Do I have to follow the steps every time I want to change my theme, or are the ones I've previously tried saved somewhere?

Question

Where can I find different themes for Google Chrome?

Community Answer

Navigate to the Chrome web store. The fastest way to do this is to type "chrome web store" into your URL bar and open the first Google search result. Once there, you will see "Themes" on the left sidebar. Click on that and you'll be able to access various themes.

What do I do if I downloaded my theme and it is not showing up on Chrome?

Community Answer

You might have to give it some time. Sometimes the theme will be big enough that the upload may lag.

How do I change the background on a theme in Chrome?

There are three little lines in the top right corner of the browser, click on them, then click on Settings. Under the appearance setting, there is a button that says Get Theme. Select this to change the background on a theme.

Question

Why is a theme I've downloaded very enlarged or pixelated unless it's from the pre-installed selection? How can I adjust the themes to fit the screen or zoom out once applied?

Community Answer

If an image appears blurry, it might be too small. Make sure the image is at least 1920x1080 pixels.

Question

I added a theme to Google Chrome, but the toolbar changed colors and the background image did not show up on the Google homepage.

Community Answer

This may happen if the background image is blocked. Try clicking on the pencil icon in the bottom right corner of a new tab to select any image you want.

Question

What should I do if a Chrome theme is blocked by my school's administrator?

Bentley Turner-Lumpkin

Community Answer

If a theme is blocked by your school's administrators, you'll need to contact them for assistance, as external sources like wikiHow can't change your school's restrictions.

Question

I am signed into my Google Chrome account, but every time I select a theme, there is no "Add to Chrome" button. What should I do?

Community Answer

When you find a theme you'd like to use, click "Add to Chrome," and the theme will be applied immediately. If you change your mind, click "Undo" at the top.
