## What's This?
[Lightcord](https://lightcord.org) is a simple and customizable client for Discord.
It includes [BandagedBD](https://github.com/rauenzi/BetterDiscordApp), [Glasstron](https://github.com/AryToNeX/Glasstron) and a [discord.js-like api](https://github.com/Lightcord/Lightcord/tree/master/DiscordJS).
## Informations
Lightcord doesn't *patch* Discord with it's content. If it was, Discord could update itself and break the patch. That's why Lightcord is a standalone Discord client. Just grab the latest release version you need, and launch it !

## BetterDiscord
BetterDiscord (BandagedBD) is already installed (modified version).
You can go into your settings to manage plugins.
Because it's more painful than anything else, global emotes are not supported on Lightcord. They have been removed.
The freeze caused by the emotes downloading at startup was annoying. So we removed them.
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 supports only stable, ptb and canary release. Using the same directory could cause problems with settings.

They are located in `%AppData%/Lightcord_BD`. This is the main folder for BetterDiscord.
