NEX Queue ships with 8 ready-made Adaptive Card themes. They all show the same information (position, priority, time, tier) — the layout is what changes. Pick the one that matches your community’s look.

Switching themes

Edit one line in config.lua:
Config.Interface.Theme = "compactbar"
Then restart the resource:
restart nex_queue
That’s it — every player who joins from that point sees the new theme.

Available themes

KeyWhat it looks like
classicCentered server hero icon + 3-column metrics row (Position / Priority / Time). The original look.
bannerWide banner image as the focal point inside the card + centered emoji-bullet status.
factset”Connecting to YourServer” subhead with a tabular FactSet of key/value rows. Clean and information-dense.
boardingpassStyled like an airline ticket — Origin ✈ Destination header + flight-stat grid.
compactbarAvatar + name + inline buttons in a single row, then a bulleted list with right-aligned values. The most compact theme.
minimal”You are in the queue!” + 3 short text rows. Plain and fast.
centeredHero identity card — the player’s name dominates, their position is shown bold below.
cardsThree separated stat tiles (emphasis containers) — one for each metric.
The wait-list button (when configured) appears on every theme — it opens an in-card panel listing the rest of the queue.

Hot-swap at runtime

You can switch themes without restarting using the export. Useful for testing, events, or a “current vibe” rotation:
exports.nex_queue:SetNexActiveTheme("boardingpass")
Get the list of valid theme names:
local themes = exports.nex_queue:GetNexThemeList()
-- { "classic", "banner", "factset", "boardingpass", "compactbar", "minimal", "centered", "cards" }
Check the currently active one:
local current = exports.nex_queue:GetNexActiveTheme()
Theme swaps take effect on the next refresh for every player already in the queue — by default that’s within Config.Server.RefreshRate (1 second).

Tips for picking a theme

  • Have a wide banner image you love?banner or boardingpass
  • Want it to feel like a flight to your city?boardingpass (use the city name in ServerShortName)
  • Want maximum info in minimum vertical space?compactbar or factset
  • Want it to feel like a poster?centered or cards
  • Want a “no-nonsense” terminal look?minimal
  • Classic FiveM queue look?classic

Image sizing

Every theme uses these two images:
ImageRecommended size
BannerImage~1500 × 500 PNG, < 1 MB
ServerIcon~128 × 128 PNG, transparent background
Host them on a reliable CDN. Discord-hosted image URLs work, but they may rate-limit if many players are connecting at once.
