U-M Slack
Issue
Slack has announced changes coming in the month of June to the look and feel of the U-M Slack sidebar. The changes are listed below.
Resolution
Slack has announced changes to the look and feel of your sidebar in U-M Slack. The changes are as follows:
- Removal of Slack Connect and multi-workspace channel icons
- You'll notice fewer icons in your sidebar, and you will now have to hover over a channel name to see if it's a Slack Connect channel or a multi-workspace channel
- Color change to notification badges
- The red notification badges in Slack’s default theme have been replaced with a more subtle white color to catch your attention without demanding it. (i.e., the notification badges are no longer red)
- Note: You can change your notification badges back to red from your Slack preferences under Themes > Colors > Mention Badge > enter #FF0000
- Alignment adjustments
- Channels and headers will now be aligned in your sidebar at any screen size
