[MOD][THEME] WhatsApp desktop dark mode

[sberk]

@m4heshd
I was finally able to get it to run by making a really small code change.
at https://github.com/m4heshd/whatsapp-desktop-dark/blob/master/run-darwin.js#L37
I changed the default psargs from 'lx' to 'ax' to get other users' processes as well as your own.
I'm not entirely sure why whatsapp is running under a different user

ps.lookup({
command: execPath,
psargs: 'ax'
}

OMG i never cared about the args because i was always thinking in favor of Windows since WMIC doesn't take args. I'm really glad you brought this to light and able to fix it. It'll be really great if you can open an issue on Github with this issue so maybe i can include this as an update in the next release. Cheers. :good:

It requires the desktop application so won't run on Win 7, right?

Hi @Krusade, I haven't done any testing but I'm pretty sure it can run on Windows 7.

Genuine doubt - Unsure if whatsapp desktop can run on win 7, its win 8+ iirc (dont want to sound like a ****)

It'll never hurt to try. WhatsApp is Electron based and I've done countless Electron projects which managed to run on Windows 7 perfectly. I think they're talking about the Microsoft store version. Give it a try.

Hi, I am glad I found out about WhatsApp dark theme, however this is what I get - enclosed picture - when trying to apply dark theme.
I had it running before running the script. Ran as admin.
But nothing is happening. Any idea please?

Hi @tLustej.miCin,
As mentioned in the documentation, this won't work with the store version of WhatsApp. You need to install the direct downloaded setup version of WhatsApp desktop.

Working on the update. Will release soon. Meanwhile you can still use the old version.

New version work

The updated (Whatsapp 0.3.4482) already patched with your "old" version, runs without any error or glitches (can't post the image, the 'ten own posts limit' stopps me). Great work, thanks.

Thanks for confirming this. I'm unable to get to my PC for one more day and i was afraid if the update has broken dark mode. Cheers.

Old patch isn't working for me on new version ?

Edit : My Bad ! It works ! Just make sure you erase previous backup !
