I was rather displeased with the built in color scheme on a dark background, so I changed it to a nice purple and removed the underline: (set-face-attribute 'slack-message-output-header nil :foreground "#C080FF" :underline nil) Binding slack-select-unread-rooms to something useful is a good choice. I have it bound to M-T. If your users have avatars in their usernames, makes them go away in the source of slack-user-message.el in slack-message-sender with - (status (slack-user-status (slack-message-sender-id m) team)) + (status "") I found people with stuff in their statuses made room names distracting, especially with group chats In slack-im.el, in slack-room-display-name, - (format "%s %s" - (slack-room-name room) - status)) + (format "%s" (slack-room-name room)) I am not good enough at Elisp to figure out how to make these hooks and I've been a bad open source person at opening an issue on these.
