Question: I recently accidentally changed my chrome settings on my chromebook. I used to have a computer-wide dark mode, but kept google in light mode. However, when I went to chrome settings, it was in dark mode, and the right click menu in any tab was also dark mode. The look of the tabs and most things like google docs were all light mode though. How can I get back to this hybrid?
I understand your need to get back to that specific hybrid setup on your Chromebook. Based on your description, you want to maintain a computer-wide dark mode while keeping certain aspects, like the Chrome browser and Google Docs, in light mode. Here’s how you can achieve that: **Step 1: Enable System-Wide Dark Mode** 1. **Enable Dark Theme on Chromebook:** - Click the system clock in the bottom-right corner of your screen. - Select the gear icon to open the Settings menu. - Under the “Device” section, click on “Appearance.” - Choose “Dark” under the “Theme” settings. **Step 2: Override Dark Mode for Specific Websites** 2. **Disable Dark Mode for Chrome and Google Docs:** - Open Chrome and type `chrome://flags` in the address bar and press Enter. - In the search bar at the top, type `Force Dark Mode for Web Contents`. - Set this flag to `Disabled` if it was enabled, then restart your Chrome browser. 3. **Set Google in Light Mode:** - Open Google’s search page. - In the bottom right corner, click on `Settings`. - Choose `Search Settings`. - Under the “Appearance” section, choose `Light theme`. - Click `Save`. **Step 3: Apply Separate Theme for Chrome Browser** 3. **Customize Chrome Theme:** - Open Chrome and go to this URL: `chrome://settings/appearance`. - Click on “Theme” to open the Chrome Web Store. - Select a light theme you prefer and apply it. **Step 4: Check and Adjust Google Docs Appearance** 4. **Google Docs Appearance:** - Open a Google Docs document. - Google Docs should follow Google account settings and system theme by default. If it's showing in dark mode, manually switch it to light mode if this option is available under a settings icon or options menu in your document editor. By following these steps, you should have your Chromebook in dark mode for the system UI and right-click menus, while keeping your Chrome browser, Google search, and Google Docs in light mode. Adjust as needed based on trial and error to get the exact look you desire.
