## BetterDiscord
A modified version of Bandaged Better Discord comes preinstalled, making theming and adding plugins easy.
## Plugins & Themes
Plugins and themes are not in the standard BetterDiscord folder. They have been moved because BetterDiscord only supports the stable, PTB, and canary releases of Discord. Using the same directory could cause problems with settings.
They are located in `%AppData%/Lightcord_BD`. This is the main folder for BetterDiscord.
