KDE Material You for Discord

[Azarakash]

Hey! First of all, I just want to say that this is by far my favorite Plasma widget. Huge thanks to the maintainer for all the effort and hard work that has gone into this project.

It's genuinely impressive how far this project can reach into the apps we use every day — from KDE's own applications to Spotify and beyond. One thing I feel is missing, though, is Discord support.

Discord itself doesn't provide an official way to customize its UI with CSS, but clients/modifications such as Vesktop, Vencord, and BetterDiscord make CSS injection possible. I don't have much of a programming background, but while working with this project I realized that a similar approach to the existing Spotify integration could potentially work for Discord as well.

I actually experimented with this idea myself. I put together a small Python script that reads the Material You colors generated by this project and injects them into a Vesktop theme. It's definitely a rough prototype, but it works surprisingly well — when the KDE Material You palette changes, the Discord theme can be updated to match it as well.

Here's a small proof of concept

I'd be happy to share the script and the approach I used if it could be useful as a starting point.

Would this be something you'd consider adding in the future? And if so, I'd also love to hear if you think there's a better or more general approach for handling applications like Discord that don't provide native theming support.
