Google Chrome 74 stable expected to release on April 23, 2019, with dark mode support on Windows, it has been released but you don’t see Chrome going dark when you enable App mode setting in Windows 10 to dark, don’t worry! You can still get the dark mode working in latest Chrome version 74, here is how.
Get the dark mode working for Chrome 74 on Windows 10
The much anticipated dark mode support to Chrome has been added, but you need to wait for some more time as Chrome Community manager said they’re rolling out the feature to a small number of users and will be available to more in near future.
We got some good news for you: Chrome 74 beta released one day before (April 22, 2019) with the same version number as that of stable 74.0.3729.108 is respecting Windows 10 theme settings and gone dark for us as we noticed.
You can force enable dark mode on Chrome stable by running with this (--enable-features=WebUIDarkMode --force-dark-mode) command line flag, but that doesn’t respect OS theme settings where the latest Chrome beta does.
Without delay, download and install Chrome beta to enjoy the new features. Here are the release notes of this version and download link for the beta, it’s just the beta tag and mostly there won’t be a significant difference between this and release version.
Since you can run Chrome stable and beta/dev side by side, there won’t be any loss of data or overriding of settings. You can anytime uninstall the beta and use release version.
Wait for Chrome dark mode to arrive to you or install the beta, what do you say?
