[ALTERNATIVE FORK] Stopped working on version 0.4.2080 for Windows / 0.4.2081 for macOS

Felluz commented 4 years ago

I opened the app this morning and saw that it was back to the default theme, then I unzipped the files to apply the dark theme, after completing that was the result. I've tried all themes but none work, it stays the same. 8v6hu2ojrQ

UnderEu commented 4 years ago

Are you able to switch themes on-the-fly w/ the switcher button, next to your profile photo?

Felluz commented 4 years ago

no, the button disappeared as you can see in the screenshot.

BerkayDrsn commented 4 years ago

Also broken for me since this morning, presumably due to latest WhatsApp update. (macOS Catalina)

iambudi commented 4 years ago

Broken in Catalina as well.

SixSiege commented 4 years ago

Same here (version 0.4.2081)

Reycho commented 4 years ago

Same here (Windows 10) But mines worse.

UnderEu commented 4 years ago

WORKAROUND: The following attachment enables the official dark theme as a temporary replacement. Replace the index.html files on the following path with the provided one:

0.4.2080-Workaround.zip Windows: WADark-Windows > styles > win32 macOS: WADark-macOS > styles > darwin

Apply using the "default" theme on the GUI installer.

mubashir-rehman commented 4 years ago

btw how did you blurred those parts??

UnderEu commented 4 years ago

By using any image editor such as Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, Pixelmator etc.

Alessandro3840 commented 4 years ago

I confirm it stopped working also on macOS

sorino8 commented 4 years ago

worked for me. thanks man. nice workaround until author releases new version.

Joelius300 commented 4 years ago

Can confirm that it stopped working on Windows 10. Reinstalling (both whatsapp and the dark theme) didn't help.

Can also confirm that the workaround by @UnderEu works.

syntaxer commented 4 years ago

Worked, thanks

ghost commented 4 years ago

Pls help. Applied this fix, set to default, changed to deep black; whatsapp not starting anymore. Does this fix only apply for the default? And how do I get my Whatsapp back for now?

EDIT: Just launched the WhatsAppSetup.exe again. Fixed it, also WAdark default working properly. Just not so sure if I should try anything but the default right now.

Ga1aga commented 4 years ago

Can confirm the Workaround works, thank you!

devmisa commented 4 years ago

Worked, thx !

gabrielclow commented 4 years ago

The workaround provided by @UnderEu did not work correctly here for some reason, but what I did for now was go into %localappdata%\WhatsApp\app-0.4.1307 and ran the older version I had already installed WADark from there.

UnderEu commented 4 years ago

Only the official dark theme (default) is working, every other there is broken. We have to stick with that, for now.

Eventually, your instance will self update and breaks over and over again. So... your mileage will vary.

SixSiege commented 4 years ago

Worked, Thanks for the workaround!

holymode commented 4 years ago

Another work around is deleting the newest update. Go to C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\WhatsApp and delete the most recent app-0.4.xxxx, old version should still be there.

shafwan7 commented 4 years ago

Work for Win10 v1909. and still waiting for Dev to update all those things.

nayefc commented 4 years ago

Many people are watching this issue for a real fix (or for real issues with this workaround). There is no need to post yet another "works!" comment. We all know it works by now.

TOAOQ commented 4 years ago

Needed to apply this workaround on a clean install to get it working.

ekiscrim commented 4 years ago

Yep, applied on a clean install this workaround works.

Troper211 commented 4 years ago

it works, thanks

mechanizzed commented 4 years ago

Works!

Please, update readme with this fix.

iambudi commented 4 years ago

I can't get it work on catalina, partial color change only. Whatsapp Version 0.4.2081.

UnderEu commented 4 years ago

It isn't a fix, it's a workaround. The proper fix who covers every provided theme will be pushed whenever it's fixed.

ozzysp commented 4 years ago

Thank to this workaround, the Dark Theme is back again!!! Thank you, friends!

UnderEu commented 4 years ago

It looks like, even with this workaround, some elements are broken: Emoji picker and message quotes, i.e.. Also, we're aware there's a new client update being pushed (0.4.2088) and the same issues remain. The dev team is working on those and they'll release the proper fixes whenever possible. Please, be patient.

AhmadChaiban commented 4 years ago

Can Confirm, Worked for me as well. Thank you <3

ronny332 commented 4 years ago

The workaround works partially on my macOS installation (WA version 0.4.2088). The button for theme switching isn't reachable. A click on it results in navigating to the status updates. But, at least, it works very well and everything is in beautiful black again ;).

eliveltonsales commented 4 years ago

Tested, working at v0.4.2088 W10

sudhxnva commented 4 years ago

Works! Thanks!

alexandrerochasalles commented 4 years ago

Still working on macOS 0.4.2088 version!!

marco-prolo commented 4 years ago

Works on Catalina! Sadly the button to switch between light and dark mode isn't there anymore. Am I missing something or does the fix not fix that in particular?

feliperaimo commented 4 years ago

Thanks! Done!

lowlabs commented 4 years ago

Applied defaut theme with index.html from workaround, but there's a greenish tint. Looking at the colors in the default theme I don't think it's supposed to be this way... or is it?

facosta0787 commented 4 years ago

IS there any option to use other color schema with this workaround ?

parresoft9 commented 4 years ago

apply and working, well done

UnderEu commented 4 years ago

No

olucasmac commented 4 years ago

Works here! Thanks! ;) WA 0.4.2088 | MacOS Catalina

jontzi commented 4 years ago

working! thanks! WA 0.4.2088 | Win 10

roi007leaf commented 4 years ago

WhatsApp Dark works with this as well

piraterex commented 4 years ago

see here...now its easier than ever

UnderEu commented 4 years ago

Essentially, it's the same thing this tool does, except for the additional themes. If people are interested in the official dark theme and only it, feel free to use it.

ThexXTURBOXx commented 4 years ago

Workaround works pretty well on Windows 10, 0.4.2088, except: When you double click a text message, it will stay in a unreadable color (even when the respond message is already sent).

Edit: Seems to be fixed in WhatsApp release 2.2017.6 on WIndows. The workaround had nothing to do with it.

sayanlp99 commented 4 years ago

Worked for me on Windows 10

crcoronado commented 4 years ago

For me is working in Windows 10 and WP version 2.2017.6.

Please remember not only to replace the index.html file but also reinstall by running WADark.exe as Administrator.

eyadsibai commented 4 years ago

why don't you make a new release ?
