Links

Adding, ordering, styling and deleting the link buttons on your profile.

4 min readLast updated 2026-08-16

Customize → Links manages the buttons on your profile. Each link has a title, a destination URL and an optional icon.

  1. Open Customize → Links.
  2. Fill in the title and the full URL, including https://.
  3. Pick an icon if you want one.
  4. Save. A confirmation toast appears and the link shows on your profile immediately.

The Add Link form shows a live preview of the button in a framed preview box, so you can see the result before saving.

The Add Link dialog with the preview box, display mode, icon, behavior, title and URL fields
Between the preview and the title/URL pair sit three more controls: Display as, Icon and Behavior.
  • Previewthe button rendered exactly as it will appear on your profile, updating as you type
  • Link Titlethe label on the button — say where it goes, not “click here”
  • URLthe destination, including https://

Between them:

  • Display as — whether the entry renders as an icon or as a full button with text.
  • Icon — the glyph shown on it; Globe is the default.
  • BehaviorLink opens the destination; the other mode shows copyable text instead.

Icon color

The Customize button at the top of the Links page opens a dialog with three tabs. Icon Color decides where your link icons take their color from.

Leave the switch off and icons keep the profile-wide icon color from Customize → Colors.
ModeWhat it does
ThemeEvery icon takes your profile's accent color
PlatformEach service gets its own brand color — Discord blurple, Spotify green, YouTube red. Anything without a brand color falls back to your custom swatch
CustomOne color for every icon

The swatch here belongs to your links only. The icon color in Colors is a different setting — it paints your location pin, tag icons, portfolio chips and the music ticker. Changing one no longer touches the other.

Icon shimmer

The Shimmer Color tab adds a highlight that travels along your icons, one after another. It works together with the socials glow — they use different properties, so you can run both at once.

The sweep keeps each icon's own color and brightens toward the shimmer color as it passes.

With Monochrome icons on as well, the shimmer becomes a brightness sweep instead of a color one — grayscale removes the hue a colored wave would need, so the icons stay gray and the highlight still travels.

Both colors can also be set per link. Open a link's "..." menu and use the paintbrush; the brush sets whichever of the two colors the Customize dialog was last showing.

An expanded link row: pencil, eye, paintbrush, bin and close
A dot on the brush marks links that carry a color of their own rather than following the global mode.

A link painted this way keeps its color whatever the global mode says, and the palette offers Reset to default to hand it back.

Uploaded images

An icon you uploaded yourself keeps its own artwork until you actually ask for a color — either by turning the Icon Color switch on, or by painting that one link. Coloring it flattens the whole image to a single color, which is what "icon color" means for a logo.

Order

Drag links to reorder them. Order matters more than most people think: the first two buttons take the majority of clicks, and everything below the first screen takes very few.

Titles that work

  • Say where the button goes: "Commissions", "My Twitch", "Discord server".
  • Avoid "Click here" and bare URLs as titles.
  • Keep them short — long titles wrap onto two lines on phones.

Deleting

Use the trash button on a link row. Deletion is immediate and cannot be undone; the link is simply removed, your other links keep their order.

Use Links for destinations that need a label. Use Socials for platforms with a recognisable logo — those render as compact icons and take far less vertical space.
