Profile customization

Your profile is what others see when they click your name in the sidebar. Fancy Mumble lets you make it look the way you want.

Open it from Settings, Profile.

What you can change

Username

Your default username is what gets pre-filled in the connect wizard. Servers may also store a registered name, see Identities.

Avatar

A square picture. Crop with the built-in editor.

Banner

Wide image shown on top of your profile card. Plain image or animated gradient.

Bio

A small text editor with bold, italic, color, and inline images.

Name style

Font, weight, italic, color, gradient, glow. Live preview.

Decoration

A small icon next to your name (sparkle, fire, ice, rainbow, gold, neon, glitch).

Nameplate

Gradient background behind your name in user lists.

Avatar frame

A colored or animated ring around your avatar.

Animated effect

Subtle effects on your card: particles, sparkle, snow, embers.

Custom CSS

Expert-only. Drop custom styles into the card for your power-user friends.

Step by step: change your avatar

1. Open Settings, Profile.

2. Click the avatar circle (or the Edit avatar button).

3. Drag and drop or browse for a PNG, JPG, GIF, or WebP.

4. The image editor opens. Crop to a square. The round mask is just how it looks, the file itself stays square.

5. (Optional) Toggle GIF to keep the source animated.

6. Click Save.

   Tip

   On a Fancy Mumble server the avatar is uploaded to the server’s file storage and shared on demand. On a vanilla server it is embedded inline.

Step by step: pick a banner

The banner sits above your profile card.

1. Settings, Profile, Edit banner.
2. Drop an image, or pick a preset gradient.
3. (Optional) Tweak the vertical offset so the focal point is centered.
4. Click Save.

Writing a bio

The bio editor supports:

• Bold, italic, underline.
• Text color (a 12-swatch quick-pick palette plus a custom picker).
• Inline images (pasted, dropped, or from a URL, resized to 400x400 max).
• Links.

The bio is shown to other people when they click your name. Length is capped at 2000 characters.

HTML in comments

Servers can disable rich rendering with allowhtml=false. In that case other users will see your bio as plain text. Fancy Mumble servers allow HTML by default.

Name style

The Name Style section lets you restyle how your name renders in chat and in the sidebar. These styles only show to other Fancy Mumble users, vanilla Mumble shows your plain username.

Font

Pick from a curated list (system, monospace, serif, display, pixel, handwritten).

Color and gradient

Solid color, or a two-stop diagonal gradient. Toggle gradient and pick start and end swatches.

Weight, italic

Bold, italic. Combinable.

Glow

Adds a soft glow around the text. Pick color and size (1 to 10 pixels).

Nameplates, frames, decorations, effects

Four layers stack on your card. All four are optional and can be combined.

Layer	Where it shows	Examples
Frame	Ring around your avatar	None, Gold, Neon, Animated
Decoration	Small icon next to name	Sparkle, Fire, Ice, Rainbow, Gold, Neon, Glitch
Nameplate	Gradient behind name in lists	Ocean, Amethyst, Sunset, Gold, Silver, Rainbow, Dark
Effect	Animated overlay on the card	Particles, Sparkle, Snow, Embers

The live preview card on the right of the panel updates as you pick.

Per-identity profiles

If you use multiple identities, for example one for a gaming server and one for work, Fancy Mumble keeps a separate profile per identity. Switching identity automatically loads the right one.

Note

The first time you use multiple identities, your existing global profile is copied into each. You can then edit each one independently.

Limits

Field	Limit
Bio	2000 characters
Avatar	256x256, around 80 KB after compression
Inline bio image	400x400, around 80 KB
Banner	up to about 1 MB

Troubleshooting

• Bio colors and images are missing, the server has disabled rich rendering.
• Avatar reverts after reconnect, the server’s file storage is offline. The app falls back to the inline avatar.
• Name style is invisible to a friend, they are on a vanilla client.
• Save button is disabled, the username field is empty.
• A teammate’s profile shows only their avatar, with no banner, name style, or decorations: either they have not set up any customization yet, or the server’s file server is offline and their uploaded images cannot be loaded. Profile styling metadata is stored in the user comment field and always synced; only images hosted on the file server (custom avatar uploads, custom banner images) require the file server to be reachable.
