Finally fulfilling a ~2013 request that is basically a style sheet. Better late than never I guess
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…
I've been using an unofficial Discord and Slack client called Ripcord for a while now. https://cancel.fm/ripcord/ It uses a dark theme by default, which is very appreciated. Another huge plus is that it's not Electron garbage like the official Slack and Discord clients, so you don't have to effectively run one or two other entire web browsers just to do a bit of chatting. On the other hand, it is Qt garbage instead,…
RIP IRC, which had the advantage of offering people the opportunity to use any client they like.
It sucks that the protocol is proprietary but there seems to be a reasonably healthy ecosystem of 3rd party Slack clients so that advantage isn’t totally gone. I find the wee-slack plugin for the WeeChat IRC client to be pretty good ( https://github.com/wee-slack/wee-slack )
Wonder how many trees this mode effectively saves. Google.com should have a darkmode soon I hope. :P

Does Slack screen-sharing work?
Funny that as Discord releases a light theme, Slack releases a dark theme. But in seriousness, does Slack really have any value proposition over Discord beyond Screen Hero these days? I switched my organization over to Discord based on the ability to create public channels for testers/customers to communicate with my team on the server without any role-based overhead (also because my target market is largely the Twit…
Discord doesn't have any integrations for Enterprise users, like SSO, retention policies, etc. Many large companies probably wouldn't be able to use it, not to mention we don't know what Discord is doing with the data (not that it is a bad chat tool, it's great, but only really useful for casual groups).
Earlier quoted context omitted.
You should try using dark mode extensions like DarkReader if you aren't already. I have it enabled on most sites and it works almost flawlessly. [0] https://darkreader.org/
I want to try it badly but it goes against most fibers of my being to give a 3rd party extension such crazy permissions: Access your data for all websites Access browser tabs
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.
So many of us are stuck in situations of bad fluorescent light or worse.
The biggest benefits of dark modes are on OLED screens, such as most "flagship" handheld computers these days. On a modern OLED, a black pixel may be entirely unlit, which entirely reduces the amount of light being fired at your retinas during your screen hours. It's also a small power savings when multiplied by lots of unlit pixels across a day.
But at the end of the day, it's also just aesthetic choice. Some people like the Batman approach of paint everything as black and dark as possible. It's okay for people to have a variety of tastes, and nice that "Dark Mode" frenzy has increased options across every platform (whether or not you think you want or need such options).

Do we know what Slack is doing with the data?
