+Discord often hardcodes colors despite having css variables for all it's colors.
+
+For example, `--primary-160` is `#ebedef`.
+
+But in the code, they have hardcoded the color hex instead of using the variable
+```css
+.defaultLightModeCustomGradient_e77fa3 {
+    background: linear-gradient(rgba(0,0,0,0) 20%, #ebedef 100%);
+}
+```
+
+This causes issues for theme devs who want to make stuff by directly modifying color variables as they need to manually fix all these problems.
+
+This is very prevalent when using ClientTheme and looking at "channels and roles"

+
+This plugin addresses this issue by generating css to make the problematic code use color variables instead, for example:
+```css
+.defaultLightModeCustomGradient_e77fa3 {
+    background: linear-gradient(rgba(0,0,0,0) 20%, var(--primary-160) 100%);
+}
+```
