Google is working on adding support to Chrome for dark mode in macOS Mojave. Although the new feature is available now as an early beta, Google has a number of problems to solve to make the new feature work …
In a succinct bug report, a developer summarises the situation.
macOS 10.14 introduced “dark mode”, which swaps the system color palette to a dark scheme. Chrome doesn’t currently support this. We need to:
1) Figure out how dark mode should look in the Refresh look2) Implement it
Google releases the Chrome version 73 to the public on 12 March, which is the latest edition of this popular browser. One of the most noticeable update is the added support for dark mode on macOS users, later on Windows. Since Google has engineered Dark mode to work with macOS’ dark mode display options, it must be enabled by turning on your Mac’s dark UI mode from the Apple system settings, rather than in. Chrome’s dark mode is tied to the system color scheme in both Windows 10 and macOS Mojave. That means you need to switch the entire operating system to light mode just to disable Chrome’s dark.
One particular challenge for Chrome is that it currently uses its own app-specific dark mode to signal incognito mode.
- In the latest release of its web-based operating system, that's Chrome 73, the company has enabled dark mode, which turns webpages and elements of the browser itself black. To turn it on, go to the.
- Now, what to expect from the dark mode in the latest release of Chrome Canary Google Chrome Canary on macOS For the macOS users, not much has changed since the previous Canary update. If you are using macOS Mojave, Chrome will automatically switch Normal and Dark modes depending on the global settings you have.
I think the main concern here is how the dark mode for Mojave will be distinguishable from Incognito mode. Moreover, Chrome pages (such as New Tab Page, Settings, History, etc.) and maybe the submenus of Bookmark Bar and 3-dot menu should also support dark mode to fully support.
Additionally, Google can’t use some of the workarounds it has with incognito mode.
Before the new dark mode, there was a problem with how browser actions looked in darker UI (mainly in Incognito mode, and when dark themes are used). And now, with the adding of the new dark mode, this problem will become more annoying for a lot more users.
For Incognito mode (which is currently dark), developers used to call `chrome.browserAction.setIcon()` for every tab and use a lighter browser action icon when the tab is in an incognito window. But this workaround can’t be used to deal with dark themes, nor with the new dark mode, because there is no clue if the current theme is light or dark, and whether Mojave’s dark mode is turned on or off.
An early version of it can currently be enabled in the latest version of Chrome Canary, though many of the colors are simply placeholders for now. Download Canary, then run the following Terminal command:
