Discord is enjoyable. Slack normally is not. I’m not saying Slack would not attempt to be enjoyable, because it does—all the in-app copy reads like a comedy routine, for instance—however that does not disguise that, at its core, Slack is a piece app and Discord is an app for hanging out with your pals.
It is smart, then, {that a} longtime Discord consumer pressured to use Slack for one purpose or one other would possibly really feel that all the things is greater than slightly boring. I can not change this core actuality, sadly, however this is just a few suggestions for making Slack really feel just a bit bit extra Discord-like.
Switch to Dark Mode
First issues first: We want to make Slack darker. Click your profile image within the high proper nook, then click on Preferences. From right here, head to Themes and choose Dark. Alternatively, should you’re the type of one who switches again and forth between the systemwide darkish and mild schemes, you may choose to have Slack respect that setting.
This is not good—Slack’s darkish theme is overwhelmingly black whereas Discord’s darkish theme has shades of grey. Still, should you’re used to Discord that is going to really feel much more comfy.
Add the Discord Color Schemes
While you are setting Slack to Dark Mode, I extremely suggest you additionally edit your sidebar theme. Scroll down from the Dark Mode settings and you may discover a wide range of themes to select from, in addition to the flexibility to create a customized theme. I spent a while copying Discord’s precise colour scheme. Here are the codes, which you’ll be able to paste into Slack:
#303136,#121016,#43464d,#bababd,#3d3f45,#97989d,#5aa364,#e384ad,#303136,#97989d
