Aah now I see what you're talking about, well that picture won't be available on Edge, that's normal. that is a 3rd party site, not official chrome web store or Microsoft Addons store (no themes in there Yet) so there is no official support for them,

also whoever made that theme was probably targeting Google chrome and not Edge. the UI is very different.

Edge browser's NTP is different, it supports daily pictures and custom pictures that users can set.

you can download that image or search for it in Bing and set it manually for the NTP

HotCakeX I got that website from here in the community. So what you are saying it might be different from the actual chrome web store? Also how would I download a picture and set it as part of the theme?

    Thanks, it's best to wait a bit more until they expand the rollout and make it available more broadly
