After getting the new theme (about a week ago?) I noticed the close button is not as readable as before. Could you please take a look?

I am on MacOS 10.14.4 and I can confirm the same is happening on my windows machine. Here are some screenshots:

• For threads:

• For downloads:

The close button for viewing Pinned items and Members of a channel is working correctly though.

Please let me know if there's any additional information I can provide. Thank you!

See screenshot below. This happens for all threads.

https://github.com/widget-/slack-black-theme

Scroll down to "One Dark"

which uses:

"--primary: #61AFEF;
--text: #ABB2BF;
--background: #282C34;
--background-elevated: #3B4048;"

For some reason the lato code/version you have spaces things out more - I want to make it to look exactly like this:

When I tried using https://github.com/widget-/slack-black-theme 's version on MacOS Mojave, the main chat window is white. When I use yours, all the windows correctly match in color, but the font seems too spaced out, different from Slack's default font, and doesn't match MacOS's dark mode ("One Dark" does though).

I looked over your code for the ssb-interop.js file & I have no idea how to edit it to make it look like what you see in this image above. I just want to make it look like this with Slack's default fonts/spacing/etc.

To recreate, join a channel and you should see the join popup is not dark themed.

Slack version: Version 3.4.0 (Direct Download)

14 January slack was updated and your theme was dropped out. Please review what is the reason. And how to return caiceA/slack-black-theme (now it unavailable to setup)

see example

I removed the .js file and replaced it with the backed-up original, but it hasn't fixed my Slack back to its original condition. It now looks like what you see in the attached screenshot.

Hey there!

First off, thanks so much for this awesome theme, it's very complete and so easy on the eyes! There's just one small bit that stays (partly) white, in the Downloads tab:

So the bottom Shift-click hint, and the hover mode are white. I'd really appreciate it if you could help me with this, since I usually have that tab open.

Thanks again!

When not hovering over a slackbot message or reply, it will show up as white like this and go to the normal background colour when you hover it (not the proper hover colour).

the theme disappeared after the last update 3.4.2 (downloaded from the Apple Store)

Should the text here be white?

Anyway to get this working on Linux?

I just installed this theme on Slack 3.3.8 on MacOS Mojave (10.14.2) and even though the colours are great, the text doesn't look as crisp as it did without the theme or in your screenshot. It's almost as if Slack or MacOS is having trouble rendering it. I tried installing the font both into User Fonts and System Fonts, but I'm having the same problem.

The difference is subtle, but noticeable when you're looking at a full page of text. I can't provide a full window screenshot, but I've attached a sample that might be clear enough to notice the strangeness. It's especially noticeable when something is in code syntax.

Any ideas?

The colors are all messed up again.

See this screenshot: https://cl.ly/60a820321937

I am using the latest version of the file and Slack.

I noticed that when I upload an image in slack, the texts that include the timestamp of the image upload are a little hard to read.

Here's what I mean:

I manually highlighted the text to make them more visible in this screenshot.

I am using Mac Mojave and my slack version is 3.3.7.

Everything else about this theme is awesome though! This is by far my favorite! :) thanks for the good work! 👍

'Loading history's bar background is white ,How can i fix it ?

Theme is broken in latest slack update 3.3.3

It'd be interesting if it added a sidebar theme to be selected , but would obey the overrides allowing for small tweaks like to text font.

The 'x' by someone's name still highlights the selection in dark purple. Not a huge issue, just letting you know about this.

Using Slack version 3.4.1.

In threaded reply pane, channel name is invisible/blended, under Thread heading:
Usually a channel name is displayed there.

First of all, congrats on this theme, it's by far the best I've found so far. It's possible I misunderstood some step, but while most of the colours do change to grey, the title bar remains the usual white, regardless of the number of workspaces I'm signed into. I'm guessing it's an issue with the latest update.

Is there anything that can be done about it?

after updating to 4.0.0 the directory has changed, I dropped the .sh on terminal as previously mentioned but I get this message:
sudo: npx: command not found
what do I need to do?

The threads on this tab have white background with light grey text which makes it hard to read. I've reinstalled slack and re-replaced the file in order to see if it was the problem on my end but the style seems to be the same. Was this intentional? If not, a fix would be helpful :) Thanks!

The date straddles the message pane and the top pane, and the top half appears clipped.

I tried to get at the CSS to make a PR, but looks like the styling is inline. Do you see a way to fix this?

The readme mentions it works for Mac Only, however I can confirm it works on Linux as well.

When Slack is installed locally, the path of the js file to replace is:

/usr/lib/slack/resources/app.asar.unpacked/src/static/ssb-interop.js

When starting a new direct message, slack will highlight the first matching result, which makes the text barely readable.

If you hover over a channel or DM it will make the name of it invisible. For example, this is Slackbot:

Hi! Love the amount of work you seem to have put into this, but Slack refuses to start after having added your custom CSS part in ssb-interop.js :(

Title says it all. Chat and Thread windows are left as white after the "upgrade".

If it helps, the ssb-interop.js file is only 1kB when the original was 5kB... Maybe you forgot to include some content... :)

The slack-dark-mode.sh that is extracted from slack-4-sh.zip, is missing shell shebang, hence is not executable directly & gives this error on console.

Please add #!/usr/bin/env bash as first line to fix it.

Just updated and lost the theme. I tried going through the installation instructions again, and no use.

I'm unable to customize my name colour or the name colour of other users so there's no visual contrast from one name to another. All are in a default white. Any thoughts?

Below is a screenshot of how javascript is styled within a code snippet:

JSON is pretty bad too with a deep reds and blues for text colors.

Wanna give appreciation to the author @caiceA for making this amazing theme, it's super slick. If it's not too much of an ask, when you do an update to the theme, I would very much appreciate if you could create a github release tag.

This way I can simply watch for releases and get notified when you update 👍

Can't take screenshot because it happens too quickly

Just wanted to say thanks. Works like a charm, and I really appreciate it that you keep updating it after Slack updates break compatibility. <3

After installing required fonts and using the provided sub-interop.js, Slack app will start, but endlessly "spins". I suspect it could be due to font, but am not sure. Is there some information that I could provide that would help debug? (Mac OSX 10.13.6)

Ssb-interop.js doesn't exist anymore 🥺

I love this theme, but one issue I'm having is that I can't really tell when a channel has unread messages (but not a badge) - you can just barely tell it's bolded. Do you know which line I can change to make this text bolder/larger?

Latest slack update for Mac doesn't include path as specified in README. Slack has removed the src/ssb-interop.js.

https://github.com/caiceA/slack-black-theme/blob/master/ssb-interop.js#L131

this line causes all names to be capitalized, which ignores usernames that are lowercase.
is this a stylistic choice? i change this line every time i update manually.

Thanks for the theme! I love everything exept the font

I had this installed, and an update to slack was installed (bringing me to 4.0) afterwards the src dir was gone. I had to download slack 3.4.2 to reinstall the theme. An install update may be needed.

Some other themes pull directly from their repo url as a form of autoupdate. I know you edit the js file more than most, but is this still possible?

The "Mark as Read" button on the "All Unreads" view has very low contrast until you hover.

Hover

Great work thus far, thank you for actively maintaining this.

Create a post, with a code block. Pin it to the channel. Then open that post in the sidebar. This is what I see after updating your theme today:

Edit: Noticed the white-on-white appears in the sidebar and the inline preview if you view a post right in the chat thread after posting it.

PS: thank you for maintaining this theme! I like it much better than the one by Widget- and various forks of it.

Hi @caiceA,

Thanks for making this. I love the theme. My only small nitpick is that I'd like a more traditional font for the text of the actual messages people type. Can you recommend an alternative font that fits the bill, and the CSS selector I'd need to change?

Thanks!
