Slack

Mind Map

Revert to classic Slack

I was able to run it on the Mac app but it's only temporary, it reverts next time I open Slack:

Close the Slack app
Open the terminal and run these two commands separately

export SLACK_DEVELOPER_MENU=true
# or 
SLACK_DEVELOPER_MENU=true /Applications/Slack.app/Contents/MacOS/Slack

Slack will open with the new theme but now we have access to its console

open /Applications/Slack.app

Open Slack's developer console by pressing command + option + I
Run this in Slack’s chrome developer console command - thank you Electron chromium wrapper to deliver apps and access web storage commands.

localStorage.setItem("localConfig_v2", localStorage.getItem("localConfig_v2").replace(/\"is_unified_user_client_enabled\":true/g, '\"is_unified_user_client_enabled\":false'))

Restart slack with command + R

Disable Slack updates

Just disable this host on your firewall to never connect to their subdomain for checking updates.
