[Tip] Google Seems Rolling Out New Dark Theme Mode for its Search Engine to Public

Google was testing a secret Dark Theme mode for its Search engine since a few months and now it seems the company has started rolling out Dark theme for Google Search to public. We got the new Dark theme mode in Google Search activated recently in Google Chrome web browser.

The new Dark Theme mode brings a dark or Black user interface to Google Search website. The background color changes to Black and the font color including Google logo is changed to White.

It’s a good news for dark UI lovers who use Dark theme or Dark mode in Windows and software programs. Now-a-days almost all operating systems and apps come with built-in Dark theme mode.

There is no way to force or manually activate or enable Dark theme mode in Google Search. The option to turn on/off Dark theme will be available to you only when Google rolls out Dark theme for your Google account.

Once your account receives new Dark theme mode, you’ll see following message or banner at the top of Google Search page:

If you click on “No thanks” button, the notification message will disappear. To activate and enable Dark theme mode, click on “Turn on” button.

Once you click on “Turn on” button, Google Search will open Search Settings page and you’ll see a new “Appearance” tab added to Settings page which was not available in past.

If you are using Dark theme mode in your operating system such as Windows (More info), you can select “Device default” option and Google Search will respect your operating system Dark mode setting and will apply Dark theme.

If you are not using Dark theme in operating system but want to enjoy new Dark theme mode in Google Search, select “Dark theme” option.

If you want to keep using default light theme mode in Google Search, select “Light theme” option.

Click on “Save” button to apply changes.

Google webpage will show “Your preferences have been saved” notification popup in address bar. Click on OK button to dismiss it.

That’s it. You’ll have new Dark theme mode activated and enabled in Google Search website.

PS: In future, if you decide to restore White or Light theme mode in Google Search, click on Settings (Cog wheel) icon present at the top-right corner of Google Search page and select “Search settings” option. It’ll open Google Search settings page. Now go to Appearance tab and select “Light theme” option and click on Save button to reset Google Search theme to default light mode.
