Since Google Chrome 74, you can now enable dark mode in Google Chrome on Windows 10. But, by default, this only works if you turn on dark for the default app mode on Windows 10.

You may prefer the light mode on Windows 10 while still running the dark theme version of Google Chrome. Fortunately, you can force Chrome always run in Dark Mode.

Copy and paste the following into the 'Target' field.

----------

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --force-dark-mode


OR you can simply type this at the end of the text field.

--force-dark-mode
