Google’s newest update for ChromeOS is rolling out to users this week, and one of its new features is support for switching to a dark theme, as 9to5Google reported. Previously hidden behind developer flags while in testing, it finally made an official debut on ChromeOS 104, following dark mode settings popping up more in other Google products.
In a Google blog post mentioning the incoming feature, the company says that the new dark theme would make it easier to “read at night or in low light, and to conserve power,” while switching to a light theme changes the entire UI and wallpaper to make things “bright and airy.” Until now, ChromeOS only included a “Night Light” setting in its software to help you look at your screen in dim light by changing the screen tint.
Here’s how you can change your display theme in ChromeOS 104:
- Go to Settings.
- Select Personalization.
- Select Set your wallpaper & style.
- Select Light, Dark, or Auto mode based on your preference.
You can also access the Wallpaper & Style settings through your homescreen by pressing your touchpad with two fingers and selecting the option.
