Path of index.js on Win 10
Thanks for this very cool theme! You may wish to include this on the readme page: the path to the index.js file is tricky to find on Win 10:
C:\ProgramData\<username>\slack\app-2.9.0\resources\app.asar.unpacked\src\static\index.js
Do you know if there's an environment variable that gets the C:\ProgramData\<username> folder?
Or more specifically, does echo %APPDATA% give you that folder? Afaik it's been C:\Users\<user>\AppData up until now. Do you have something installed that's freezing or otherwise managing your user folder?
Also, are you on the new Creator's Fall update? I'm not if MS is moving stuff around all of a sudden.
Thanks for your reply. I'm on 1703 OS Build 15063.726 version of Win 10. echo %APPDATA% gives me this:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming
And that location doesn't have the installation; it does have some Slack files, but not the JS file we need to edit. I'm on a domain PC that has group policy but I'm also admin on this box.
Was reading up on the ProgramData folder in Win 10: https://www.howtogeek.com/278562/what-is-the-programdata-folder-in-windows/. Apparently, “this folder is used for application data that is not user specific”.
echo "%LOCALAPPDATA%\slack"
Hi ! I have installed slack for Winodws 10 from microsoft Store. I can't find that path to index.js ... There is no such path as "C:\ProgramData<username>\slack\app-2.9.0\resources\app.asar.unpacked\src\static\index.js" on my computer.
echo "%LOCALAPPDATA%\slack" gives me path like this : C:\Users<userName>\AppData\Local\slack but there is no directory slack in that location ...
I'm using Windows 10 Pro 1709 (compilation nr 16299.309). I'm also admin on that machine. Slack version from microsoft Store is "Windows Store 3.1.0. 64-bit (Blackstar)" Can someone help me find that file ?
Am I even able to get access to that file if I installed slack from Microsoft store ?
I am also struggling to find where Slack is installed on Windows 10 to get a Dark Theme going.
You just have to open the Windows Task Manager, find the Slack process, and right click on it to open file location. The path is something like C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\91750D7E.Slack_3.4.3.0_x64__8she8kybcnzg4\
