While Chrome lets you browse the web in dark mode, only sections of the browser change color. UI components like menus and the toolbar turn dark, but the web content doesn’t. According to the folks at Techdows, Google is fixing that. The company is reportedly now working on a setting that’ll enable you to force Chrome scrollbars to turn dark along with the rest of the browser.
Dark mode support coming to Google Chrome scrollbars
You’ll soon be able to force web content to turn dark in Chrome on your desktop via a flag that became available recently. The new switch named Web Platform Controls Dark Mode will let you personalize every part of the Chrome using a dark theme. Additionally, enabling the setting should render forms controls dark. The feature is certainly welcome considering the mismatch you get on a dark-themed site with bright Chrome scrollbars lingering from one side or the bottom of the screen. The new setting hasn’t made it to the release version of Chrome yet, and Google hasn’t made any announcement with respect to that. But according to reports, the Canary build of the browser supports the dark mode improvement. Two conditions have to be right for you to use the feature though:
Enable dark mode on your Windows 10 device. Visit a website that supports dark mode.
Chromium-based Microsoft Edge also supports dark mode, and we created a guide to help you activate the feature in the browser. Have you tried using dark mode in Google Chrome yet? What was your experience? Feel free to let us know via the comments section below.
