Theme not working with Slack 3.4.0

[jenstroeger]

Not sure if this is a macOS (Mojave) issue only or a general issue with Slack 3.3.8. After updating Slack yesterday and editing the files, the stylesheet seems to work only partially here or there.

Until the update, the dark theme has worked just fine on Mojave for me.

Probably related: issue #74 and issue #78, but perhaps try this comment which worked for me.

Hey Jen, just letting you know that Mac Mojave actually supports a native dark mode using a force flag. Check it out! Or don't, that's okay too.

I must've been confused when I made this, as I can't find any reference to this online. Maybe I was thinking of the app? Sorry for any confusion!

I have encountered the same or similar problem. The main chat remains black text on a white background. Threads have black backgrounds but the text stays black as well, making it unreadable.

I am on Windows 10, running Slack 3.3.8.

Restarting and changing workspaces has not resolved the issue.

Still white background in conversation window. (Slack 3.3.8)

Same problem in Win10

Aya, even worse with 3.4.0 (updating the title of this issue…)

@Sharpienero, how does that work?

Alternatively to force dark mode you can overwrite the 3.4.0 not working ssb-interlop file with the last working ssb-interlop file, it worked for me.

3.4.0 works fine on Win10 if you copy the index.js and ssb-interop.js files over from the 3.3.8 folder.

Changing the title confuses the issue, actually, as many of the replies above referred to 3.3.8.

If you check https://mallowigi.github.io/slack-one-dark-theme/ there are additional CSS options that you need to set. This fixed the issue for me in 3.4.

Amazing!! Thanks

As I'm not sure if this will ever receive an update, there are other forks available, such as: https://github.com/Nockiro/slack-black-theme

@Sharpienero care to elaborate on this? I'd like to get this set up.

Would it be possible to not have text and some other elements hardcoded to #aaa. When customizing the theme it makes some text and elements difficult to read if you're not going all dark. For example, I'm making a Nord inspired theme but can't override certain things like timestamps, last replies, channel sorting etc.

I would have a go at this myself but I suck with CSS.

Has anyone got this to work in 3.4.2?

Edit: Somehow got it to work after I downgrade to 3.4.0 then upgrade to 3.4.2 works after I apply the patch.
