Chrome Themes
Chrome Extensions are web-based programmes that are
designed to be used entirely within the browser. Using
apps, you can do things like create documents, edit photos
and listen to music, without having to install complicated
third-party software on your computer. Themes on the other
hand are purely aesthetic as they change the look of the
Chrome browser and do not add any further functionality.
Think of Themes as a way of injecting a little extra bit of your
personality into your web browser.
Step 1
❱ You can access the Web Store easily by clicking on the Apps
Icon in the top left area of the page when you start Chrome.
The Apps page will slide into view, displaying any apps you
currently have installed (Gmail and YouTube for example).
Step 2
❱ Click on the lower right side of the Chrome Web Store icon
to open it. The web store home screen shows a selection of
popular and trending themes. Roll over any of the images to
read a short description. To see more details, click anywhere on
the description or theme title.
Step 3
❱ To install a theme, click on the Add to Chrome button. Your
new theme will instantly install and be present within your
current Chrome Browser window. You can also share themes
with others by clicking on the Share button next to the Add to
Chrome button; or Launch Theme button if already installed.
Choose the Share method from the list.
