Onium - Inject hebrew support into slack desktop app
====================================================

Onium is a small utility to inject Hebrew support (automatic RTL) into
Slack’s desktop app. Onium does this by modifying Slack’s app.asar
(Slack application code) and changes the Slack app itself.

What is Onium?
--------------

Onium fixes one of Slack’s most glaring issues for users in countries
whose script is written Right-to-left. It does so by injecting code into
Slack that modifies the displayed text to correctly show Right-to-left
words.

The Slack app is built using Electron, which essentially wraps a
Chromium browser and a Node.js server together. Onium modifies the HTML
displayed by the Chromium browser to properly support Hebrew (and RTL)
languages.

Onium does this by modifying Slack’s internal code (creating a “Fixed”
solution), until Slack adds a new update.

Requirements
------------

You need Python 2.7 or 3.5 or later to run Onium. Onium should work on
Windows, Mac and Linux.

Quick start
-----------

Onium can be installed using pip:

::

   $ python -m pip install onium

As long as python’s scripts folder is in your path, simply run

::

   $ onium 

Usage
-----

Onium supports various command line parameters

::

   usage: onium [-h] [-l LOCATION] [--no-kill] [--no-start] [-b BACKUP]
                      [-f] [-d]

   Inject hebrew support plugin into Slack's tab inside an electron app. This
   program injects the Chrome's hebrew_slack plugin into any electron (desktop)
   version of the slack app

   optional arguments:
     -h, --help            show this help message and exit
     -l LOCATION, --location LOCATION
                           Location of application to run, or auto, local
                           (Windows only), store (Windows only) [default: auto]
     --no-kill             Do not attempt to kill original application before
                           starting
     --no-start            Do not attempt to start application (assume already
                           running)
     -b BACKUP, --backup BACKUP
                           Name to use save original slack app backup. This will
                           never overwrite an existing backup file. Fails if file
                           already exists and not used with -f [default:
                           app.asar.orig]
     -f, --force           Proceed even if backup file already exists [default:
                           False]
     -d, --debug           Pass --remote-debugging-port=9222 to enable rendered
                           debugger with chrome
