Beautiful Discord Installation Guide
  1. Install Python BeautifulDiscord is created in the Python programming language, and as such you must install it. Open https://www.python.org in your preferred web browser and download the latest version. Install Python and at the end therre should be an option that says something along the lines of Add to PATH. If you don't check this, it'll make a future step slightly harder.

  2. Install BeautifulDiscord Open a command prompt/terminal, and enter python -m pip install -U https://github.com/leovoel/BeautifulDiscord/archive/master.zip, this will download and install BeautifulDiscord so that you can use it. If you did not add Python to PATH, navigate to the directory of where Python is installed and run the command. If you get an error while installing that says something along the lines of Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required, follow these steps. A. If you do not have Visual Studio 2015 installed, go to http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools and download the Visual C++ Build Tools 2015. When it's done installing, run python -m pip install -U https://github.com/leovoel/BeautifulDiscord/archive/master.zip again and it should work. B. If you do have Visual Studio 2015 installed, it's a little bit harder.

  • Open up the 'Change or remove a program' dialog, and find something along the lines of Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 in the list. Double-click it and a dialog will appear. Press Modify then click on the Visual C++ dropdown and check Common Build Tools. Press Ok and wait for it to install. This'll take a while.
  • When it's finished installing, run python -m pip install -U https://github.com/leovoel/BeautifulDiscord/archive/master.zip again and it shyould work.
  1. Apply BeautifulDiscord Make sure that you have the version(s) of Discord that you would like to have BeautifulDiscord applied to, and in the command prompt, type python -m beautifuldiscord --css path/to/your.css and it'll automatically detect the open Discord instances and apply itself to them.

  2. Reapplying In the event that a Discord update causes BeautifulDiscord to unload, or it unloads in a crash, you can easily reapply it by following the instructions in step 3, as BeautifulDiscord is fairly forwards-compatible.

BeautifulDiscord is a modification for the official Discord client to allow it to load custom CSS files by the user. 🙄

Hackson, you are BEYOND stupid, as Ovyerus said, BeautifulDiscord is a client MODIFICATION to allow CSS files. Even discord themselves have mentioned B.D in the Testers Server.

Can you send a table with all the BeatifulDiscord CSS arguments? That would help me a lot because I didn't find any online.

I'm finding two things while looking for Microsoft Visual Studio 2015. Which one do I select?

One is a 64-bit installer (top), the bottom is the 32 bit installer. You most likely want to use the 64 bit installer because majority of modern CPUs are 64 bit - but you can double check (on Windows 10) by going to Settings > System > About (at the bottom) and then looking under "System type"
