Slack Dark Theme

A dark Slack theme based on Visual Studio's dark theme that's an easy install for Windows users!

Install

No need for downloading or editing files by hand! On Windows with Slack already installed, open a command prompt and run this command:

PowerShell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "Invoke-Expression "$(Invoke-WebRequest https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marchica/slack-black-theme/master/src/ps/scripts.ps1 -UseBasicParsing); Install-SlackPatch""

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 command every time Slack updates. If the theme is gone, then it's time to run the command above again.

Uninstall

Run the command below and ctrl-R in Slack. Or reinstall Slack.

PowerShell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command "Invoke-Expression "$(Invoke-WebRequest https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marchica/slack-black-theme/master/src/ps/scripts.ps1 -UseBasicParsing); Uninstall-SlackPatch""
