Tips & Best Practices
- • Choose colors with good contrast for readability
- • Light text on dark backgrounds is easier on the eyes
- • Test your color scheme on different devices to ensure visibility
- • Use accent colors that match your server's branding
- • Limit animations to prevent the card from feeling too busy
- • Consider accessibility when choosing colors (colorblind friendly)
- • Update rank cards seasonally or for special events
- • Allow user personalization to increase engagement with the leveling system
Troubleshooting
Text is hard to read
Increase contrast between background and text colors. Choose darker backgrounds with lighter text.
Custom image background not showing
Ensure the image URL is valid and publicly accessible. PNG/JPG formats work best.
Colors look different on mobile
Mobile displays colors slightly differently. Test your card on multiple devices.
Changes not applying
Changes apply immediately. Try `/rank` again or use `/rankcard reset` to clear cache.
