It needs lots of work. Also, d*scord workers are just disgusting creatures, so they'll just ban who uses this project. I really hope, with all of my being, Microsoft gets d*scord and shuts the hell down to the eternity
All I mean is in the layout, you wouldn’t see any 2000s era messenger with that layout, small things like what lives where and the method of displaying information
I wasn't using messengers in the 2000's, so I wouldn't've known what parts of this one are modern and what aren't. Now I should go look at some screenshots of old messaging apps...
Neither to be honest, but I was around to use the last few years of the Frutiger era. What’s in the screenshots is almost identical to discords modern layout, with an old twist. Which looks great, but discords layout was of course designed with modern design principles in mind so it isn’t very accurate to that
For frutiger aero fans there is a Discord theme called [Skeuocord](https://github.com/Marda33/SkeuoCord) that make it looks dope like old times.
You can install it without any complications using betterdiscord
2004-2006 were the transition from Y2K to Frutiger Aero. Lots of Y2K elements but also some Frutiger Aero too.
This looks like Windows XP’s icons. Simple gradients and details, nothing over the top like Vista and 7. Y2K icons look chromy or have a pixelated aesthetic like Windows 98/2000.
The discord app runs like shit? I’ve not had issues with it running. What don’t you like about the design? “I just don’t like the way it looks” is valid, but I am genuinely curious as to what you think is bad about the design? Because personally, I think it does what it has to without excess frills and I like that
For me it's that it eats up more RAM than it should, and it takes a while to start. Of all the chat apps I've used Discord is the slowest. (I also don't like how it looks)
Ok, that is completely fair! Thank you for answering honestly, I was genuinely curious. Do you have other chat apps you’d recommend? I also don’t like how ram heavy it is but haven’t really found a better alternative. Thanks again and I hope you have a great day/night :)
Maybe Skype? I haven't used that in years though, but I remember it ran faster even on my potato hardware. I'm only on DC because my friends are there. Thanks, you too have a great day or night!
A word of unsolicited advise. The RAM usage is high because it runs in a seperate chrome-based browser (lookup Electron.js). Unless you need Discord's overlay and similar extras, you can simply run the web version of it in your regular browser! That significantly reduces resource usage
If Discord looked like this I would probably actually use it hahaha. I’ve used the real Discord like three times over six years because it’s so confusing and I just don’t like the layout at all. The little infographic characters also just upset me for some reason lmfao.

The art is not mine, it's by MondySpartan#0325 on discord
Is this redisinged with better discord?
no, it's a concept. either way it would probably be impossible to make this
BetterDiscord community will find a way
It needs lots of work. Also, d*scord workers are just disgusting creatures, so they'll just ban who uses this project. I really hope, with all of my being, Microsoft gets d*scord and shuts the hell down to the eternity
true
Not impossible, just _a lot_ of work. Implausible.
As far as I know, BetterDiscord is entirely customizable with CSS... it wouldn't be too far fetched to imagine something like this created using it.
Is there a discord channel for frutiger aero enthusiasts?
This is so fucking good wow. So much thought has gone into this like all the avatars being the same dimensions and being accurate to the era
Layout has modern design principles in use so it’s kinda an amalgamation of eras but other than that this is very accurate
What kind of modern design principles do you see in the layout? (I'm not doubting you, just a bit confused.)
All I mean is in the layout, you wouldn’t see any 2000s era messenger with that layout, small things like what lives where and the method of displaying information
Idk.. this is definitely reminiscent of 2000s skype. I don’t really see a problem with the multi-paned layout.

That looks like my childhood but discord
Thank you 🙏
This looks so legit

looks fucking amazing
Still better designed than actual discord
I still don’t get how it’s so popular. It’s a very confusing interface
Howso?
Is it?
It is mega confusing. I've used it for years and I still struggle to navigate through it sometimes.
As an active user of it, i agree completely.
How do you mean? What are your problems with discord?
The apps run like shit and look even worse

I thought this was real
what i wouldn't give to be able to use this
should make it a real discord theme using betterdiscord
Halo background goes hard
tag yourselves, I'm already readin my eyeZzZ
Is it possible someone could give me the assets to this mockup (i.e. the Discord logo, background, icon?)
the creator didn't give any assets, maybe you can ask him via discord
...can we mod Discord to look like that?

This is so cool
wish Discord would look like this
proper sick m8
Fuck yeah halo 2!
holy fucking shit… i wish this was real
yooooo i LOVE that shit! does your friend do commission work by chance?
idk
The Halo 2 wallpaper is just the cherry on top. Mwah, beautiful!
Definitely more Y2Kish but I love it nonetheless
Reminds me of MSN, looks nostalgic.
Discord released in 2015. But this design is amazing. Is this something that can be downloaded or simply a concept?
Just a concept
Got it. Great job!
Don't know if anyone remembers xfire from this Era. Had winamp style skins as well
