Where can I access and manage downloaded themes in Google Chrome
I downloaded and installed several themes on Google Chrome. Now how can I see the list of themes that I just downloaded? And how can I switch to one of them without downloading it again?
AFAIK there is no way to manage themes like you would apps that you have downloaded. Once you click on "Choose Theme" it will download the crx and then overwrite whatever theme you had previously installed.
By going to Settings you will see a section called Appearance, however the only revert option is to revert to default.
One way of keeping, managing, and sharing the themes you choose is to go tot he themes page and share the theme you are installing with either your Gmail or Google+. This will at least provide a way to track which themes you like, and it will keep all of the links to the themes in 1 place. Here are the steps to share with a blank circle to keep it private.
- Go to
Settings > Appearance - Select "Get Themes"
- Find one you want and hover over the card. Next to the "Choose Theme" button, select the "Share" button
- Share the theme with Google+
- Choose to share the theme with a Circle that only you are a member of, that way all the posts will be visible only by you
Now when you visit Google+ (or Gmail if you choose to share via email) you will have a list of all the themes you've tried or want to try in the future.
- Go to the Chrome Web Store
-
Click the settings icon in the top right:
- Select Your Apps
Here are the steps to see installed/downloaded extensions/themes:
- Open Google Chrome browser and login into it or alternatively login into Google Account by using which you have downloaded the extensions/themes.
- Open My Extensions & Apps.
- Under "Installed" tab, you will find the list of active extensions/themes. The currently installed theme shows up here. Under "Library" tab you will find the list of downloaded but not in use extensions/themes. The previously installed themes shows up here.
You can create a "theme manager" of a sort. Find the theme you want in the store. Click it one time. The description window will open. Bookmark this link. In the bookmark tab create a new folder and label it themes. Now when you want to go back to a previous theme all you need to do is go to your bookmarks. You are all finished. Simply bookmark each theme into this folder as you find them. Oh, its easier to access them if you enable the bookmarks bar. I sincerely hope this helps.
Sign in to your Google account.
Either go to https://chrome.google.com/webstore/user/purchases#themes > Themes directly or through chrome://settings > Get themes button.
Your history of the installed themes are in plain sight.
