Unfortunately, Google Chrome's built-in dark mode feature is not available for Windows 7 as it reached its end-of-life status in January 2020 and is no longer supported by Google Chrome. However, there are alternative methods you can try to achieve a dark mode effect for webpages in Chrome on Windows 7. Here's one possible approach:

1. Install an extension: Visit the Chrome Web Store using your Chrome browser and search for a dark mode extension. Some popular options include "Dark Reader," "Midnight Lizard," or "Dark Mode." Choose an extension that suits your preferences.

2. Select an extension: Open the extension's page in the Chrome Web Store and click on the "Add to Chrome" or "Install" button to install the extension.

3. Configure the extension: Once the extension is installed, you may have the option to customize its settings. These settings can usually be accessed by clicking on the extension's icon in the Chrome toolbar and exploring the available options. You may be able to adjust brightness, contrast, and other parameters according to your liking.

4. Test the dark mode: Visit a webpage to see if the dark mode is applied. The extension should automatically modify the page's appearance to provide a dark theme.

Remember that these extensions modify the appearance of webpages and may not work perfectly on every site. Some websites may have their own design elements that are not compatible with the extension, resulting in an inconsistent dark mode experience.

Additionally, since Windows 7 is no longer supported, it's recommended to consider upgrading to a more recent version of Windows to ensure you have access to the latest features, security updates, and support from software providers.

Yes, you can enable dark mode in Firefox without adding extension.

Windows offers a setting named Dark Mode that applies a dark theme to apps you get from the Windows Store. It doesn’t affect most desktop apps, but we’ve got some other solutions for those. Here’s how to get your whole desktop (or as much as possible) looking dark.

Enable Dark Mode for Windows 10 Settings and Apps

To enable Dark Mode, head to Settings > Personalization > Colors. Scroll down and select the “Dark” option under the “Choose your app mode” section.

The Settings application itself immediately turns dark, as will many other “Universal Windows Platform” applications (those you get from the Windows Store). However, it’s up to each developer to support Dark Mode, and many do not. And, as we mentioned before, this option doesn’t affect most desktop applications. Those remain white. A few desktop applications, including File Explorer and http://Paint.NET, do respect this setting—but most don’t.

Enable Dark Mode in Microsoft Edge

The Microsoft Edge web browser included with Windows 10 also has a dark theme. However, its dark theme option is entirely separate from the Dark Mode option in Settings for some reason.

To activate the dark theme in Edge, click the menu button on the toolbar (the icon with three dots at the far right side), and then select the “Settings” option. In the “Choose A Theme” drop-down menu, choose the “Dark” option.

Note that the title bar, toolbars, and menus for Edge turn dark, but web pages themselves remain unaffected. You’ll need a browser extension like Turn Off the Lights to make the whole web dark.

You can also set your theme separately in the Groove music player, Movies & TV video player, and Photos apps. However, they’ll use your system theme setting by default. You don’t have to change the setting manually, as you do with Edge.

Enable the Dark Theme in Microsoft Office

Microsoft Office also contains a dark theme that isn’t enabled by default and must be manually enabled.

To choose the dark theme, open an Office application like Word or Excel and head to File > Options. On the “General” tab, look for the click the “Personalize your copy of Microsoft Office” section and set the “Office Theme” drop-down there to the “Black” option.

Your theme choice applies to all Office applications. So, if you set this option in Word and later open Excel, Excel should also use a dark theme.

Install Dark Themes for Chrome, Firefox, and Other Applications

Many other Windows desktop applications have their own theming options and engines. For example, to use a dark theme in Google Chrome, you’ll need to head to Google’s Chrome themes site and install a dark theme. Firefox includes a built-in dark theme you can enable.

For example, we installed the Morpheon Dark theme for Chrome. It makes Chrome look much more at home on a dark-themed desktop.

Some websites, including YouTube and Gmail, let you choose a dark theme for that website. For other websites, you’ll need to install a browser extension that turns the whole web dark.

You’ll have to check to see whether the applications you frequently use offer their own theme options.

Enable a Dark Theme for Windows Desktop Applications

The real problem with the new Dark Mode setting is that it doesn’t affect the Windows desktop theme at all. Desktop applications like File Explorer continue using the normal, light theme.

Windows has a built-in dark theme for desktop applications, but it probably isn’t ideal. To enable it, head to Settings > Ease of Access > High Contrast. On the right, enable the “Turn on High Contrast” option and set the “Choose a Theme” dropdown to the “High Contrast Black” setting. Click “Apply” to save the setting.

Setting this high contrast theme makes most desktop applications show a dark background. However, they don’t look all that great. High contrast themes are an accessibility feature designed to increase contrast, so the screen is easier to read and understand. They don’t look nearly as slick as a modern dark theme would.

RELATED: How to Install Custom Themes and Visual Styles in Windows

If you want a slicker dark theme for other desktop applications, you’ll have to resort to a third-party app. While there are a few out there, we’re big fans of WindowBlinds from Stardock (the same people that make apps like Fences and Start10). The app costs $9.99, but there’s a free 30-day trial, so you can see if it’s right for you.

And the nice part is, when you apply a theme in WindowBlinds, it applies to everything—UWP apps, desktop apps, dialog boxes, you name it.

After installing it, fire it up and head to the “Style” tab. To apply a theme, just select the one you want, and then click the “Apply Style To Desktop” button.

WindowBlinds doesn’t have a built-in dark theme (though some built-in themes are darker than others). You can always create your own by clicking the “Modify Style” link under any theme. You can adjust pretty much anything you can think of there. But, there’s an easier way.

Just head to the WindowBlinds section of the WinCustomize site. There, you’ll find all kinds of WindowBlinds-compatible skins you can download. After downloading one, double-click the file and the theme is added to the “Style” tab in WindowsBlinds so that you can apply it (or customize it) from there.

Here’s a shot of File Explorer with the Dark Mode skin (our favorite of the various dark themes on the site) applied through WindowBlinds:

Not bad, right? And with a little tweaking, you could make it look just the way you want.

Like many parts of Windows 10, Dark Mode feels a bit incomplete. Microsoft could include a dark theme option for Windows desktop applications, and the interface would look more cohesive. For now, though, this is what we’ve got. At least Microsoft has made the dark theme apply to File Explorer.

Adding a dark mode to a website involves changing the website's color scheme and possibly other design elements to make it suitable for low-light environments. Here are some steps to consider when adding a dark mode to your website:

1. Determine the color scheme: Decide on the colors you want to use for your dark mode. A good rule of thumb is to use darker shades of the existing color palette.
2. Create a separate stylesheet: Create a separate stylesheet for your dark mode. This stylesheet should contain the rules for the new color scheme.
3. Toggle switch: Add a toggle switch to your website to allow users to switch between light and dark modes. You can use JavaScript to implement this functionality.
4. Set the color scheme: Use the CSS media query to detect whether the user has selected the dark mode and then apply the styles from the dark mode stylesheet.

Here is an example of how to create a toggle switch for a dark mode:

HTML:

javascriptCopy code<label class="switch"> 
  <input type="checkbox"> 
  <span class="slider round"></span> 
</label> 

CSS:

cssCopy code.switch { 
  position: relative; 
  display: inline-block; 
  width: 60px; 
  height: 34px; 
} 
 
.switch input {  
  opacity: 0; 
  width: 0; 
  height: 0; 
} 
 
.slider { 
  position: absolute; 
  cursor: pointer; 
  top: 0; 
  left: 0; 
  right: 0; 
  bottom: 0; 
  background-color: #ccc; 
  -webkit-transition: .4s; 
  transition: .4s; 
} 
 
.slider:before { 
  position: absolute; 
  content: ""; 
  height: 26px; 
  width: 26px; 
  left: 4px; 
  bottom: 4px; 
  background-color: white; 
  -webkit-transition: .4s; 
  transition: .4s; 
} 
 
input:checked + .slider { 
  background-color: #2196F3; 
} 
 
input:focus + .slider { 
  box-shadow: 0 0 1px #2196F3; 
} 
 
input:checked + .slider:before { 
  -webkit-transform: translateX(26px); 
  -ms-transform: translateX(26px); 
  transform: translateX(26px); 
} 

JavaScript:

javascriptCopy codeconst toggleSwitch = document.querySelector('.switch input[type="checkbox"]'); 
function switchTheme(e) { 
    if (e.target.checked) { 
        document.documentElement.setAttribute('data-theme', 'dark'); 
    } 
    else { 
        document.documentElement.setAttribute('data-theme', 'light'); 
    }     
} 
toggleSwitch.addEventListener('change', switchTheme, false); 

Finally, add CSS media queries to switch the styles when the user selects the dark mode:

scssCopy code@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) { 
  /* dark mode styles */ 
} 
 
[data-theme="dark"] { 
  /* dark mode styles */ 
} 

Note: This is just an example, the actual implementation may vary depending on your website's design and framework.

Apply a Dark Theme :-
Chrome supports user-created themes, which you can download from the Chrome Web Store. To give Chrome a dark interface, all you have to do is install a dark theme. Google now offers some official Chrome browser themes, including a “Just Black” dark mode theme. You may want to give that a try.
If you ever want to switch back to Chrome’s default theme you can, click menu > Settings. Look for the Themes option under appearance and click “Reset to Default.

Install a Dark Mode Extension :-
A theme changes your browser’s interface, but most websites use white backgrounds.If you want dark mode for websites as well you must go for extensions.
To get a dark mode for the entire web, install the Dark Reader extension from the Chrome Web Store.
This extension automatically applies a dark style to every web page you visit, and you can click the Dark Reader button on your toolbar to adjust it.
