Theme Browser

[chrrybmb64]

Plugin Description

A plugin that lets you view and download themes from betterdiscord or another theme repository. Pretty much just ThemeRepo but for Vencord. Ideally this plugin would have a search function and let you sort themes by things like downloads.

Existing Plugin for other mod

ThemeRepo - https://betterdiscord.app/plugin/ThemeRepo

Request Agreement

• [X] I read the above and made sure my plugin is possible and allowed
• [X] I checked the existing plugins and made sure my plugin doesn't already exist
• [X] I searched the existing issues and made sure a similar request doesn't already exist

This would probably not be implemented as a plugin but instead as a tab inside of the existing themes menu. Also, there would probably have to be some Vencord themes repo too, and this would probably be used instead of the CSS snippets channel.

Should I make a feature request on the Vencord repository then?

[Tr0llie]

I see use for this, this might be helpful for people who wants to find themes easily (and not search outside vencord), there should also be a search function and a filliter, to let users have the fullest of their abilities. the filiter or sort may include "popular", " New", "cozy", "cold", "warn", etc... i think you get the idea

This is a really bad drawing made by me under 20 second and this could be an example UI

the pros of this are:

• find themes easily
• users dont have trouble
• users can be tabbed in discord instead of going elsewhere
• can have previews before applying it

cons:

• someone needs to update this
• can be a hassle if themes breaks
• users may experience UI issues (sometimes)

this is really my thought on this request, i've been wanting this one for a while now

Created a little silly proof of concept for this (uses bd api for now)

ngl but this looks amazing and all the resources to make it exist (we would need a place to fetch the themes tho)

We probably could make it work similar to the reviewDB/decor plugin where you can submit themes within discord. Issue would be as already said above, the need of someone to host an api. (i'm currently hosting one on vercel) but yeah up to maintainers ig

I think sorting themes by 2 main tags (theme and tweak) would help. Themes would work where only 1 is allowed at a time (with a manual override), but multiple tweaks are allowed.* There could also be more tags based on what plugins they require, where they only show if that plugin is enabled.

*Themes would be major updates to discord's UI but tweaks would be small snippets that would usually be put in quickCSS

My current implementation uses the Online Themes (Vencord.Settings.themeLinks), which allows both, small tweaks and more than one theme to be applied at the same time. (downside is that the css needs to be served directly :husk:)

I, personally wouldn't limit the user just to one theme, let them do whatever they want

I am building a system for built-in local snippets, I think I will add a "origin/source" metadata field (for integration with this theoretical theme browser to assist with)

yes, this is a dumb arbitrary limitation that will cause everyone to mark everything as a tweak, and some themes do work together

Cool !

Love that idea, but there could be a button to add sources where it would search for themes

that only works with the assumption that every theme repository uses the same format

Oh I see, maybe like an adapter or something
