[ALTERNATIVE FORK] Stopped working on version 0.4.2080 for Windows / 0.4.2081 for macOS

I opened the app this morning and saw that it was back to the default theme, then I unzipped the files to apply the dark theme, after completing that was the result. I've tried all themes but none work, it stays the same. 8v6hu2ojrQ

Are you able to switch themes on-the-fly w/ the switcher button, next to your profile photo?

Mar 27 '20 00:03 UnderEu

no, the button disappeared as you can see in the screenshot.

Also broken for me since this morning, presumably due to latest WhatsApp update. (macOS Catalina)

Mar 27 '20 04:03 BerkayDrsn

Broken in Catalina as well.

Mar 27 '20 06:03 iambudi

Same here (version 0.4.2081)

Mar 27 '20 08:03 SixSiege

Same here (Windows 10) But mines worse.

WORKAROUND: The following attachment enables the official dark theme as a temporary replacement. Replace the index.html files on the following path with the provided one:

0.4.2080-Workaround.zip Windows: WADark-Windows > styles > win32 macOS: WADark-macOS > styles > darwin

Apply using the "default" theme on the GUI installer.

Mar 27 '20 15:03 UnderEu

btw how did you blurred those parts??

Mar 27 '20 15:03 mubashir-rehman

By using any image editor such as Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, Pixelmator etc.

Mar 27 '20 16:03 UnderEu

I confirm it stopped working also on macOS

Mar 27 '20 16:03 Alessandro3840

worked for me. thanks man. nice workaround until author releases new version.

Mar 27 '20 16:03 sorino8

Can confirm that it stopped working on Windows 10. Reinstalling (both whatsapp and the dark theme) didn't help.

Can also confirm that the workaround by @UnderEu works.

Mar 27 '20 18:03 Joelius300

Worked, thanks

Pls help. Applied this fix, set to default, changed to deep black; whatsapp not starting anymore. Does this fix only apply for the default? And how do I get my Whatsapp back for now?

EDIT: Just launched the WhatsAppSetup.exe again. Fixed it, also WAdark default working properly. Just not so sure if I should try anything but the default right now.

Mar 27 '20 19:03 ghost

Can confirm the Workaround works, thank you!

Mar 27 '20 20:03 Ga1aga

Worked, thx !

The workaround provided by @UnderEu did not work correctly here for some reason, but what I did for now was go into %localappdata%\WhatsApp\app-0.4.1307 and ran the older version I had already installed WADark from there.

Mar 27 '20 21:03 gabrielclow

Only the official dark theme (default) is working, every other there is broken. We have to stick with that, for now.

Eventually, your instance will self update and breaks over and over again. So... your mileage will vary.

Mar 27 '20 22:03 UnderEu

Worked, Thanks for the workaround!

Mar 27 '20 23:03 SixSiege

Another work around is deleting the newest update. Go to C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\WhatsApp and delete the most recent app-0.4.xxxx, old version should still be there.

Mar 28 '20 02:03 holymode

Work for Win10 v1909. and still waiting for Dev to update all those things.

Mar 28 '20 11:03 shafwan7

Many people are watching this issue for a real fix (or for real issues with this workaround). There is no need to post yet another "works!" comment. We all know it works by now.

Mar 28 '20 11:03 nayefc

Needed to apply this workaround on a clean install to get it working.

Mar 30 '20 09:03 TOAOQ

Yep, applied on a clean install this workaround works.

Mar 30 '20 17:03 ekiscrim

it works, thanks

Mar 30 '20 19:03 Troper211

Works!

Please, update readme with this fix.

Mar 31 '20 12:03 mechanizzed

I can't get it work on catalina, partial color change only. Whatsapp Version 0.4.2081.

Mar 31 '20 13:03 iambudi

It isn't a fix, it's a workaround. The proper fix who covers every provided theme will be pushed whenever it's fixed.

Mar 31 '20 16:03 UnderEu

Thank to this workaround, the Dark Theme is back again!!! Thank you, friends!

Mar 31 '20 22:03 ozzysp

It looks like, even with this workaround, some elements are broken: Emoji picker and message quotes, i.e.. Also, we're aware there's a new client update being pushed (0.4.2088) and the same issues remain. The dev team is working on those and they'll release the proper fixes whenever possible. Please, be patient.
