is fairly plain, but there are ways to make it your own and liven it up. One way to customize it is by refreshing the overall look with a new theme. Not only can you change the New Tab background but you can also change the overall colors of your tabs, bookmarks bar, and more.

This method only pertains to

Chrome background using a theme. Here, we install a theme you can download from the Chrome Web Store. Themes typically include a custom image that appears on the New tab background and new colors splashed throughout the browser.

First, locate the Theme setting in

Chrome. To do this:

Step 1: Select the three-dot Customize and control

Chrome icon located in the top-right corner.

Step 2: Select the Settings option on the drop-down menu.

Step 3: Select Appearance listed on the left.

Step 4: Choose Theme listed on the right. This action takes you to the Chrome Web Store.

Note: You can also access this setting by typing chrome://settings/appearance in the browser’s address field.

opens in a new tab. Here’s what to do next.

Step 1: Browse the store’s many available themes divided by broad categories. The primary image that you see is typically the image that will appear as your New tab background, so you can use that as a guide for which one to pick. If you need help, these are our favorite themes.

Step 2: Once you select a theme, make sure to check out its preview images and reviews. The Support section (if available for that theme) will also give you information about problems (if any) users have encountered using the theme.

Step 3: Remember, most themes extend their colors and patterns throughout the browser window and tabs, so take a look at the full appearance before installing.

Add it to Chrome

Next, it’s time to add your theme to Chrome. Here’s what to do:

Step 1: If you find something you like, select the blue Add to Chrome button.

Step 2: As Chrome applies the theme, this button should now read Remove from Chrome. You’ll also see a blue Undo button for removing the theme.

Step 3: Take a look at your new theme, which automatically transforms the browser’s appearance. Tabs may or may not change ******, and if you open a new tab, you should see the theme’s primary image.

Step 4: See if you like the overall theme — sometimes you may like the image, but not what it does to your tabs or the colors it adds throughout the browser. If that’s the case, select the Undo button or head back to Appearance in the Settings menu and revert to the default theme.

, just select your desired background. That’s it. It’ll automatically change.

Step 4: When you open a new tab in Chrome, the image now appears on your screen. You can remove it at any time by selecting the Customize button again — it’s merely a pencil icon in this case — and choosing Reset to default Chrome. (You may need to scroll down a bit to see this option.)

Select a ****** and theme

You can select a background picture, or if you want a more personalized look, you can customize your entire Chrome layout. If you don’t know which theme you want to install, do the following:

Step 1: Open a new tab and select the Customize Chrome button in the bottom-right corner.

Step 2: An in-browser window should appear. Under the Change theme button, you’ll see an assortment of complementary ****** swatches — pick your favorite. That’s it: You’ll see the results immediately on your browser.

Step 3: To get rid of your chosen theme, navigate back to the ****** swatches menu and select the swatch labeled Default ****** (it should be the very first one, from the left.)
