On Microsoft Edge, themes allow you to personalize the browser’s look and feel and the new tab page with custom colors and background images. Also, if you use multiple profiles, themes can help you to separate the different profiles visually.
If you want to personalize the browser, Microsoft Edge supports themes from two sources. You can install them from the Chrome Web Store, including themes with different colors and many with different background images. And you can now get themes from the Edge-Add-ons page, which features Halo, Forza Horizon, Microsoft Flight Simulator, and many other themes.
In this guide, you will learn the steps to add themes to the Chromium version of Microsoft Edge on Windows 10.
