Glowers Club Element Patches

This contains everything used to patch Glowers Club's Element instance. This patch does the following:

  • Changes messages you send starting with ">" to be chan-style greentext instead of Reddit-style block quotes
  • Adds custom login background (replace lake.jpg with any background you want)
  • Adds custom text reactions in the emoji menu (at the bottom of the "Smileys & People" section). Change emoji.json to have any custom reactions you want.
  • Modifies the CSS for the emoji picker so the text reactions don't overflow to other emoji
  • Contains a fix for a bug when compiling that Element devs added and never fixed. See this Github issue
  • Replaces the default config.json with the one here
  • In response to Element devs renaming Kick to Remove, this patch does the following:
    • Remove has been renamed to Holocaust
    • Ban has been renamed to Gas
