Recent mobile updates have refined the dark theme options, offering deeper blacks and improved contrast for better visibility in different lighting conditions.

Discord Nitro Themes

If you're a Discord Nitro subscriber, you get access to additional theme options beyond the standard Light and Dark modes. Nitro subscribers can choose from various color themes that apply across the desktop app, giving you more ways to personalize your Discord experience.

These themes work alongside your existing appearance settings and provide a fresh look without needing third-party software.
