Add Themes section to Microsoft Addons store

Now that we can officially add themes to Microsoft Edge browser in Canary channel (soon in all channels), I think we should have some themes in Microsoft's own Addons store which is this: https://mi...

I completely agree.

Themes matter a lot to people who like to personalise their software. I am sure Microsoft is working on adding themes to the Microsoft Edge Add-ons store. I hope they will allow third-party themes to be uploaded as well, so that there is a greater range to choose from.

 

Themes can be installed from the Chrome Webstore as well. However, not every user enables installation from third-party stores. So, it will be great to have access to themes on the official add-ons store.

 

I also feel that the experience on downloading themes from the Chrome Webstore is buggy sometimes: for example, the title color is frequently wrong. So, I believe that Microsoft should also work on improving support for themes from Chrome Webstore. This will have twin-benefits, because then, many themes from there can simply be ported to the Edge Add-ons store as well. 

 

And lastly, I really want the ability to change the shape of the omnibox (URL bar), tabs etc. This will lift the experience to a whole new level because  all we can do with themes at present is to change the color of a few UI elements of the browser.

 

I also hope that taking the above suggestion into consideration, Microsoft publishes an "Edge Legacy theme".:hearteyes:
