Google Chrome is a well-known web browser that\u2019s famous for its speed, usability, and custom functions. One of its most popular features is the ability to change the look and theme of the Chrome browser to suit your personal preferences.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, some users have reported that Chrome reverts back to the default theme whenever they restart the app. In this tutorial, we\u2019ll explain why the Google Chrome theme keeps changing and how to fix it.\n<\/p>\n\n\n

Why Does My Chrome Theme Keep Changing?\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you add a new theme to Chrome<\/a>, it\u2019ll change the appearance of your toolbar, bookmarks bar, and background image. The problem is, Chrome seems to automatically change themes and color schemes to match the background image \u2014 so if it changes, the whole theme changes.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Worse yet, there seems to be a few variations of this glitch, including:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. The theme changes as soon as you add a new background image<\/a> on the New Tab page. Usually, the color scheme changes to match the new image.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. The theme reverts to default when you restart the Chrome browser.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. The theme resets to default when you restart your device.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Unfortunately, as of the time of writing this article, there\u2019s been no official response from Google as to why this glitch is occurring or how to fix it.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    However, the likely cause is a setting called \u201cCustomize Chrome<\/a> color extraction.\u201d This setting seems to make your homepage color scheme change according to whichever theme you download from the Chrome Web Store.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Another potential reason is that your Chrome settings on different devices are conflicting with each other. Your Chrome theme syncs between Windows, iOS, Mac, and Android devices if they\u2019re logged into the same Google Account. Syncing issues may cause problems with your theme, causing it to revert to default.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How to Stop Google Chrome\u2019s Theme From Changing Automatically\n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    So far, there seem to be three ways to fix the Chrome color-shifting glitch:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Check Chrome\u2019s Customization Settings\n<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Google Chrome\u2019s customizations let you add different themes and custom colors. But, if you leave its settings on default, it will automatically shift these depending on your background images and other changes. To fix this:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Open Google Chrome<\/span> and select Customize Chrome<\/span> <\/span>in the bottom-right corner of the sidebar.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
      \n
      \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
        \n
      1. Select Reset to Classic Chrome<\/span>.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
        \n
        \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

        2. Disable Chrome Flags\n<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

        Google Chrome\u2019s Flags offer users a way to enable and disable certain Chrome features that don\u2019t show up in the settings menu. There are two Chrome Flags which appear to make the Chrome theme<\/a> change automatically. To fix this:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Open Chrome<\/span>.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Type \u201cchrome:\/\/flags\u201d into the search bar and press Enter<\/span>.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. Find Customize Chrome color extraction<\/span> and change its value to \u201cDisabled.\u201d\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
          \n
          \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
            \n
          1. If that doesn\u2019t fix the issue, search for Dynamic color gamut <\/span>and change the value from \u201cDefault\u201d to \u201cDisabled.\u201d Depending on your version of Chrome, this option may not be available.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            3. Reinstall Your Theme\n<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

            If you\u2019re still having issues, you can try to uninstall and reinstall the theme via the Google Web Store:\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            1. Open Chrome<\/span>.\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            2. Select the three vertical dots<\/span> in the top-right corner, then select Settings<\/span> from the pop-up menu.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
              \n
              \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
                \n
              1. Choose Appearance<\/span>.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
                \n
                \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
                  \n
                1. Under \u201cTheme\u201d, select Reset to default<\/span>.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
                  \n
                  \"\"<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
                    \n
                  1. Press Open<\/span> Web Store<\/span>, locate the theme, and select Add to Chrome<\/span>.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
