The domain &#x27;blog.lacour.me&#x27; doesn&#x27;t resolve for me:<p>Your name servers seem to be ns[1-5].he.net, and ns1.he.net doesn&#x27;t know what blog.lacour.me is:<p><pre><code> &gt; blog.lacour.me Server: ns1.he.net Address: 216.218.130.2 *** No address (A) records available for blog.lacour.me</code></pre>

What ever happened to consistent, cross-application look-and-feel? I don&#x27;t want each application defining its own style which clashes with every other application. We already have things like Qt and GTK themes for the desktop, but the web is just a mess in that regard. I really hope to see some eventual solution.<p>Mozilla&#x27;s &quot;Reader View&quot; is a fantastic step towards establishing a consistent (and user-configurable) look-and-feel across the web. But its domain is still very narrow and wouldn&#x27;t apply to Slack, unfortunately. Yet it&#x27;s the only product I know of that&#x27;s even working towards this kind of goal.

Really nice hack. Unrelated, by I checked out your startup <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hund.io" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;hund.io</a>. My question is... Why not just use <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;StatusPage.io" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;StatusPage.io</a>? They are launched, funded, refined, and the de-facto standard. What is your value prop?

I&#x27;m on Linux with Xfce. I have tried and failed to get a dark theme working. It&#x27;s difficult to match across toolkits.<p>I&#x27;ve had web browsers that default to white screen flashing on new tabs, and most don&#x27;t respect your native theme.<p>My current workaround]in Firefox is to disable background images, set default foreground&#x2F;background and link colours. Set a default font, and ensure font sizes don&#x27;t fall below a certain size.<p>Some text inputs have a dark background and a dark font. Which makes things very difficult. I&#x27;m typing blind.<p>Another issue is that many designs use background images where you would expect foreground placement. For example Instagram doesn&#x27;t work for me. Slack is usable, but some image previews are lost. Other sites that rely upon imagery for navigation can pose a problem. The compose window in Gmail, I have to use mystery meat navigation to work out each button&#x27;s function. Which is quite poor.<p>I&#x27;ve tried setting my own stylesheets in browsers where you can, but it&#x27;s easy to break layouts.<p>Obviously accessibility is still overlooked by many site designers.<p>I also don&#x27;t like being stuck in one browser, so a better cross application solution is preferable, rather than site specific fixes.

OP: Did you try this on Mac? I&#x27;m pretty sure Electron is only being used on Windows and Linux unless they recently made the switch..

So when can we expect the first Slack exploits abusing the slack protocol handler and the js evaluation function? :)

Slightly aside, but is there any evidence that the warmth of the light effects sleep? The cited paper compares a light emitting device to a book, which would not be the same as f.lux and this.<p>Not trying to dismiss this. I&#x27;d genuinely like to know as I&#x27;m often on my computer late at night.

Cool hack, but an even better solution would be for Electron to support userstyles (and scripts). I won&#x27;t be surprised if we gradually standardize on Electron or something like it for cross-platform desktop apps, and it would be great for them to be as hackable as the web.

It is a Stylish theme for Slack in the browser.<p>Here is a link to the Github project: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;laCour&#x2F;slack-night-mode" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;laCour&#x2F;slack-night-mode</a><p>I wish the Slack App had a night theme..

I often use reverse colors on OSX. ctrl-alt-cmd-8. Since most pages have white backgrounds, this results in black backgrounds.<p>It&#x27;s also very nice that Flux is applied after this so I don&#x27;t get a dark blue screen.

I use a mix of stylish themes to achieve something similar, and hide Slack&#x27;s grating UI and default colors.
