wont the IDs in the classnames change on some updates?

[dull stag]

yeah but honestly that's easier to update than dynamic selectors

dynamic selectors are both bad for performance and a huge pain in the ass

they're also needlessly complex due to the limitations on them, a lot of the time you want to be specific by including the separator in the dynamic selector so you won't target something like ActualClassNameButWrapper when looking for ActualClassName

but that also comes with the downside of discord being able to ruin it by changing the format to have the id in front of the class name like how they did like 3 weeks ago

everyone who updated their snippets for the update had to roll their changes back

you would also often want to replace *= with ^= if the class name you're targeting is at the start to improve performance a little

issue with that is if discord adds another class in front of it or changes their format again (like how they did like 3 weeks ago) that falls apart as well

if you wanna do a similar thing with the new system you'd have to target the last selector with $=

which is often less specific than the first

but yeah

tldr: little benefit, just use this:

[pale needle]

Indeed, goated link for repair, thank for the snippet i like it, won't feel as lonely when internet cuts

[dull stag]

I have no knowledge of any of this! also hey rabbit disabler

[dark pasture]

Not entirely sure if this is just a me issue but, the little popup seems to be stickied to the top of my client, even when just using the snippet alone, unlike the thread image

Adding a !important flag to the top property fixes it for me oddly enough, weird

[dull stag]

makes sense why that would fix it, doesn't make sense why it's required

il update the snippet thank you

@dull stag
I don't understand the issue your code is trying to fix
what are these disconection popups you're talking about?
and why are they problematic or obtrusive?

[junior kelp]

when your internet connection cuts off, your whole screen will be filled with this message and you can't do anything until the connection is back. this snippet makes it so that the disconnection message is only a small box in the upper right corner of the screen and you can still scroll and see messages that were cached before the connection cuf off

[dull stag]

cut out your internet while having discord open

wait like 20 seconds

and itl be in front of you obstructing your message viewing

it's not a fix to any particular issue

it's just a tweak to allow for better user experience while on an unstable internet connection

also CSS isn't code 🔥
