# Slack Dark Theme
As many of you who follow what I do will know, I like things dark. I don't like the white glare of a computer screen.
I am sure at least some of you use [Slack](http://www.slack.com) for your work communications? If not I strongly recommend you check it out.
The only down-side is it doesn't yet have a dark theme. So looking around the internet I found plenty of ways to do it by just editing the [Electron](https://electron.atom.io/) app javascript files and injecting a custom css sheet.
So, in order to do this now before Slack officially supports it, do the following:
- Press <kbd>Ctrl + R</kbd> to open `Run...` in Windows
- Type `%LOCALAPPDATA%` and press <kbd>Enter</kbd> to open your current users `AppData` folder, such as `C:\Users\luke\AppData\Local`
- Go into `slack\app-2.x.x\resources\app.asar.unpacked\src\static` and open the **ssb-interop.js** file
- Add the following to the end of the **ssb-interop.js** file
```
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
$.ajax({
url: 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/angelsix/youtube/develop/Windows%2010%20Dark%20Theme/Slack/slack-dark.css',
success: function(css) {
$("<style></style>").appendTo('head').html(css);
}
});
});
```
- Now close Slack (including in the Taskbar)

- Restart Slack to see the lovely new dark theme :smiley:
