A Command-Line Tool for changing Slack's desktop app colors, like

This is still a work in progress. The css still needs some tweaks, but it works well enough for me for daily use...

To download and install, run the following code in your terminal:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mykeels/slack-theme-cli/master/slack-theme -O && bash slack-theme install && . ~/.profile

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/0xa08ab242/slack-theme-cli/master/slack-theme -O && bash slack-theme install && . ~/.bash_profile

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mykeels/slack-theme-cli/master/slack-theme -O && sudo bash ./slack-theme install && SILENT="$(source ~/.profile)"

If you use zsh as your shell environment, you might want to run this instead:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mykeels/slack-theme-cli/master/slack-theme -O && SLACK_THEME_SHELL_PROFILE=~/.zshrc bash slack-theme install && . ~/.zshrc

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mykeels/slack-theme-cli/master/slack-theme -O && sudo SLACK_THEME_SHELL_PROFILE=~/.zshrc bash ./slack-theme install && SILENT="$(source ~/.zshrc)"

See command break-down below:

I setup a workaround based off of slack-dark-mode.sh in https://github.com/LanikSJ/slack-dark-mode. With slack not running, I followed the steps in the script to unpack the files, then I updates the slack-theme file paths to use the new file paths and file name before executing it as described above, then I followed the steps in the script to re-package the files. Lastly, I started slack, and the desired theme was once again working.

since Slack finally pushed out a working dark mode (as of Slack 4.0.3), though I would not have picked the color scheme they chose, it is usable, so I will not likely be making any more updates to my branch
