Just to organise it a little

vestal copper
#

Happens in:

  1. Changing presences
  2. Favoriting gifs
  3. Inbox changing tabs
  4. Game activity toggle
  5. Collapsing emoji/sticker categories (favorites, server, recents, etc.)
  6. Favoriting emojis/stickers
    and more to be discovered
  7. 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");

Does enabling reduced motion fix it?

frigid osprey
vestal copper
#

no

amber sentinel
#

Sad

vestal copper
#

new trigger

#

favoriting emojis or stickers

amber sentinel
#

Was under the assumption it was something to do with animations and turning that on would help

frigid osprey
vestal copper

amber sentinel

frigid osprey
vestal copper
#

vestal copper

quick css stays working

#

if i were tooo

frigid osprey
amber sentinel
#

There is, they will see eventually

frigid osprey
#

okay

#

waiting for vencord dev

vestal copper
#

i found a work around

#

:3

unkempt crystal
#

?

frigid osprey
#

?

vestal copper
#

since quick css stays working

#

just import your theme through quick css

unkempt crystal
#

share thy wisdom

frigid osprey
vestal copper
#
@import url("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Tryflle/tryfletheme/main/tryfletheme.css");
#

replace raw url with theme url

vestal copper
#

upload it somewhere

#

mine was too

frigid osprey
#

is working

#

let me try

#

OMGGGG

#

ITS WORKINGGGG

#

THX SO MUCH

vestal copper
#

:D

frigid osprey
#

then @amber sentinel the solution is : copy past ur theme in quick css

vestal copper
#

i am a professional developer real

frigid osprey
#

fr

#

lol

vestal copper
unkempt crystal
#

i will wait for the fix

frigid osprey
#

goat

frigid osprey
unkempt crystal
#

no i change em often

#

depending on the lightning

frigid osprey
#

just copy past to change lol

frigid osprey
unkempt crystal
#

aesthetic or something

vestal copper
#

still tries this every time though

#

but it does work

#

no lag, no refreshed elements

frigid osprey
#

yes

vestal copper
#

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

drowsy grove
#

gonna join this since this is also happening to me

dense valley
frigid osprey
#

@drowsy grove @dense valley to fix it, copy past ur theme in quick css

#

(and disable it)

drowsy grove
#

o, aight I'll try that

frigid osprey
dense valley
frigid osprey
#

and

#

it's not Windows

#

it is vesktop

dense valley
frigid osprey
#

#

#

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.

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

vestal copper
#

makes sense

#

they probably are in there

shell tartan
#

attempting to move a server also forces discord to flicker

frigid osprey
vestal copper
#

i got it to trigger once

terse aspen
#

and after removing the theme i can slightly confirm it was the theme

dense stag
#

i have Wildberry.theme so i been geting a green flicker with lines

shell tartan
#

that is so weird

dense stag
#

mine happend when i dc dms open while gaming

#

i turn off them see if it helps

#

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.

charred torrent
#

I have this issue too

#

I don't have any themes installed though

spark cloak
#

Also happens for me with Neutron theme

vestal copper
#

still occurs unfortunately

clear portal
#

Yea I had it happen still but it was so incredibly sporadic now that I couldn't even reliably reproduce it
