How to use
Find your discord "token"
Go to http://discordapp.com/channels/@me
Open your browser's developer console. (Normally F12 or CTRL-SHIFT-I)
Go into "network" and hit F5. Type "v6" in the filter field
Filter by XHR and look through entries until you find "authorization" under
"request headers". This is your token.
If all else fails, join the dev discord and we'll be glad to help!
Run dline --store-token to store your token

Edit ~/.config/dline/config.yaml to your choosing.

Color Customization
Almost all aspects of the client can be colored to the user's wishes. You can set
these colors from within
~/.config/dline/config.yaml
Note: These assume that you're using the standard terminal colors. If you have colors
already defined in your ~/.Xresources or similar, this will be very confusing.
Launching
dline uses git for automatic updates, so you must be within the dline directory upon
starting. Manually you can launch via python3.7 ./dline.py, however it is advised
to create a helper script to do this for you.
A Note On Emojis
Currently most of the standard unicode emojis are displaying. Note your terminal
must be able to render these symbols and you must be using a font set that contains
them. Because some of the emojis that discord uses are non-standard, they may not
display properly. Here is an example of a random few.
Custom emojis however, are displayed as :emoji_name:
Note On Font Support
Like emojis, not all terminals and fonts support italic/bold/underline and
'background' colors, (which are used for `code`). If these features aren't working
for you, odds are you are not using a supported terminal/font. Experiment with
different setups to see what works.
Letting me know what setups don't work helps a lot!
Dude this is awesome! How can I support the project?
Star it! 🌟
It helps to get it higher in GitHub's search results as well as making me feel good
inside. ;)

FAQ
Yet another discord cli?
I didn't like any of the implementations I found around github. Too buggy. Too
bloated. Bad UI. No customization. Some, after discord updates, no longer functioning
at all.
Why use a token and not email/password?
Discord's API does allow for email/pass login, but if you were to have 2FA, (2
factor authentication), enabled on your account, Discord would interpret this as a
malicious attack against your account and disable it.
So, because "Nobody reads the readme", I have disabled this.
How should I submit a GitHub issue?
Try to include this format:
OS: Linux/Debian
Terminal: urxvt
Font: source code pro
Python Version: 3.6
How to reproduce: xxxxxx
It says my python is out of date even though I have 3.5+ installed?
Probably because you have multiple versions installed. Try running with
python3.5 or python3.6 rather than just "python3"
I'm getting weird encoding errors on startup
You probably don't have UTF-8 set. If you're using Linux, look up how to do this
according to your distro.
If you're on BSD, add this to your /etc/profile:
export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
export LESSCHARSET=utf-8
and make sure it gets sourced upon opening your terminal.
Misc Screenshots
It can even be configured to hide most elements of the UI in the config:
Known Bugs
My bug isn't listed here, how can I voice my problem?
If you have a specific issue that isn't listed here or in the wiki, post a github
issue with a detailed explanation and I can try to get it fixed. Join the discord if
you want live help.
See my webpage for more information on bugs.
Token Warning
Do NOT share your token with anybody, if someone else gets ahold of your token,
they may control your account. If you are someone who keeps their ~/.config on
github, add your token to your .gitignore. Otherwise it will become public.

Legal Disclaimer
Discord hasn't put out any official statement on whether using their API for 3rd
party clients is allowed or not. They have said that using their API to make
"self-bots" is against their ToS. By self-bots, it is my understanding they mean
automating non-bot accounts as bots. My code has no automated functions, or any
on_events that provide features not included in the official client.
As far as I know, nobody has been banned for using things like this before, but
Discord might one day change their mind. With this said, I take no responsibility
if this gets you banned.
