See Slack's documentation for application settings and reload behavior. The activation instructions above identify each supported flavor; keep your other application configuration.
Uses Slack's legacy eight-color custom-theme import. It colors Slack's interface, not code. The strings have not been tested in a Slack client.
Found a problem? Open an issue with the app version, the flavor and a screenshot. Want Living Code somewhere else? Request a port.
Pull requests are welcome. Keep this README, port.json and images/ in sync, and use real screenshots of the app, never mockups.
