As I've mentioned in this comment it's time to deprecated this package then.

Now people can use https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/whatsapp-nativefier and just change the settings to use the dark theme.

I edited pkgbuild files from pamac. I cancelled yarn and package.json from sources and relevant shas (using #), and built the package again. I also added nodejs-nativefier and unzip to dependencies (I don't know if it is really needed but follow the bkmo's comment below) Now it works with beautiful dark theme. Thank you.

edit: but now there is no popup notification for messages. its a nativefier problem. after build, doing sed -i "s/const newNotify =.*/const newNotify = function (title, opt) {/" YOUR_DIRECTORY/resources/app/lib/preload.js fixes it. https://github.com/jiahaog/nativefier/issues/956

I edited my last comment to include that the tray icon is working correctly with version 8.0.7 installed from AUR. Dark theme is fine. I built it from makepkg and not from pamac. Rebuilding via pamac worked fine too. I had to install package unzip.

Hi bkmo.

See this comment: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/whatsapp-nativefier-dark/?O=20&PP=10#comment-734687

I haven't stopped to look at the issue I've mentioned there yet.

I get the same behavior with a right or left click. Opens up menu> whatsapp-quit Also on KDE Manjaro distro.

Is there a reason you are locking the version of nativefier at 7.7.1? edit: I just built it with nativefier version 8.0.7 and the tray icon works correctly. Left click opens and closes the window.

I see. I use EndeavourOS + Deepin WM and the behavior is fine. Not sure what's causing this issue on manjaro kde.

sorry :) yes, left click.

About:

I still don't have proper "right click" behavior on tray icon. It shows the menu instead of raising/lowering the application window. on manjaro kde.

I think that is the proper behaviour, right? "right click" should shows the menu and "left click" raising/lowering the application window.

bkmo

Nice to know. When this happens (toggle to switch light/dark mode) probably this package will be deprecated and we all should use https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/whatsapp-nativefier. Or maybe this package can be an alternative to the native whatsapp dark mode using stylus (as it was before the latest release).

Thank you, now the dark theme seems very well.

the non-dark nativefied one here is normal in this sense (but it doesn't show notifications): http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/whatsapp-nativefier

Whatsapp is still beta testing/tweaking dark mode, but in the future they intend to add the toggle to the page. I just built your new release, and it is excellent this way, Thanks
