HD Google Chrome Themes - 4K Backgrounds | Chromebook | Pc | Mac

Need help?

below I have compiled a very short list of the most asked questions that I get from you guys ... I have tried to answer them as accurately as I can, but I'm not perfekt ...

Are all your themes really free?

You bet your browser they are! Yes. All themes and extensions by chromethemer are free to get in the web store.
How do I add a theme?

It's super easy.

1 - First decide on a theme you like.

2 - Follow the theme back to it's download page in the chrome store.

3 - Now Look for the big blue Add to Chrome button on that page and click it once.

Your new theme should now be installing.

If the installation was successfull, you can preview the theme first to see if it's to your liking or not.

If it's not what you expected, then just click "Undo" to remove it.
How to remove a theme that I have installed?

You can either just add any other theme you like better. This will overwrite the existing theme, Or watch this 8 second video on youtube to reset your browser to the default Google Chrome theme.

1 - Open up Google Chrome.

2 - At the top right of your screen there is a [three dot bar]. Click on it.

3 - Now Look for "Settings" in the drop-down menu and click it. ---! This opens chrome://settings/" in a new tab !---

4 - Look for "Appearance" in the left side-bar menu or just scroll down the page for a second.

5 - Now click on Reset to Default ,next to "Themes".

Viola!

You should now see the default Google Chrome theme again. Which is cool, but you're not Google.

I made this super short video that shows you how to remove any theme in just 8 seconds.

Focus!
How do themes affect my browser?

In short. Themes only change the appearance of your browser not it's functionality. Massively over-large or un-optimized images may sometimes be an issue at start-up if you are on a slow internet connection in my own experience.
What is happening to this site?

Well ... A lot.

Whether it's good or bad, I don't know. I can't really code, but I am great at making themes. So, atleast that's something.

I have added some games and a few extensions too, if you want to try them out.

The backgrounds section is a mess, I know. Maybe, I uploaded to many wallpapers and then I suppose,.. I went over budget with my hosting, I geuss.

I lost a few hundred phone backgrounds there.

Anyway ...

Please bear with me while I get everything up and working again. I don't ever back stuff up and well ... this is what happens apparently.
About 4K, Sizes and My opinion

As you might know or not; For years I have been trying to accommodate people on bigger monitors too, So ... I have quite a few 4K themes in the web store.

However

Recently I have noticed that all the 4K themes seem to be reporting an error message when I try to install them in the store, which is so weird because I trail and test each one that I publish to see if everything is working properly.

This is a new issue ... I can't really say much more about it, because it's a mystery to me too ... but I can quickly tell you that;

When I load the un-packed theme up it works fine ... but for some reason, it does not do the same when you install it through the web store.

So

After testing and testing and testing; this is my own conclusion (if I am still allowed to think for myself) ...

4K themes are not working when you download them in the web store, even though they pass review, somehow.

Everything up until 1920x1080 px does just fine ... but anything bigger and Houston we have a problem.

There are many possible solutions

I may have to switch to a more "pattern" style theme design for all you 4K fans, and if you don't like that then you are gonna have to download the source files and upload the theme manually ... which can seem scary if you don't know how, but I promise it's so easy ... so ... future 4k themes will all be "open source" and publically available to download and alter as you like.

The other option you have is to make use of the cool "customize" feature Google Chrome has, with it you can customize your browser however you like. No Code, No Fuss, No Drama,. Just pick a cool background and color it up yourself. I am planning to do a tutorial on this, but I am still working on a few other things first, should you want to design your own theme from scratch.

I have added a whole bunch of the coolest backgrounds on chromethemer, you can browse them and see if there is anything you like or maybe something sparks up your inspiration.

We are at a crossroad for now. Much like Tom Hanks at the end of Cast Away.

On the flip side

1920 x 1080 is still considered to be HD ... so I try to create these themes to suit most people and that's how it is.

If you are in doubt, just add any theme you like, see if it fits and if it doesn't click "undo" and it's like it never happened.

I am going to work on some new 4K designs soon, I don't know how yet, but please bear with me and I'll get it worked out.

In the meantime feel free to check out what I got done so far.
