Chat box background is still staying in white v3.2.0

[khanhletv]

Hi there,

I have applied some sample color schema but the chat box background still stay in white.

Thanks and regards,

[jhollowed]

Currently experiencing the same issue :( Slack version 3.2.1 on Ubuntu 16.04

[MalPr0c3ss]

Same here...

Win 10 Pro x64 ver. 10.0.17134

[Blizzardo1]

I'm also experiencing this.

@Nockiro has fixed this in this PR: https://github.com/widget-/slack-black-theme/pull/60

[khanhletv]

Thank you, I will try and let you know once it was fixed.

[intere]

@khanhletv - it is fixed, you have to (temporarily) reference https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Nockiro/slack-black-theme/3ea2efdfb96ccc91549837ab237d57104181bbf8/custom.css instead of the css that's currently in master. Once that PR gets merged into master, it will be fixed.

[khanhletv]

@intere yep, it works perfectly. Thanks for helping me out and this issue should be closed for now.

referencing the alternative css url given above by @intere had no change for me on Ubuntu 16.04

Thank you so much! Verified working on MacOS Mojave, Slack version 3.3.3!

[mingrammer]

It works for me too

[josephtoles]

This fix works on Linux running Slack version 3.3.3.

This fix makes all colors from the Jenkins bot turn to black. They used to be various colors based upon the status of the Jenkins job (Green for success, red for failed, etc)...

[Nockiro]

Hi @monkpit, I didn't continue with the pull request here as slack 3.3 needed other fixes and I didn't want to open a new pull request with the old one not merged yet. Despite that, I continued to adjust the theme on my fork - including the mentioned colors, if you try https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Nockiro/slack-black-theme/master/custom.css, the colors should work correctly.

Hi @Nockiro, I linked to the CSS on your fork and noticed that if you edit a message from within a thread, the textbox doesn't have the dark background.

[Nockiro]

Hi @harveymonster, thanks for the hint! Fixed it and gave it the same background the standard edit inputs have, the elevated background.

[mark-bixler]

Confirmed this works on Mojave, Slack 3.3.6.

If you're having issues on Mojave, verify the way you're editing your index.js & ssb-interop.js files.

I originally was using vscode to edit, copy and paste and didn't realize formatting was all jacked up.

I ended up using textmate to copy and paste css and it works great now!

There is still a white box appearing at the top in All Unreads and All Threads.

[CliffWheadon]

@kyub That appears to be gone if you switch to using the most recent css from Nockiro's fork: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Nockiro/slack-black-theme/master/custom.css

This works on MacOS Mojave 10.14.2. Thanks.

[harveymonster]

Hey @Nockiro, I'm assuming slack has made a layout change around threads recently because the reply box in a thread is no longer dark.

Also, I noticed that if you are a part of a slack team where the admin has limited who can post to the "general" channel the message that replaces the textbox to type a message is still light.

[Nockiro]

Hi @harveymonster, thanks for noticing! Fixed both (and with it a few other things in the process).

[dchaid]

Feeling dumb. I'm using https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Nockiro/slack-black-theme/master/custom.css but my theme is still very, very white.

[Nockiro]

In the file you attached it seems like you added the code somehow nested and twice? That impacts the result, you have to use the code specified in the Readme from line 100 in your case.

[edswangren]

Not working at all for me, Win10 slack 3.3.6

The master version has the white message area and it seems like neither of the new css links in this thread are being loaded.

index.txt ssb-interop.txt

[jhollowed]

I've tried many times over the past few months, and none of the solutions here work for me either on Ubuntu 16.04, Slack 3.3.3. Why can't this finally be fixed in master? It literally makes the dark theme not dark

[iniquityx2]

Confirmed this works on Slack 3.3.7 64 windows 10

[edswangren]

Working for me after moving to 3.3.7 as well. No idea.

[mB-PiBox]

Not able to get this to work on Slack 3.3.8

• List of "Chats" far left is black; but channel list and chat are not effected by styling.

[iniquityx2]

Worked for me just fine on 3.3.8 - Windows 10 x64

[bison92]

@iniquityx2 please tell us what you had to do ??

[iniquityx2]

nothing other than going into the new folder location \slack\app-3.3.8\resources\app.asar.unpacked\src\static\index.js and and ssb-interop.js and inserting the section from the main help on this repo.

I did of course have to put in the modified css https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Nockiro/slack-black-theme/3ea2efdfb96ccc91549837ab237d57104181bbf8/custom.css

This has worked on two different windows 10 x64 machines without issue

[Snowflake6]

Odd. This worked fine for me on 3.3.7, but on 3.3.8 i'm back to getting a white message area with black text. Both with the stock section from the readme.md and with the modified css that @iniquityx2 mentions. Same result.

[Snowflake6]

Gah. And now, after four re-starts, it starts working. No change to the code. I guess there's some cache-ing going on somewhere?

[iniquityx2]

Glad it started working for you all. Was starting to wonder if I should post my configs.

I didn't experience the delay on getting it to work though there was about 5 seconds where it was the normal theme and then it switched over

[Snowflake6]

And now Windows is offering an update, so maybe it was running slow for some reason as well while the update was downloading. In any case, seems to be working after a short delay.

[iniquityx2]

Still working on Slack 3.40
