It worked for me as well. Did you follow his instructions after it was installed? Go to Settings>Chats>Theme> Choose "Dark"

[guitexa]

It worked well for me, since I've go to Settings > Chats > Theme > Choose "Dark"

Thanks @firefinchdev 🙏

Where is this "Choose Dark" option? I'm using W10, but I can't find it anywhere in the Whatsapp application.

[1800Kon]

@candestep click the 3 dots on the top left and then settings > theme > dark

[candestep]

@KBG360 is that only available after installing the version by firefinchdev? https://github.com/firefinchdev/whatsapp-desktop-dark

My application does show the Theme option. I'm using Whatsapp 2.2025.7 by the way, and it is not the Microsoft Store version.

[firefinchdev]

@candestep Yes

Removed the whole devDependecies object inside package.json that contained the work "resourcehacker". Installation progressed a little more but failed. This is what I got:

You only need to remove resource hacker, not entire devDependencies. By the way, if you are not comfortable with all this manual build, pre build binaries are available. Just go though the Readme of the fork.

[candestep]

... thank you.

Used the prebuild and worked like a charm. Not sure why I thought I needed to go through the manual process, good learning experience anyway.

Thank you so much for your help!
