Colors follow Discord conventions:
- –Green for online
- –Yellow moon icon for idle
- –Red for DND
- –Gray for offline
Includes a subtle hover tooltip showing the current status in words.
Getting your Discord user ID
You need your numeric Discord ID. To get it:
- –Open Discord
- –Go to User Settings → Advanced → enable Developer Mode
- –Right-click your username anywhere and select "Copy User ID"
