How to Turn on Darkness in Chrome

Chrome 73 has the feature ς or else dark mode. This new feature is available for both Windows 10 and MacOS. Unfortunately, while it works great for MacOS, it works half as well on Windows 10.

Also, if you're using Mac, you can easily set the dark mode in Chrome. But if you're in Windows 10, you need to do a little trick to make it work. Let's go see:

Dark Chrome Mode on MacOS
Update Chrome for the latest version. To update Chrome, click the “Περισσότερες επιλογές” που βρίσκεται επάνω δεξιά και επιλέξτε Βοήθεια > Σχετικά με το Chrome. Θα μεταβείτε στη σελίδα “Chrome About”, όπου ο browser θα ελέγξει αυτόματα τις ενημερώσεις και θα ενημερώσει το in version 73. The update will require a browser restart.

In macOS, Chrome will only switch to dark mode if you use the dark system theme. To apply it, open the "System Preferences" application and go to "General Preferences". Select the dark theme and Chrome will change its interface to reflect it.

Dark Chrome Mode on Windows 10
Dark mode in Chrome is not officially available for Windows 10. You can force it to turn on by putting a switch.

To use Chrome's dark mode in Windows 10, create a desktop shortcut for Chrome. Right-click on it and select "Properties" from the context menu. In the properties window, go to the "Shortcut" tab and in the "Destination" field, type the following immediately after the existing text, after adding a space.

-force-dark-mode

Close Chrôme, and then use the shortcut to open it. You should see the dark operation. If you do not see it, restart your system.

Chrome

We said that Chrome's dark mode in Windows 10 still has shortcomings because the here is that Chrome 73 does not follow the Windows dark / light theme.

For now, if you need to run the dark mode and the open mode in Chrome, then you can create a second Chrome shortcut which you leave unchanged, ie without completing the -force-dark-mode. Use the edited shortcut when you need to open Chrome in dark mode, and use the unobtrusive shortcut to open Chrome in light mode.

Once you open Chrôme with a specific function (dark or open), you will not be able to open any new Chroma window with a different function than the first one. The alternative is to wait for Chrome to reach 74. It only takes a few weeks and will work with the Windows 10 light / dark theme.
