        I can't' believe it but I actually have the theme section in edge!!

         

        It is so cool and it seems the addon store has updated as well.


        The theme section is missing a few themes though like the twilight msf flight.

    Ran into one slight problem when installing this theme. 

     

    It changed the download icon on the tool bar to the same as the history icon. 

     

    When uninstalling the theme, the icon did not convert back to its original icon. 

     

    Even after restarting Edge 2 times and rebooting my system, the icon remains to be the history icon....   Have sent in Feedback on this issue...

      Oh, have you tried installing another theme to see if it reverts the change back?

      Have you tried uninstalling Edge Canary, I know that is the last resort. You could keep trying to revert it back or contact Insider Edge Support if they can help 🙂

      If not, uninstalling Canary or Dev and making sure sync is on and reisnstlal and remove all history nd stuff when prompted.

        Speaking for myself, uninstalling edge canary, because of a simple icon mishap is not an option. I let the team know and others who check in on forums of potential problems they might run into as I have and will also post what works to change things back. But uninstalling is never an option... 😉

        Thanks though for your input.

    HotCakeX - Has any documentation been released to describe how users can create their own themes?  I can't seem to find any, but I may not be searching with the correct terms.

      I don't think there is any documentation yet since they may not release it till it is fully released like controlled rollout is over?

       

      Not sure, I think very soon.

       

      Maybe it is close to how you make it on chrome?

        "Has any documentation been released to describe how users can create their own themes? I can't seem to find any, but I may not be searching with the correct terms."

        Not that I know of, for now it looks like Microsoft is the only one that makes the themes, once they enable theme submission, the process should be similar to how you submit extensions i assume.
  • Since the Microsoft Edge Themes have been released in the Edge Addons Store for a while now, is there a Tutorial for creating Themes like there is for creating Addons for Edge? If not, this would be a wonderful thing to add. I am going to try my hand at creating a couple of Themes and see how well it works out.
