Discord with mica :)
I chose wrong backdrop type when I was writing this theme. So picture you see is actually Mica tabbed not Mica

Discord Mica

Discord Mica focus on brining Mica material and WinUI 3 standard to Discord. Also keeping Discord aesthetic at the same time. Without fancy animations or overwhelming colorful background. Provide just enough customization.

Requirement

  • BetterDiscord or Vencord (You should know this one)
  • MicaForEveryone (For Mica backdrop)

Get Started

  1. Patch your Discord with BetterDiscord or Vencord
  2. Add Discord process to MicaForEveryone and set backdrop type to Mica
  3. Enable transparency in BetterDiscord/Vencord settings

That's it :D

Note

  • You could use any backdrop material, like Acrylic, with a Discord-Mica theme. However, this is not recommended since Acrylic is a transparent material, which blurs the contents behind windows. This can be performance-heavy and cause visibility issues. Acrylic should only be used in small areas.
  • Both Mica and Mica Tabbed are tested recommended.
  • I don't recommend enabling the blur-behind feature. Mica does a great job creating contrast between background and foreground elements. However, with certain backgrounds, it can still cause visibility issues and is also performance-intensive, similar to Acrylic.
  • The screenshot I took above is actually Mica tabbed. I did not realize I was using Mica tabbed when I was writing this theme. And I was trying to replicate Mica look. If you want to get a similar appearance you can use the dark-bg values in the comments
  • You may want to add more blur effects with a backdrop filter, but when transparency is enabled, backdrop-filter breaks. I recommend tweaking colors to make elements fit into the wallpaper, instead of using transparent elements without blur.
  • Mica with WinDynamicWallpaper is AWESOME

Customization

You can find all the customizable variables in the :root field of /src/main.css. Below is a list of common variables you may want to use
--dark/light-bg Allows you to tweak transparency of the background for personal preference or accessibility
--dark/light-accent Allows you to tweak accent color of primary button or toggles. You can get current accent color in Windows color settings. And retrieve it with PowerToy color picker.
