Slack Connect
Your Slack: unread channels and DMs, mentions, your status, away and paused notifications, quick messages and pinned channels.
A built-in Spacedash widget for your Windows 11 or 10 desktop, at any size next to your other widgets. It works on the XENEON EDGE too. It's part of Premium, a one-time $19.99 upgrade.
Shown at its default size, with sample data.

Questions
Is the Spacedash Slack Connect widget free?
No, Slack Connect is a Premium widget. Spacedash itself is free; Premium is an optional one-time upgrade of $19.99, with no subscription, that adds Slack Connect and the other Premium widgets.
Do I need a XENEON EDGE to use the Slack Connect widget?
No. Spacedash runs on any monitor on Windows 10 or 11, and on the CORSAIR XENEON EDGE in Desktop Mode or, inside iCUE, in Widget Mode.
What can I change on the Slack Connect widget?
49 options, such as design, edited design, slack workspace and show. They're grouped as account, show, design, parts, words, behaviour and colours. Every widget also takes your own font, text size and look.
Can I move or hide parts of the Slack Connect widget?
Yes. Its parts (icon, title, count, summary, updated, big number, your status, rows and cards, photos, icons and emoji, names, messages, counts, times, write bar, buttons, edge fade and notes) can each be resized, restyled or hidden under Customize → Layout.
