Make hardware acceleration easier to turn on and off

purpzie
At the moment, in order to do this you need to go into your settings -> appearance -> scroll down -> hardware acceleration. I and many others find ourselves toggling it often, as we switch from using Discord by itself and playing games. The way Discord has to restart for it to apply is understandable and doesn't need to be changed (I assume it would be too much effort), but moving the option to a more prominent spot would be awesome.

    Discord got the awful habit of using 40% of my GPU right as i most needed those resources in-game. I toggled off hardware acceleration and now i can't even hover over a menu item without Electron getting a stroke... We need this feature to be "When Discord detects a game, turn off hardware acceleration"

    What you're asking for will never happen. This is not how UX is designed these days. If anything will ever be done in that regard, it will be autodetection of other GPU-heavy processes. And possibly a dropdown list to switch between Autodetect, On and Off.
