Although the Slack app for Windows 10 can switch to the dark mode automatically when you change the system color mode, sometimes, you may want to enable the dark mode on Slack manually.
If you prefer to use the dark mode instead of the light color scheme, you can change the settings from the Slack preferences, which it also includes the ability to customize the experience with different colors.
In this guide, you’ll learn the steps to switch from the light to dark theme on Slack on Windows 10.
