An easy user-togglable dark mode for Rocket.Chat

This repo was migrated for ease of collaboration from my gist which was a fork of chall8909's gist, to which this project is greatly indebted.

dark-mode-toggle.js creates and adds a click handler for a dark mode toggle button. This toggle button lives in the toolbar at the top of the left-hand sidebar:

And when dark mode is active:

dark-mode.css contains the styles which - y'know, make everything dark, like so:

Installation

NOTE: This repo aims to keep the dark mode working for the latest stable release of Rocket.Chat. Older versions may or may not work.

• For Rocket.Chat versions 3.2.2 - 3.3.3, use the code from the 3.2.2 branch.
• For Rocket.Chat versions 3.4.0 - 3.7.2, use the code from the 3.7.2 branch.
• For Rocket.Chat versions 3.8.0 - 3.9.1, use the code from the 3.9.1 branch.
• For Rocket.Chat versions 3.9.2 - 3.11.2, use the code from the 3.11.2 branch.
• For current latest stable release, use the code from the master branch.

If you want to "install" this dark mode, here's all you need to do:

1. Be an administrator of your Rocket.Chat instance, or send these instructions to one and pester them to do it for you
2. Go to the Administration panel > Layout
3. Copy the contents of dark-mode.css into Custom CSS
4. Copy the contents of dark-mode-toggle.js into Custom Scripts > Custom Script for Logged In Users
5. Refresh your local Rocket.Chat instance (a server restart is not required). You may need to clear your cache if using a web browser.
