Doesn't work on Telegram for MacOS. The file has a tdesktop-theme extension, however the current version of Telegram for MacOS needs a .palette file extension to be imported.

Could you review it? Since this version of the theme works perfectly for Telegram on Windows, a good idea would be to generate a new version exclusively for MacOS :)

If a spoiler extends past the size of the side bar, the text is visible in the sidebar

This has been tested in Saved Messages, Channel and Group Chat, all exhibit this issue

Any plans to support Telegram for macOS?

Perhaps I'm missing something in the instructions, but I cannot figure out how to apply this theme in the macOS edition of Telegram.

I'm looking inside
Preferences > Theme, and don't see anywhere that indicates adding a custom theme.

Thanks!

Hello @mazipan,

Can you update this repository to follow the conventions we set on https://github.com/dracula/template?

That basically includes:

1. Update repo name: desktop-telegram > telegram
2. Update repo description
3. Update README
4. Add LICENSE and .github files

This is just my personal preferences, but I think that own message background must be brighter than other messages background.
If I just swap two options in colors.tdesktop-theme: msgInBg and msgOutBg, than my messages stand out more and make it easy to recognize.

(on the left other people's messages, on the right - my)

Also, if you're in a group, there are a lot more other messages, so it becomes harder for eyes (almost all background is blue).

Hey @mazipan I've got everything transferred over finally! If you could look it over and let me know how it looks that would be great. Anything you see that needs to be added or changed either open an issue and I'll get to it or a PR if you want to change it. Later on I'll post a "Best Practices" guide on how to treat the branches and everything but mainly its just using Git Flow so all the work is done on the develop branch and when everything is ready for a new version its opened in a release branch then merged into master and back to develop. That sounds complicated but you can just open a PR and I'll make sure it's on the right branch and everything before merging.

The only thing that's not really finished are the intro (first app run?) variables. I've opened an issue for it here #4. Also, I'm for the most part a macOS user so I haven't fully tested out a lot of the Windows variables. So if you use Windows let me know if anything looks off.

Thanks!

PS I'll also let @zenorocha know it's transferred over and that I'll do the codepen one next.

I am able to download the theme, however, it is not recognized (greyed out) by the macOS App Store version of the Telegram App and cannot be installed.

The Dracula theme does not work on Telegram 8.1.4. on MacOS. The theme file can't be uploaded. The open function is greyed out

Please update telegram theme.
Telegram added new future called Chat Folders

Issue: #14

Solution: in the end of file "colors.tdesktop-theme" add

sideBarBg: pBg; // filters side bar background
sideBarBgActive: pSelection; // filters side bar active background
sideBarBgRipple: rippleBgHeavy; // filters side bar ripple effect
sideBarTextFg: pYellow; // filters side bar text
sideBarTextFgActive: pPink; // filters side bar active item text
sideBarIconFg: pComment; // filters side bar icon
sideBarIconFgActive: pPurple; // filters side bar active item icon
sideBarBadgeBg: pComment; // filters side bar badge background
sideBarBadgeBgMuted: pSelection; // filters side bar unimportant badge background
sideBarBadgeFg: pFg; // filters side bar badge text

I'm using this theme in conjunction with the overall "Dracula GTK" one, and despite both being implemented correctly, the buttons mentioned in the title only change colour, but remain the same, "generic" ones. Every other application on my system (Manjaro Gnome) has no such issue.

If a contact doesn't have an avatar set, Telegram generates one using the contact's initials.

This theme uses a set of background colous that Telegram chooses "randomly", and black as the foreground color. Sometimes the chosen background is black, however, resulting in a fully black circle.

Theme can be installed directly inside Telegram, you can install it by following this link t.me/addtheme/draculadesktop

All of the variables related to or beginning with 'intro' need to be finished/adjusted and then tested. I'm not sure how this would really be tested because (AFAIK) the intro part only shows when you first install it??? Or maybe if you log out then in again??? Idk I'll have to figure it out.

It makes names invisible:

This is message with reply. Name is invisible.

Chat Folders side bar has a different color and is not supported by the current theme.

Hi there,

I'm planning to publish general base16-telegram-desktop themes based on your colorscheme. Thank you very much for providing your theme, it's beautiful and solid with it's colors!

I've reduced the palette to 16 colors and changed some of them. Furthermore I made a template, so that templates for all base16 schemes are produced.

Would it be OK for you, if I mention you in the Readme.md as follows:

Contributors

• Neil Smith (Dracula Theme v0.1)

I'm going to merge the new version of the theme from my original repo to the master.
(I'm guessing just do a force push to maintain my original history but idk)

Before I do this though I want to make sure I have the proper README and extra fluff sorted out so there isn't just a jumbled or empty README page.

Hey @nmsmith22389, all other repositories use GitHub Releases for changelogs (https://github.com/dracula/visual-studio-code/releases). Would you mind following that pattern too?

Hi, the theme work well, but I have the impression that the main background of the discussion is not working. There is a picture of flowers instead of the dracula background 🤔

Telegram's version: 2.8.11 x64

Hello @mazipan!

I'm the creator of Dracula color scheme. I was searching for themes created by the community and I found yours. Good job by the way!

I was wondering if you are interested in transferring this repository to the official organization (https://github.com/dracula). You'll continue maintaining this project, the only difference is that we can make it more visible and include it on the site (https://draculatheme.com).

What do you think?
