A dark theme for Slack 4.0+ with an easy installer for Windows users!
On Windows with Slack 4.0+ already installed, download the latest exe and double click to run.
That's it! If Slack was open, then hit ctrl-R in Slack to refresh and check it out. 👀
Note: You'll need to run this exe every time Slack updates. If the theme is gone, then it's time to run the command above again.
If you double click to launch the exe, it will automatically run the install command. Here's some other commands you can use at the command line.

After running the installer, it will print out the location of a CSS file that you can modify and Slack will automatically reload your changes.
Exit Slack then run slack-patcher launchSlack to open Slack in developer mode. Then press ctrl-i to open Dev Tools.
If you want to help test the latest fixes, run slack-patcher install --devBranch to use the CSS from the dev branch.
Pull requests for fixes or custom themes are welcome!
git clone the project and cd into it.
Run npm i for the initial install and then run gulp which will launch Slack in dev mode, and watch the files to rebuild and copy them to your Slack install.
Then run slackpatcher install --devMode to patch Slack for development.
Write some code and then send me a pull request to the dev branch!
