Want to Install Custom Discord Themes and Plugins to make Discord look attractive?. Then, this article will help you to do so.
Discord doesn’t need any introduction, it offers so many features through servers. But since the Discord Windows App launched, there aren’t many changes in terms of App theme and appearance. Yes, you can switch between light and dark themes and also can set custom font sizes. But, there isn’t any option available to change the Discord App background. You can install Discord bots on your server to run the server on auto mode. But, the Discord client still lacks so many features from the client side. If you want to install custom discord skins/themes and plugins, now you can do so with BetterDiscord. Moreover, now you can send large videos on Discord.
What is BetterDiscord?
BetterDiscord is a kind of third-party extension for the Discord Windows App. It offers client-side modification for Discord users. This means you can install themes and plugins on your personal copy of Discord. Themes and Plugins will not get applied to your discord server. By that I mean, that only you will be able to see changes in the discord app. Natively BetterDiscord also offers some built-in features like Emotes from Twitch, FFZ, and BBTV, and an in-client server browser.
BetterDiscord offers a large collection of themes and plugins. These custom themes can change the look and feel of Discord. And with Discord Plugins, you can add so many useful features and functionality to your Discord Windows App. If you use the Discord App quite often, plugins such as translator, SpotifyControls, CallTimeCounter, BetterVolume, and others will definitely come in handy.
Is BetterDiscord Allowed and Safe to Install?
Since Better Discord is not officially associated with the official Discord App. That’s why using the BetterDiscord app can harm your Discord Account. And, as you can see Discord posted about BetterDiscord on Twitter from their official Account. But, if you really want to try BetterDiscord. Then, you can do so from a temporary Discord Account.
