MacLike Discord Theme

A clean, minimalist Discord theme aiming to create a more native, macOS-like experience.

Preview

Features

• Native Window Controls: macOS-style "traffic light" window controls (close, minimize, maximize).
• Translucency: Incorporates a subtle background blur (mica/acrylic effect) on various UI elements for depth.
• Mac-style Sidebar: Replicates a native macOS app look
• Rounded Corners: Consistent use of corner radii
• Theme Support: Support for native Discord color themes (Appearance settings). Full restart required when applying a new theme. I cannot fix this; it is an issue on Discord's end.

Planned Features

• Font Integration: Replacing the default font with SF Fonts
• Animations: Replicate macOS-style UI animations and transitions (context menu)
• Theme Settings Plugin: Streamline customization options

Known Issues

• Switching between light and dark themes removes transparency. This is an issue with Discord/Vencord's implementation, so it cannot be fixed on my end.
