What's the deal with dark modes? With glossy laptop screens they're 100% unreadable in good natural light conditions; even with a matte screen, they're pretty bad.
Having protanopia myself I'm very grateful for any piece of software that takes these issues seriously.
For those on Visual Studio Code: the slack themes are also available there, including the color blind themes.
Is dark mode a fashion thing or does it really helps with eye strain? In darker surroundings, I just lower the brightness.
I think it's a fashion thing with a thin veneer of eye strain reduction (since, AFAIK, there's little conclusive evidence dark mode matters here)

I'm more interested in if/when they will fix threads.

Sad news for custom emoji users. So many look bad now. In all seriousness though - I don't see why all apps/sites don't develop in a "dark mode" first mindset. With all the studies showing eye strain related health issues correlated to bright screens, you'd think this would be an easy solution to help alleviate the problem. Imagine writing your name in the sand on a beach by digging out all the area around the text t…
How is this sad news? - Its not a forced change. Don't do anything and emojis are fine. - Even if it was forced, is slack responsible for every possible customization?
