two instances of discord up, one PTB and one non, and the PTB one is not on QuickCSS, with a recurring flicker, tabbing in and out, clicking away, changing status on the other, someone coming online. Something to note that this does not seem to happen with Hardware Acceleration on? Figuring out more of why this is going on.
Discord PTB: No QuickCSS, Hardware Acceleration On
Discord Stable: QuickCSS, Hardware Acceleration Off
Both no flicker.
Also happens for me with Neutron theme
I have hardware acceleration on
still occurs unfortunately
Yea I had it happen still but it was so incredibly sporadic now that I couldn't even reliably reproduce it
I’m new to vencord how do I mess w the quick css 😅sorry if that’s ridiculous to ask-
@fading terrace
Ok I’m really stupid I’m struggling to understand everything T^T but I’ll try
Think I fixed the flickering, Ty
Share how?
If you have a solution, please share it.
Put theme into quickcss
It’s the same as what jinx referred me to
🙂
Is there any update on this?
still having the issue in my experience..
getting the issue as well, it's random as to when it happens
