Recently I started using Ubuntu as my default OS for programming and I am loving working in it!
But there was an issue which I faced, By default in Google Chrome dark mode is not enabled and it was kind of a letdown.
After digging up the Internet I found that In order to enable the Dark mode I needed to edit the google-chrome.desktop
file.
If you are also dealing with a similar issue then, just follow along
Firstly open, the google-chrome.desktop
file using,
sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop
After the file has been opened, you will need to edit two lines
1. Search for the line-
Exec=/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable %U
replace it with-
Exec=/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable %U --enable-features=WebUIDarkMode --force-dark-mode
2. Search for the line-
Exec=/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable
replace it with-
Exec=/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable --enable-features=WebUIDarkMode --force-dark-mode
Now, Save the file and restart Chrome. Dark mode should be enabled now
Thanks for reading!
Have a nice day!😇
