For those maybe asking about accent color customization support, just insert RGB hex value, example from this website (need to select Y for custom accent first)

Here for example

You're most welcome and glad you're enjoying it. Does that bright colored title bar bother you? I just opened a poll right here to know whether if people prefer it darker. Give it a vote. I'll be deciding it on next release upon the scores.

Hi.. I am on latest WhatsApp windows version and latest WADark. But there's some issue. The theme is not getting properly applied. Please check the attachment. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling original WA and then retried WADark. But no luck. Wonder what am I missing here :rolleyes:

Like command prompt mention about custom theme, you can edit override.json and insert what you want (customize it!) and save. Make sure it same like original. (i mean don't forget #)

I use Deep Black from here and just change accent to Maroon.

Hello,

First of all, thanks for the dark theme, much appreciated. It was working just fine until Whatsapp updated to the latest version and now I get an error when trying to run the script. I uninstalled and reinstall whatsapp and confirmed I have the latest version of wadark as well. I am also using the Whatsapp version found here https://www.whatsapp.com/download/. I have included a screenshot. Thanks.

    I know this is not related to mobile but thought I'd share this here with everyone.

    I've been so sick of the eye burning light colored UI on WhatsApp desktop for so long and decided to come up with a dark mode myself. Here's a screenshot of the result.

    It was very satisfying and thought this is worth sharing. Made a little installer script for both Windows and macOS and published it as an open-source project.
    FYI, this is not a modded version of WhatsApp. It'll just modify the styling of your currently installed build of WhatsApp desktop. It's 100% safe and anybody's welcome to look through the source code and review.

    Downloads and Instructions :
    https://github.com/m4heshd/whatsapp-desktop-dark

    Please note that this script won't work with microsoft store or app store version of WhatsApp desktop

    Enjoy!!! :)

    WADark now supports the official dark mode

    As i reported earlier today, Official dark mode is out for WA Desktop.

    Good news for WADark users. I've just added support for the official dark theme in the latest source. Please build or re-install from the latest source and try switching between themes using the WADark switch button.

    Thank You so much ... Works perfectly and looks amazing !!!
    Can you remove the white squares around emojis if possible ?

    Hi @Liftedcorn,

    You're very welcome and thanks for trying this out.
    Unfortunately emojis on the emoji tab are loaded to a canvas from one big JPG with a white background. So it's not fixable at all. I've tried. Really sorry about that.
