The reports of Google Chrome dark mode initially appeared online after Google was spotted working on a dark theme specifically for macOS Mojave. The dark themed Google Chrome offers a comfortable browsing experience and it looks like the browser will finally work with Windows 10’s system-wide dark mode.
Yesterday, we reported that Google Chrome is set to get a native dark mode on Windows 10 and today users have discovered a simple to enable Google Chrome dark mode on Windows desktops.
Senior Chrome Engineer Peter Kasting has confirmed the ongoing development around native dark mode support. He had also submitted a bug report on Chromium to highlight the fact that Windows 10 supports dark mode and Chrome should respect this behaviour.
The huge amount of feedback from users has apparently convinced Google to start to focus more on native dark mode support on Google Chrome for desktops and the first tidbits have started to show up.
You can already available the half-baked dark mode in Google Chrome by downloading the Canary build.
Steps to enable Google Chrome dark mode
- Download and install Google Chrome Canary.
- Make sure the shortcut of the Canary version is pinned to the desktop.
- Right-click the shortcut and tap on ‘Properties’.
- In Target field, add -force-dark-mode after the Chrome Canary location.
- Click Apply and OK to save changes.
Google Canary will now launch with the highly-anticipated dark mode. However, at the moment, the dark theme implementation appears to be half-baked and there are noticeable glitches which should be addressed before the official launch.
