Slack Mac App White Screen

Much to the relief of night owls everywhere, Slack has finally released a dark mode for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Here's how to banish the white background, and head over to the dark.

Hmmm, I cannot share screen in Bluejeans nor in Zoom but this did not work for me – when I get to step 6 I don’t see ANY apps in the right menu, it’s empty (and I have Skype, BJ, Zoom installed and updated on may Mac). In Step 7 Activity Monitor did not have “NetAuthAgent” process so I am stuck. Thanks for your advice, Andrei.

Open the Slack desktop app, then click Help in your computer's top menu bar. (If you’re on Windows 10, click the ☰ three lines icon in the top left of the Slack app.) Select Troubleshooting, then click Restart and Collect Net Logs.The app will restart. Once it does, you’ll see a pop-up window with the message Your log is in progress.; Use Slack as you usually would. Open Slack if it isn't open (you will get the black screen, that's ok) Open Task Manager. Click 'More Details' in the lower status bar. Under Apps you will see Slack (#) If you have Slack closed, it would be under Background processes. Opening it just brings it to the top of the list, making it easier to find. Right click Slack, and choose End Task. Whether you just bought your first Mac or you’re a longtime Apple customer, here’s a look at some of the best Mac Apps for 2021. Select any app from the list below for a full breakdown of what.

Slack has noted that you must be updated to version 4.0, and that you may need to restart the app a few times before the effects take place. All the old slack sidebar themes remain as well, but have been updated to work better with the new dark mode.

Dark mode is especially useful for those who work in low light or late at night. It is also beneficial to users with certain types of visual impairments.

In March of 2019, Slack released a dark mode for their iOS and Android apps, but tweeted 'Dark mode isn't available on our desktop app right now, but we're working on it. Stay tuned for a brighter, darker future.'

Six months later, Slack has finally given users the option to opt in to dark mode, should they want it. Responses from the community trend overwhelmingly positive.

SO! Finally! Here we have it: For those who need it, who want it, who have asked for it or who could just use it occasionally — dark mode is now available on the desktop app as well as mobile, for everyone. Read more: https://t.co/2KXjYlDWkUpic.twitter.com/OKZ0NfqybK

Slack has also stated that in the near future users will be able to set Slack to comply with operating settings by clicking 'sync with OS settings,' but wished to roll out the dark mode update as soon as possible.
