For now, internal pages like Settings, Home and Extensions are not supported but this stills covers 95% of the use.
Thanks for sharing.
Also you may choose a light background color in chrome://settings/cbBrowsing

I already use both of these. Extensions is a little more than 5% in my book. It's the extensions that hurt my eyes the most, having to open up the settings to anything is awful. Plus, you still get the occasional white background flash when something is loading.

Good to hear, but as far as I'm aware, Cent Browser hasn't updated to Chrome 72 yet, which is being marked as an urgent update due to a security flaw that was discovered. Can you please hurry with the next release?

Oh, indeed I forgot this setting, thanks!
Hey, what's the deal with the --force-dark-mode switch? I just grabbed the beta and tried adding it in the startup command line in settings. The close/min/max buttons changed slightly, but that's it. Tried adding the switch to the taskbar shortcut target, but I see the same thing.
I have the same version of regular Chromium 72.0.3626.121, and if I add the switch, I get a dark URL bar. I know a lot of menus and internal pages aren't dark in v72, but the URL bar definitely should be, right? Why isn't the command line switch working as expected?
Thanks for the update, btw.

Maybe something was not right.
It works well here.
Something's definitely not right, I'm just wondering what it could possibly be. I know how command line switches work, and I'm doing it correctly. Hoping someone can give me some advice, because I've been looking forward to a dark URL bar.
Alright, the only way I can get it working is to uninstall the theme I was using. Seems like the dark URL bar is incompatible with the few themes I tested. Checked the same version of regular Chromium, and it's the same. Only difference is, regular Chromium uninstalls your theme when you start with the command line switch.
Shame, because I really just wanted a dark omnibox. The rest of the default dark theme for the top chrome is nowhere near as nice as a decent third-party dark theme. Canary has no compatibility issues with themes, so I guess that's something to look forward to. I've been looking forward to v72 for dark omnibox in particular, so this is disappointing. At least you hooked up the compact UI, so there's some improvement.
