slackIRC

Inspired by Slack IRC Layout, which sadly no longer works. Installation methods inspired by @laCour in this discussion.

Installation

Browser

Install a user styles extension for your browser and add the contents of style.css as a new user style applied to slack.com

Desktop

It's hacky, but it works. Note that you will have to redo this every time Slack updates.

⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ This will request the compiled CSS file from this repository. You are strongly discouraged from using a remote CSS file that is not under your control. It's recommended that you create your own copy. An XSS attack could put your Slack client at risk.

Automatic

Run ./install.sh in your terminal.

Manual

Edit the file ssb-interop.js inside the Slack app. For example:

• macOS: /Applications/Slack.app/Contents/Resources/app.asar.unpacked/src/static/ssb-interop.js

• Linux: /usr/lib/slack/resources/app.asar.unpacked/src/static/ssb-interop.js

Add the following chunk of code to the bottom of this file:

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
  $.ajax({
    url: 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lvarado/slackIRC/master/style.css',
    success: function(css) {
      $("<style></style>").appendTo('head').html(css);
    }
  });
});

Quit and restart Slack, or press CMD/CTRL+R to reload
