How can I customize my Google Chrome theme?
1. Use the Customize Chrome button
- Open a new Chrome tab and click the Customize Chrome button from the bottom right corner.
- Here, you can choose a custom Chrome background image.
- Next, by clicking on the Color and Theme option you can set custom colors. Once you finish customizing your theme, click on Done.
2. Use a dedicated web app
- Open the ThemeBeta web app and enter a title for the theme inside the text box under the Basic tab.
- Navigate to the Images tab and press the Choose Image button for the NTP Background in order to add one.
- Select the fit-to-screen option shown to ensure the background image doesn’t leave any blank spaces in your custom Chrome background.
- Continue with the other customizable spaces such as Frame and Toolbar. If you press on the square next to the Choose Image button, you will be able to set a custom color instead of an image.
- Next, select the Colors tab. Here, you can adjust the color scheme for the theme’s text and buttons by clicking on the square icon next to the component.

The idea of color psychology has become a popular issue in a variety of fields, including marketing, art, and design, even though there is a general dearth of study in this area.
Researchers and industry professionals have produced a few significant findings and observations on the psychology of color and the influence it has on people’s moods, sentiments, and behaviors; nevertheless, the majority of the data in this developing field is, at best, anecdotal.
Cool hues, such as blue, purple, and green, are found on the side of the color spectrum that is closer to the color blue. Although these hues are frequently said to be calming, one may also associate them with emotions of melancholy or apathy instead.
Warm colors are those located in the red portion of the color spectrum. Examples of warm colors are red, orange, and yellow. Depending on the individual, these warm hues may elicit a wide range of responses, from ones of warmth and comfort to ones of wrath and aggression.
Keep this in mind when customizing your Chrome colors to get your desired result out of the colors.
