How To Add Google's New Themes to Chrome

Google has just introduced several new themes for Chrome that offer both dark and coloured options. The themes will change the colour of the Chrome UI elements but don't affect the web pages that Chrome is displaying. For that you'll need an extension like Dark Reader.

LifeHacker has a handy guide to enabling the new themes, including screen shots. Some of theme are pretty lurid. I am now using the Slate theme, which uses a combination of dark blue and black. Along with the Dark Reader extension that I've been using for a while, it makes web browsing much easier on the eyes.

Incidentally, if you use Windows 10, you can use dark mode in some of the apps. This is especially handy in File Explorer.
