Nicer VenBot reminder in support

[hexed talon]

Feel free to give me feedback or ideas

[pearl coral]

admitedly a good idea to implement to vencord

[wicked perch]

bet users will ignore it anyway

but yeah, it would be nice

[pearl coral]

they ignore everything

[glad egret]

ngl idk why they havent just turned the message into a popup (like the outdated vencord popup)

if you dont have vencord/vesktop then you shouldnt even be looking into those channels so not having it shouldnt be an issue

[wicked perch]

maybe because if the popup breaks then it won't show up at all

[glad egret]

true

but literally everyone ignores the stickied message

[wicked perch]

It would have to be as big as half their screen

(they would still ignore it)

Add flashing colors!
No, that might kill someone with epilepsy

[digital thistle]

small price to pay

[unique flame]

Unfortunately it doesn't work at all for me, no idea why

[hexed talon]

likely because you have your own CSS that breaks it

or because you need to wait half asec

[wicked perch]

check for unclosed snippets above it/conflicting themes/snippets

[hexed talon]

also you need themeattributes iirc

[wicked perch]

right, might wanna specify that in the original post

[unique flame]

indeed that was the problem ^^

[hexed talon]

i could maybe make it work without themeattributes

tho imo there is no reason to not use the plugin

[wicked perch]

yeah I agree

[hexed talon]

it makes stuff way easier

[wicked perch]

still vouching for it to be enabled by default

[hexed talon]

i even have planned to send PRs to extend it

[wicked perch]

adding something to the body/frame that tells if you're on streamer mode would be nice

[digital thistle]

so that was my issue too lol

[hexed talon]

tho my todo list is VERY long rn

and i'm kinda writing my bachelor's thesis, so even if i give myself some time, i don't have a lot of it

[wicked perch]

oh, good luck with that!

[hexed talon]

Btw i didn't get the idea
I knew someone made smth like that and wanted to remake it myself
There's one thing i'm "sad" about which is that idk how i could make the message sticky at the bottom
I'd actually need to do it with react rather than with just CSS
Because discord actually doesn't know how to F use CSS and instead imagine things
Like they have cursed stuff to have a scroller when it's just smth that exist and work

[karmic meadow]

not sure if id call this nicer? its more apparent but i dont think it looks nicer

like its more obvious and eye catching

[hexed talon]

to me it's nicer in the sense i don't have the chat jumping all around anymore

[karmic meadow]

in that case id just take the parts of the ccs that hide the messages and forgo the big red box

[hexed talon]

well obv no

we don't want that

because imagine then if people come here see hey i can remove that annoying thing and then become even more F annoying

from someone that do user support, F no that is the worst thing

[karmic meadow]

OK but have have u considered that the kind of person to take this kind of css is not the kind of person who needs to see the message?

[hexed talon]

if you want, you can use my snippet and modify it to remove the message, but don't share it, keep it for you and don't be a support joker

[hexed talon]

this is actually not true
lots of people figure out how to copy paste CSS and have issues they then complain about because they didn't understand

[karmic meadow]

Anyway it's not like I don't disagree but still, I feel like the target audience for this doesn't need the message in the first place

As for serious advice, perhaps adjust the colours to be a little less harsh, perhaps use something closers to pastels

[hot mirage]

Made it look a bit more like the warning in the Experiments tab

[lean birch]

share with the class..?

[hexed talon]

i mean go yoink the CSS of the experiment warning and copy what's needed over

personally, i can't even since in my own custom build of Vencord, the experiment warning is entirely removed as i don't need it, i know what i'm doing
and can't be bothered to open GH to look for the change

[zinc arch]

could you make an alt that looks like the reply popup that shows up on top of the message bar? with a slightly red tint. think that would be aweosme

also is this customisable? would it be possible to add some sort of table where you could input specific strings matched to specific user ids to make those show the respective message in the same pop-up style

[hexed talon]

what do you mean, could you show an example

[hexed talon]

tbh it's out of scope for my snippet, but all you need to change is the data-author-id to apply it on someone else
also it's impossible to match on string, afaik, hence why you match on user id and specific conditions such as if it's not a reply and it's the last one

[hot mirage]

I'm late, but here you go

[class^=scrollerInner][aria-label*=support] > [data-author-id="1017176847865352332"] {
    &:not(:last-of-type) > :not([class*=hasReply]) { display: none; }
    &:last-of-type > :not([class*=hasReply]) {
        bottom: -12px;
        left: 16px;
        margin-top: 6px;
        border: 1px solid #e78284;
        border-bottom: unset;
        border-radius: 5px;
        padding-top: 4px;
        padding-right: 2em;
        width: calc(100% - 116px);
        background-color: #e7828430;
        color: var(--text-normal, white);
        &:hover { background-color: rgba(211, 134, 154, 0.4); }
        > [class^=contents] {
            position: relative;
            left: -16px;
            > [class^=avatar],
            & > [class^=header],
            & > [class^=markup] > small:last-of-type {
                display: none;
            }
        }
    }
}```

[uncut urchin]

wonder why this doesn't work for me

[hexed talon]

are you on PTB or canary ? do you have some theme ? did you enable custom CSS ? did you enable some discord experiments ?

[uncut urchin]

I'm on regular discord with vencord installed, a theme that changes the background, and have themeattributes enabled

[hexed talon]

the problem is likely the theme that changes the background ?

did you try to disable it ?

[uncut urchin]

I did, didn't make a difference

[hexed talon]

could you screenshot how it looks ?

[uncut urchin]

I figured out what the issue was, I left a comment on a line which broke everything somehow

[somber peak]

@hexed talon small bug, when venbot has two messages one after the other, the sticky message has the side timestamp visible on hover, see the time element

[hexed talon]

i've seen this bug, but it doesn't last so never bothered to fix it, will do at some point
all i need to do is catch it and F8 fast enough

[hazy turret]

not working

[hexed talon]

yes working but sligthly broken and haven't bothered to fix yet cause the new bar shit is fucking pain
unless you're on canary and then well, maybe i'll fix it when it come to stable

[velvet prawn]

discord just broke this snippet

[hexed talon]

no

they broke it long ago

and it's annoying to fix, so i've put it aside for now

[velvet prawn]

well now it's not working at all

[hexed talon]

either you're combining it with another theme which conflict or you're using canary

[velvet prawn]

i'm not using canary. also i disabled every other theme but it's still not working. it was still working recently. the recent discord update that broke like a whole bunch of other themes must've broken this one too

[hexed talon]

"updated", it still has the broken look of being detached from the message bar, but it works
