[Idea] Custom Server Color Display and Theme

Custom Server Color Display and Theme

This idea, as I've seen has been suggested on more then one numerous occasions throughout the years. However, they aren't really detailed and thought out so I am deciding to create my own post. 

First and foremost, this idea will follow similar implementations for Twitter Web. On their site in the settings; you can choose a color display. This display will change every button, #hashtag, links and hyperlinks on Twitter for the user. 



My suggestion for this post is to adopt a similar idea specifically for Discord servers. Instead of being set per user account, it would be per server. The server admin or owner would be able to set a color theme. When the color is set, all @mentions, links, hyperlinks, #channel-hyperlinks, and the circle image at the beginning of text channels (shown below) in the server would change to that set color. 



This screenshot example is not the best representation, however it gets the idea visualized to a good extent. The color you change the server display to would include some opacity, allowing it to blend into the overall aesthetic.

While it would change the color of the #channel-hyperlink when posted in chat, they would not change the actual color of the channel. And would remain the gray or white depending if the channel is selected or not. 



In addition, when someone @mentions a user or role, the highlight will also be in the server-set display color. 




One thing not mentioned yet is how would you implement this to other parts of a server. This feature would also be cool if it could be implemented into a server's welcome screen and rule membership screening. I couldn't think of a way, but you guys possibly could! 


I feel that Discord servers need more color to them and this would allow a ton of creativity and make every server just a bit more unique. For those who spend a lot of their time in communities across this platform, I just know this would be welcomed feature. 

Thank you for reading the post! Any feedback would be appreciated! :)
