chrome-dark-mode-linux

This is a workaround fix to an issue where chrome does'nt enable dark mode on linux even when systemwide dark mode is enabled.

Works on any linux distro.

Steps

Run the shell script below in terminal

sudo sed -i 's/^Exec=\/usr\/bin\/google-chrome-stable$/& --enable-features=WebUIDarkMode --force-dark-mode/' /usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop

sudo sed -i 's/%U/--enable-features=WebUIDarkMode --force-dark-mode &/' /usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop

Restart Chrome.

Note

You have to run the shell script again after every chrome update. Only works on chrome stable version.
