How do I use Customization → Theming?
Changes how the bot's automatic posts look in each channel: the colour of the stripe down the side, the small print at the bottom, and whether the post pings everyone.
Where to find it
On the website: Front Office → Customization → How Your Posts Look.
In the app: More → Front Office, then pick Customization from the Choose a section dropdown.
Customization has no row of its own in the sidebar; it lives as a tab inside Front Office, alongside Special Roles and League Access.
What this tab is for
Six kinds of automatic post get their own row:
- Game of the Week: the headline matchup card and its final result.
- Postgame Reports: the recap the bot posts after a game uploads.
- Roster Updates: signings, cuts, injury moves, depth chart changes.
- Audit Log: the record of what commissioners and the dashboard changed.
- Streams · Go-Live: Twitch and YouTube notifications for your streamers.
- Broadcast / Announcements: league-wide announcements you send yourself.
Each row has three controls and a live preview beside it that repaints as you type, so you can see the post before anyone else does.
The three controls
Embed colour is the stripe down the left-hand side of the post. Leave it as it comes and the post keeps the bot's standard colour.
Footer text is the small print along the bottom, up to a hundred characters. Leave it empty and the standard footer is used.
Suppress mentions stops that kind of post pinging everyone. The post still goes out and still appears in the channel; it just arrives quietly. Use it on roster updates, which fire often, and leave it off for Game of the Week.
This changes the look, not the destination
Nothing here decides which channel a post goes to. Those are set on their own pages: Game Day for the matchup posts, Notifications for the feeds, and so on. Theming only decorates whatever is already going out.
Which also means a row you have styled beautifully will show you nothing at all if that kind of post has no channel set yet.
Every row saves on its own
There is a Save and a Reset on each row, and they only apply to that row. Changing three rows means pressing Save three times. Reset clears that row back to the standard look.
The pill in the corner of each row says Override active or Default, which is the quickest way to see what you have actually changed.
Step by step
- Open the Theming tab.
- Find the row for the kind of post you want to change.
- Set the colour, the footer, or the mention switch, and watch the preview.
- Press Save on that row.
- Give it a minute before checking Discord.
Common problems
- I saved and Discord looks the same. Two things to check, in order: give it a minute, because settings are held in memory briefly; then check that kind of post has a channel at all. Theming cannot show you a post that is not being sent.
- I changed four rows and only one stuck. Each row has its own Save. The three you did not press are still sitting there unsaved.
- Suppress mentions did not stop the post. It is not an off switch. It stops the ping, not the post. To stop the post, turn that feature off on its own page.
- The colour box will not take my code. It wants six characters of hex, like
1D428A. Anything else is refused rather than saved wrong. - The preview is not what came out in Discord. The preview shows your row's settings on sample wording. The real post carries real league data, so the words differ: the colour, footer and pings are what to compare.
