hi!!! Saltssaumure has created a cooler, fresher, updated fork of this (one with a lot cleaner css LOL)!! check it out here!! i'd recommend their version over this one!!!
This is a BetterDiscord theme that emulates the look and feel of the chat client, Pesterchum, shown within the webcomic Homestuck. Supports both Dark and Light theme (Light Mode is preferred).
Through a rather convoluted and arcane process, you must first install BetterDiscord.
- Download the installer here and open it.
- Agree to the license.
- Select "Install BetterDiscord" from the list of options.
- Choose your current Discord build.
- Click the "Install" button, and Discord should restart with BetterDiscord installed.
Then, an additional hoop must be jumped through. But only one.
- Near the top of this page, click "Code".
- Click the "Download Zip" button to do exactly that. Download it anywhere you will remember to fetch it later.
- Ensure you have BetterDiscord installed. If you don't, refer to the first step of the first sequence.
- Open your Discord user settings. Near the very bottom, there should be a "Themes" tab. Usually above "Change Log" and "HypeSquad." Click it.
- At the top of the themes page, click the "Open themes folder" button.
- Drag the .zip you download into the themes folder that opened.
- Extract the contents to that folder and delete the original .zip file. ⚠ Make sure that everything inside the "Pesterchum-Discord-Theme-master" folder (the font folder, the .css file, etc.) except for the folder itself is in the themes folder.
- Pester your friends. 8e the 8itch.
Frankly, very little from the original master. A few small fixes have been implemented, including:
- General compatibility with BetterDiscord version 1.5.X. It is unknown if upcoming updates may break the theme again, but it is unlikely this will happen for a while (or long enough for you to not have to worry about coming back here for a fix).
- The home/private and group chat icon has been restored to the Pesterchum logo.
- The chat background for Dark Mode has been restored to a sleek, sexy, oil-like black.
- The window accent at the top left has been restored from "Discord" to "Pesterchum."
- The text box has been made to match the chat background color.
- Other under-the-hood fixes. We can't tell you what they are because this is supposed to be a cheeky changelog that doesn't really give you much more information to work with. And we're sticking to the bit.
- A few small improvements. So small you might not notice them, but noticeable enough to make the experience just that little bit better.
- Improved color clarity across multiple in-app labels and chat accents, including the call/screenshare UI elements.
- Widened the navigation side of the window (where direct messages and channels sit).
- The typing indicator now appears in black for both Light Mode and Dark Mode. Because white on yellow is fairly hard to read.
- Some extra goodies. These weren't part of the original master, but we think you'll like them.
- The small pop-up profile that appears when you click on someone's name or user icon is now decked out in that tasty Pesterchum mustard yellow. The same goes for the expanded profile.
- Most instances of the word "User" or "Friend" have been changed to "Chum."
- "Direct Messages" has been changed to "Chumroll."
- All buttons on the Friends page and the tabs on the expanded user profile now emulate the buttons from the original Pesterchum 6.0 client.
- On the expanded user profile, "Send Message" now reads "Pester."
- Header text, status icons and miscellaneous buttons near the top right are now black for easier readability against a brighter yellow. Works for both Light and Dark Mode.
