The Slack thing is a feature. Each org can have their own theme. Don't understand why it's desirable that everything has the OS theme. Some people spend 8 hours per day in Slack. Having it look a bit unfamiliar the first time you boot it up is fine, IMO.
Also IRC looks and works like ass. As a teenager I used it without putting in the time to getting used to it, and it was really really impenetrable.
- mvdtnz 1y agoThe author isn't talking about IRC the protocol and probably wouldn't defend the more impenetrable parts of IRC interaction. He is talking solely about the mIRC user interface with its familiar File, Edit, View, Help menus, colourful icons, beveled buttons, visible scrollbars, draggable windows, high-contrast focus indicators, etc.
- layer8 1y agoThe theming is okay as long as it’s user-controllable, so that every user can select their preferred contrast and color scheme. Personally I would prefer all “orgs” to use the same OS-native theme, and at most a different logo somewhere. The problem is when we are getting inconsistent themes with wildly varying contrast levels shoved down our throats, in what is supposed to be productivity applications.
