NicePinBot: Style Your Telegram

Telegram looks the same for nearly everyone out of the box: a blue theme, standard labels, the default font. If you want your profile and chats to stand out, NicePinBot is a customization catalog with more than 400 thousand users.

It all happens in an ordinary chat. Send a command, pick an item, tap. No extra app is needed.

Five shelves in one menu

The command list shows what the bot is made of. Each one opens its own section.

• /themes opens the catalog of themes, which are color schemes for the messenger interface.
• /languages leads to language packs: files that change the interface labels, such as button and menu names.
• /wallpapers shows chat background images.
• /fonts helps you make stylized text.
• /notes turns a video into a round video message.

There is also /chat, which is how you add the bot to a group. 🎨

What a language pack does

A language pack is a set of strings Telegram uses to label its interface. Install one and the buttons and menus show playful or themed wording instead of the standard text.

You install it from a link in the bot with one confirmation tap. To go back, switch to a regular language in the settings. Packs are made by enthusiasts, so quality varies from one to the next.

Installing a theme in a minute

1. Open the bot and send /start.
2. Go to the theme catalog and choose one you like.
3. Press apply. Telegram shows you a preview.
4. Confirm. If you change your mind, return to the default theme in appearance settings.

Themes and wallpapers differ between platforms. A design that looks great on a phone may look different on desktop, so check the preview. 📱

Fonts in Telegram: what is really possible

Telegram itself supports bold, italic, monospace, strikethrough, spoilers and quotes. Anything fancier comes from font generators.

They swap normal letters for lookalike Unicode characters. It looks nice, but there are limits: message search often cannot find such text, and older devices may show empty squares instead of letters. It works for a display name or a short caption, and it is a poor fit for long messages.

Round videos from clips

A round video is a circular video message. Usually you record it with the camera inside a chat, and the /notes command helps convert a finished clip to that format. It saves you a reshoot. 🎥

Staying safe while you restyle

• Source. Install themes and language packs only from the bot's catalog and ignore files from strangers in private messages.
• Permissions. A theme or pack should never ask for your login code or password.
• Ads. Catalogs like this can carry promotional posts. Skip links you do not recognize.
• Undo. You can always go back to the default theme and language in settings.

It is a light entertainment bot for changing how the messenger looks and making your profile easier to spot.
