Use chrome theme in canary build guide
- Ensure you’re using the latest canary version 81.0.395.0 or higher, right-click on its desktop shortcut, select properties.
- In the Target field, after msedge.exe” add “–enable-features=msAllowThemeInstallationFromChromeStore” (Without quotes)
- Click ok and Apply
Once done, head to the Themes section in the Chrome Web Store and click on “Add to Chrome” to download the theme you want.
HotCakeX it was exactly like your screenshot except I stuck –enable-features=msAllowThemeInstallationFromChromeStore to the end.
I'm a software developer so I know how CLI flags work.
Although looking closely at your screenshot I now see it has a double dash for the —profile-directory flag so maybe this requires a double dash to. I just copied and pasted what's in the OP which only has a single dash, or maybe actually some odd character as it looks slightly longer than a normal dash in this post.
I'll try again and pay close attention to that instead of copying and pasting.
I think this is important to note:
you mentioned click OK and Apply but it should be the other way around.
in fact when a user presses OK without Apply, it won't work. (I tried it myself just now because I was scratching my head why it's not working)
Plus it's not even possible to first press OK and then press Apply because the window disappears.
so first press Apply and then press OK
An import reminder: you will need to reset Microsoft Edge to get rid of it. it can be done from here:

Well I don't know how that specific theme should look like on chrome to compare it to how it looks like in Edge canary..do you have screenshot of that and the link to the theme?
