}

Step 1: Install Stylebot
Step 2: Use the CSS above.
Step 3: Enjoy Flowdock again!

If you don't like the new color palette, desaturate the colors or make it monochrome:

/* 
 * Desaturated Tab Bar w/ Rounded Borders
 * Only use in Stylebot, not Native App 
 */

.flow-tab .tab-avatar {
    filter: saturate(80%);
    border-radius: 2px;
}

.notification-container {
    border-radius: 2px;
}

/* Monochrome Tab Bar w/ Rounded Borders */

.flow-tab .tab-avatar {
    background: #333 !important;
    border-radius: 2px !important;
}

.notification-container {
    border-radius: 2px !important;
}

If you prefer the team inbox panel on the left side (classic Flowdock), here you go:

/* Move inbox to the left */

#toolbar {
    left: 30.2% !important;
}

#toolbar.private-toolbar {
    left: 0 !important;
}

.left-panel {
    float: right !important;
    width: 69.8% !important;
}

.right-panel {
    border-right: 1px solid #C0C0C0 !important;
    float: left !important;
    height: calc(100% + 49px) !important;
    margin-top: -49px !important;
    width: 30.2% !important;
}

Couldn't get this to work. Flowdock (OS X app) loaded up, and you could see that it had used the stylesheet, but it became unusably slow and non-responsive. Had to force kill and remove the stylesheet. No clue as to what caused it though :(

@pareeohnos, remove filter: saturate(80%) !important; and it should be faster.

Indeed 👍

This was completely unusable until I removed filter: saturate(80%) !important; as @lautis suggested. Now it works great and is much better than those awful reply icons. Thanks!

Removed filter: saturate(80%) and updated gist. Sorry, only tested that change in Stylebot.

If anyone can say how to get rid of the avatars (and the space they occupy) I'd be appreciative! I tried playing around a bit but I'm terrible at CSS. Just adding display: none to .avatar-container makes it disappear but leaves a big whitespace gap to the left of the message body
