Download Dark Theme For Chrome ~UPD~
Angelines Mulready
I'm using Fedora 36, which has default Gnome desktop environment. I have dark theme turned on in Gnome settings -> Appearance (NOT gnome tweaks). When I open firefox, it automatically detects my system dark, and when I go to google search in firefox, it properly appears as dark. I'm not even logged in.
However, when I use Google chrome, it does not properly detect system theme. It still appears white when I go to google search. Anything I have to manually do to get Google chrome working as well as firefox here?
On Fedora you can open: chrome://flags/#enable-force-dark and enable that Auto Dark Mode for Web Contents option.Then on chrome://settings/appearance ensure GTK+ option is active.Maybe it works for other distributions Gnome 42, I'm gonna appreciate your comments.
Hey all, I made a theme for Chrome when using Breeze Dark window decorations. I found that the ones in the Chrome Store were either broken since Google introduced rounded tabs, or they had light elements.
yeah i already using it ,though the websites are in dark mode, but in chrome settings,history and downloads are in light mode.it is not big issue though i am curious about fixing that for a uniform experience.....
Dark themes only affect the "external" part, the window. As far as I know, the Dark Reader extension (or maybe equivalent extensions) is the only way to make the content of pages dark.
It definitely takes some processing time, but my eyesight takes priority over my hurry (especially as the years go by...)
Yeah i also thinking it but in windows it is in dark mode when i turn on dark mode

I use Brave for most 'unimportant' things, and there is a setting for getting this done. As Brave is on a Chrome base, I would have expected it to be there somewhere. Specifically I set 'Use system title bars and colours" and "Brave - dark" along with using GTK classic. Any of those present?
Quick tip: Chrome browsers on a computer also give you many color palette options, including variations of dark themes. Click the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner, select Settings, and then select Appearance in the menu on the left. Click Theme and you'll see numerous options for darker and lighter browser colors. Make your choice and then click Add to Chrome.
Note: You can also tap System default in the above menu to enable dark mode in Chrome automatically whenever your device is set to dark mode or you've enable Android's battery saver mode.
Since Chrome offers incognito mode that also presents with a darkened background, you can always check the upper-right corner of your Chrome browser to check whether you're in incognito mode or dark mode.
The prefers-color-scheme CSS media feature is used to detect if a user has requested light or dark color themes. A user indicates their preference through an operating system setting (e.g. light or dark mode) or a user agent setting.
This example shows both options: Theme A uses light colors, but can be overridden to dark colors. Theme B uses dark colors, but can be overridden to light colors. In the end, if the browser supports prefers-color-scheme, both themes will be light or dark.
The left boxes shows Theme A and Theme B as they would appear without the prefers-color-scheme media query. The right boxes show the same themes, but one of them will be changed to a darker or lighter variant based on the user's active color scheme. The outline of one box will be dashed or dotted if it was changed based on your browser or operating systems settings.

A light-on-dark color scheme (dark mode, night mode) has been suggested as an option/enhancement to Wikipedia numerous times since 2010, including on Phabricator. Wikipedia's smartphone apps offer an official night mode, but the desktop settings do not. While there is no official desktop dark mode as of 2023, there is a gadget on English Wikipedia, and various volunteer-written CSS files that allow customization for logged-in users. More limited options exist for non-logged-in users. No current options are actively supported or maintained by the Wikimedia Foundation.
The simplest approach is to enable the dark mode gadget on the Preferences > Gadgets page: under the "Appearance" section, select the checkbox for "Dark mode toggle". Once checked, dark mode is available to toggle in the Profile Dropdown Box, located in the Upper Right-Hand corner of the page.
Preferences > Gadgets has another simple option in "Use a black background with green text", also found under 'Appearance'. Apart from gadgets, another way to get a dark mode is adding custom css to your user style page(s). This is more complex than activating a gadget, but more flexible, allowing, for example: custom colors, custom fonts, or hiding unused UI elements. Help:User style describes the process of adding custom css in general. For dark mode-specific css, a number of options are available including:
There are browser extensions for popular browsers that offer a Wikipedia-specific dark mode, and browser extensions that allow you to set custom CSS for a given domain, which could be used with the CSS available above. However, all browser extensions need to be carefully screened for security issues, some inject advertising, and customization may be more difficult than editing a single CSS file.
If you use Chrome, there is also a built-in experimental/beta setting to force dark mode, set through chrome://flags/ with the description "Force Dark Mode for Web Contents - Automatically render all web contents using a dark theme". This is provided by Chrome's development team, so security should not be a concern, but this will render all web pages in dark mode. This feature is also available in Microsoft Edge, through the edge://flags/ menu.
There are several add-on/extension offerings on Firefox which work well. The most popular is Dark Mode for Wikipedia which uses only a single css style sheet to enable dark mode on Wikipedia. Do not install any extension or add-on that you don't trust.
MediaWiki dark modes often lack Wikipedia-specific CSS classes, which can result in unexpected page rendering when used with Wikipedia. They may provide useful ideas in improving Wikipedia-specific dark modes, however.
You can apply various color themes to Microsoft Edge DevTools, including several themes from Visual Studio Code, such as Monokai and Solarized Dark. Themes affect the color of panes, buttons, and code syntax highlighting.
By default, the DevTools theme is set to System preference (also called system preferred color theme). If your operating system is set to Light theme, DevTools uses the Light+ theme. If your operating system is set to Dark theme, DevTools uses the Dark+ theme. However, you can change DevTools to any of several other themes, so that DevTools isn't affected when you set the operating system to Light or Dark theme.
This "dark mode" refers to a website's content, and should not be confused with the operating system's dark mode, or the browser's UI dark mode. Those dark modes refer to the color of the OS and the browser's user interface elements, and not to a website's color scheme.
However, with Forced Dark Mode, anyone can enable a dark theme for the ZDNet (or any other) website, showing white text on a dark background. For the image below, we purposely left the OS and Chrome in a light theme, but put the ZDNet website in a forced dark mode, via Chrome.
I switched back to Dark Reader its not as clean as the zendesk extension but it does the job.
I have some sites I don't want in dark mode, so I use the site list section on the plugin and add the ones I do want in dark mode to inverted list only. That way the ones I have native dark mode it doesn't mess with.
Hi @...,
I used to use the Chrome extension you mentioned until they started asking for $2/m. This is a must-have feature for all your customers. I'm really having a hard time now working on your platform. We all want the dark mode to be available as an option, and you should support that.
Almost everything now has a dark mode option, and it's for a reason. Please deliver this request to whoever can make a decision at Zendesk to make it happen.
Same! ZD, you have a great product as far as I can tell with using it for 3 months. Would love it if you could either adapt or allow Windows themes, or Chromes to take over your overlays. Looking at your AI for long periods of time with the whitewash LOUD bright white built in is obnoxious and so Windows XP. Please help your customers out.
Actually, I have to follow back up on my last comment I just made. I was using ZD dark mode theme add on in chrome. As most of you know they now charge for a monthly fee...which is ridiculous (at least it feels like) so I turned that off. However it looks like "Dark Reader" the Chrome extension works for ZD as well as other apps (G-suite apps included. Everyone try it out and see how it works.
