Nix

You can automatically apply this patch to Element Desktop on Nix with the use of an overlay.

self: super:
{
  element-web = super.element-web.overrideAttrs (oldAttrs: rec {
    greentext = super.fetchpatch {
      url = "https://git.supernets.org/nameless/element-web-patches/raw/branch/main/greentext.patch";
      sha256 = ""; # Replace this with the hash provided by Nix.
    };
    configurePhase = oldAttrs.configurePhase + ''
      patch node_modules/matrix-react-sdk/src/SlashCommands.tsx ${greentext}
    '';
  });
}
