Windows 10: Chrome’s dark mode getting ready for Windows 10 as Google to fix glitches

Google is actively working on dark mode implementation in Chrome for Windows 10 and other platforms. Windows 10 and macOS has a system-wide dark theme which if enabled brings dark appearance to all compatible apps. Google’s next update to Chrome will make it compatible with the system-wide dark mode.

According to various findings, Chrome is getting a dark mode on Windows 10, compatible with the OS’s native dark mode. Chrome’s dark appearance covers the new tab, downloads, history, bookmark manager, settings, extensions pages and other areas.

While Chrome’s dark mode looks good, there are multiple glitches at the moment. For example, the texts in the menu, bookmark folders and find in Page have the same background and foreground colours. As the foreground is black and the background is dark grey, it is apparently difficult to read the texts.


Find in page feature uses white text

As the bug report on Chromium points out, this bug causes Bookmarks folders to have a dark background, but the text is not white. Similarly, the text in the menu is also black. It also causes Find in Page to have white text, but it does not have a dark background. In all these cases, it is difficult to read the texts.



First spotted by us, Chromium contributor Robert Liao has now submitted a commit which aims to address this glitch and the commit is being reviewed by Google software engineer Peter Kasting, who confirmed the development of dark mode for the desktop last year.

The Chromium post is titled ‘Route Dark Mode Windows Colors through GetAuraColor()’ and it is supposed to address the glitch where the text is not white when the background is dark.

“Win32 system colors currently don’t support Dark Mode. As a result, fallback on the Aura colors. Inverted color schemes can be ignored here as it’s only true when Chrome is running on a high-contrast AND when the relative luminance of COLOR_WINDOWTEXT is greater than COLOR_WINDOW (e.g. white on black), which is basically like dark mode,” the post revealed.

At the time of writing this story, the fix for Chrome’s dark mode glitches is not live in the Canary version.

It’s worth noting that this change is currently still in development, and as such, it’s going to be a while before we get a usable dark mode for Chrome in the stable branch.

Chrome glitch

Hello Ralph,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

As per the issue description on one of the three users Chrome is not working.
I would appreciate if you can provide us the following information to help us understand the issue better.

• The account on which you are facing issue with Chrome, does it have the administrator permission?
• Have you check with other browser? Was the result same?
• Is the issue specific to only one application or facing issue with other application too?

First, I would suggest you to use Internet Explorer and see if it brings any difference.
Here are the steps through which you can use Internet Explorer.

• 
  Press the Windows key.
  
• 
  Type Internet Explorer in the search box.
  
• 
  Right click on Internet Explorer
  (Desktop app).
  
• 
  Select Pint to task bar.
  
• 
  Try to use Internet Explorer from there and see if it brings any difference.
  

If you still want to use Chrome then I would suggest you to open the application Chrome in administrator mode and see if it brings any difference. Here are the steps through which you can open Chrome in Administrator mode.

• Press the Windows key or click on Start icon.
• Type Google Chrome.
• Right click on Google Chrome and select the option to Run As Administrator.
• If everything works fine by running chrome in administrator mode then you may pin it to the task bar.

Hope this would help. If issue still persists post back with current status of your computer and result of the proposed suggestion, we will be happy to assist you.

Regards,
