If you're bored of Microsoft Edge's default design, you can use a theme to personalize it.
Some of these themes allow you to customize your browser using images from Microsoft-owned games such as Microsoft Flight Simulator, Forza Horizon, and Halo. If that's not your thing, you can always choose themes with more eye-soothing designs.
Here, we'll show you how to add a theme to Microsoft Edge.
How to Add Themes
Follow these steps to add a theme in Microsoft Edge:
- Go to the Microsoft Edge Add-ons store.
- From the left-hand menu, select Themes.
- Once you find a theme you like, click its name to read the entire description.
- Select the Get button to install it.
- Click Add theme to confirm the installation.
Once the theme is installed, you can jump right back into using Microsoft Edge. You don't have to restart your browser for the changes to take effect. If you don't like your newly installed theme, click the Undo button from the Installed theme banner displayed at the top of the Microsoft Edge window.
Note: Below the Get button, Microsoft Edge should display the Compatible with your browser message. If this is not the case, you should check or update your Microsoft Edge version.
How to Remove Themes From Microsoft Edge
If you want to replace the current theme, there is no need to uninstall the old one since Edge will take care of it. However, if you want to stop using custom themes altogether, follow these steps:
- Click the three-dot menu from the top-right corner, and then head to Settings.
- Click Appearance.
- Under Theme, select the Default option. It should be first on the list.
Note: When you uninstall or remove a theme, Microsoft Edge deletes the respective data folder from your device. However, you can always manage the downloads yourself.
If you can't find your theme in the Appearance menu, it means the theme was installed as a Microsoft Edge extension. Here is how you can remove it:
- Open Microsoft Edge's menu by clicking the three dots from the top-right corner.
- Select Extensions.
- Click Remove. If you want to temporarily disable the extension, turn off the toggle placed next to its name.
Make Edge Look More Fun
Microsoft Edge allows you to personalize the browser's appearance with themes. Luckily, there are plenty to choose from, and you can easily install, replace, or remove a theme at any time.
