I like it @neale! :smiley:

Thanks for sharing great article. I found the article useful for taking screenshot using snipping tool mac.

Hey guys! I am new to Mattermost and to these forums, but as soon I found out about you and deployed my Mattermost server I fell in love with it. I was using Discord before and I am really used to the colors of Discord’s dark theme. So I adapted the theme to Mattermost and now it is perfect for me! So I want to share it with you guys:

mm_discord

{
  "sidebarBg":"#2F3136",
  "sidebarText":"#9ca0a4",
  "sidebarUnreadText":"#ffffff",
  "sidebarTextHoverBg":"#42464D",
  "sidebarTextActiveBorder":"#42464D",
  "sidebarTextActiveColor":"#ffffff",
  "sidebarHeaderBg":"#282B30",
  "sidebarHeaderTextColor":"#ffffff",
  "onlineIndicator":"#43B581",
  "awayIndicator":"#FAA61A",
  "mentionBj":"#F04747",
  "mentionColor":"#ffffff",
  "centerChannelBg":"#36393E",
  "centerChannelColor":"#C0C1C2",
  "newMessageSeparator":"#CB4445",
  "linkColor":"#7289DA",
  "buttonBg":"#7289DA",
  "buttonColor":"#ffffff",
  "mentionHighlightBg":"#3D414E",
  "mentionHighlightLink":"#7289DA",
  "codeTheme":"monokai"
}

Ofcourse it’s not 1:1 because it didn’t look good with the original colors so I had to do some minor modifications and now everything is readable. Hope you like it as I do!

this code does not work in Mattermost. every other posted code here worked

Not sure the issue, but I pasted the values into a working config, and levimluke’s theme should work now.

Reason it doesn’t work is special character quotes, commonly caused by Microsoft text processing products.
