# OpenAsar
|
|
**An experimental open-source alternative of Discord desktop's `app.asar`**
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
- **:rocket: Startup Speed**: ~2x faster startup times (up to ~4x with experimental config)
|
|
- **:chart_with_upwards_trend: Performance**: OpenAsar can make your client feel snappier (scrolling, switching channels, etc)
|
|
- **:paintbrush: Splash Theming**: Easy theming for your splash which works with most themes for any client mod
|
|
- **:electric_plug: Hotpluggable**: Replace one file and it's installed, that's it (same with uninstall)
|
|
- **:gear: Configurable**: Adds many config options for Discord and OpenAsar enhancements (see config section)
|
|
- **:feather: Lightweight**: <2% of Discord's original size (9mb -> ~105kb)
|
|
- **:shield: No Tracking**: Removes Discord's built-in tracking for crashes and errors in the asar (not app itself)

## [Install Guide](https://github.com/GooseMod/OpenAsar/wiki/Install-Guide)
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Config
|
|
You can configure OpenAsar via `settings.json` (found in your Discord app data / user data), under a `openasar` object. Keep in mind most options are defaults for good reason.
|
|
|
|
### OpenAsar Options
|
|
- `quickstart` (bool, default false) - whether to use Quickstart (experimental)
|
|
- `themeSync` (bool, default true) - syncs your modded client's theme with splash theming
|
|
- `autoupdate` (bool, default true) - whether to autoupdate OpenAsar after Discord startup
|
|
- `updatePrompt` (bool, default false) - whether to show update prompt after updating OpenAsar
|
|
- `splashText` (bool, default true) - whether to show bottom right version info text in splash
|
|
|
|
### Extra Discord Options
|
|
- `multiInstance` (bool, default false) - whether to enable multi-instance
|
|
- `skipStartupUpdateChecks` (bool, default false) - skips startup update checking (Linux-only)
|
|
|
|
An example of a settings.json with OpenAsar config:
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"BACKGROUND_COLOR": "#202225",
|
|
"IS_MAXIMIZED": false,
|
|
"IS_MINIMIZED": false,
|
|
"WINDOW_BOUNDS": {
|
|
"x": 801,
|
|
"y": 22,
|
|
"width": 797,
|
|
"height": 876
|
|
},
|
|
"MINIMIZE_TO_TRAY": false,
|
|
"OPEN_ON_STARTUP": false,
|
|
"openasar": {
|
|
"quickstart": true
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Additionally there are some environmental variables you can use:
|
|
- `OPENASAR_QUICKSTART` (bool, default false) - same as `quickstart` config option
|
|
- `OPENASAR_NOSTART` (bool, default false) - if enabled halts starting after splash loads (for splash testing) |
