Remove glow and gradient from usernames

[sacred phoenix]

how do u get even more glow and gradient

[frozen flicker]

dunno

point of this is removing it not modifying

[jagged gorge]

It’s a boosting perk

Not every server has it yet though

[idle spoke]

personally i don't mind the gradient but the glow was too much, this just removes glow i think:

.convenienceGlowGradient_e5de78:after {
  filter: blur(0px);
}
.nameGlow__703b9 {
  display: none;
}

[frozen flicker]

There’s also distinct nameGlow__703b9 for members list

[idle spoke]

oh eesh why are there two overlapping texts with duplicate contents

that's awful

[jagged gorge]

If they wanted to include the glow it makes sense to have a duplicate instead of blurring the entire username cause then you just can’t read it

[idle spoke]

you can achieve that without duplicating the element

they did it for in-chat usernames

hence why it's blur 0 vs display none

[jagged gorge]

Wait so there’s two different ways they achieve the same thing

[idle spoke]

yes lmao

[jagged gorge]

Why would they even do that lmao

[grizzled storm]

they aren't known for efficiency

[jagged gorge]

True

ty
gradients are a cool idea for a perk but holy shit is it unreadable

[sacred phoenix]

ohh thats why thanks

[tawdry lagoon]

Yeah I can't believe you can't turn it off by default for accessibility reasons; I personally like the gradient but the glow is too much

[idle spoke]

agree

[queen cedar]

is there a way for it to still show up when u look at the roles in popouts?

but not in the message/members area

[idle spoke]

where exactly?

i didn't see anywhere it glows/animates other than the member/message areas

[idle spoke]

can you show without the css too?

i thought that’s just what it looked like

might be a theme thing

[idle spoke]

yeahh that’s a theme thing

[queen cedar]

without css

with css

[idle spoke]

hm

[queen cedar]

disabled all other themes

[idle spoke]

well if you’re ok with gradient, mine doesn’t mess with that

[queen cedar]

but if it's too complicated it's ok ^^

[idle spoke]

it’s possible

[queen cedar]

I have colour border around usernames and the gradient makes it a shitshow

so that's why this css was a saving for me

the gradient makes it impossible to read names lmao

with the bg behind usernames

[idle spoke]

weird lol

probably just needs some sort of update

[queen cedar]

[idle spoke]

like the theme could probably be updated to support gradients

[queen cedar]

it's my own theme full of small snippets

buuutt I'll live with this for now

[idle spoke]

/* remove gradient glow in chat and user list */
.threeColorGradient_e5de78,
.twoColorGradient_e5de78 {
  &.usernameGradient_e5de78 {
    color: color-mix(in lab, var(--custom-gradient-color-1), var(--custom-gradient-color-2));
    background: none;
    -webkit-text-fill-color: initial;
  }

  &::after,
  &.nameGlow__703b9 {
      display: none;
  }
}
``` this should work @queen cedar

@frozen flicker it breaks the little circle, but chat username + member list username both have usernameGradient_e5de78 so i matched on that too

[queen cedar]

ah thank you, I will try it out tomorrow, I already turned off my pc 😅

Thank you very much :)

[idle spoke]

np

[frozen flicker]

update the code to what you sent?

[idle spoke]

sure, the only change is matching on usernameGradient to fix the circles

[frozen flicker]

kk

[idle spoke]

im not a css pro so idk if i used the proper way but it seemed to work

[frozen flicker]

i trust you

but having compatibility with plugins is a nightmare sometimes

[plucky latch]

wtf glowing username is a thing?

[ebon rampart]

How would I edit this to only remove the glow, but keep the scrolling color effect?

[idle spoke]

@ebon rampart try this

[ebon rampart]

Epiic

Thank you - that looks so much better

[idle spoke]

[subtle furnace]

What was discord smoking while adding the glow

Also the scrolling is unnecessary

But I think there’s another snippet for that

[ebon rampart]

For some reason this no longer functions 🙃

[tawdry lagoon]

Seems like the hover was updated to the class convenienceGlowGradient_e5de78 so adding the word Glow should fix it (it did for me)

[idle spoke]

i'll change that in the snippet

Came here because the gradient role colors has become a huge accessibility issue with so many servers using it.

Thank you, this makes the app actually barrable until discord (hopefully) adds a native option to do this

(thanks Vencord itself too, erm, from what i can tell vencord isn't really designed to improve w/ accessibility, but custom css helps with that lol)
