Description of the issue:
My browser theme does not reset back to default. I installed “Dark Theme for Google Chrome”, it turned everything dark, to the point where Wikipedia is not readable anymore.
I have tried resetting theme and resetting all settings, it has not solved the issue.
Setting Brave to light mode does not help either.
I’ve tried installing other themes but they don’t help either.
To reset the theme I went to Settings > Appearance > Theme > Reset to default
To reset my settings I went to SEttings > Additional settings > Reset settings > Restore settings to their original defaults
I’ve tried installing it on Chrome but the theme doesn’t seem to work. I’ve installed it but nothing has gone dark so I’m not quite sure what’s going on
I’d recommend that you reinstall Brave, then. Do not uninstall Brave, lest you want to lose your data. Instead, delete the old installer, then download and run a new one.
Hi @Frazic,
Can you test a new private window to see if there are still issues with the theme?
Can you also try creating a new test profile and see if there are still issues?
I’ve done both suggested things and the issue still persists.
A strange part of this issue that I’ve noticed, and it may or may not help : this is in google sheets, the colour “light yellow” among others is super dark.
Can you try going back to the chrome web store, installing a random theme. Once installed you should see a prompt at the top to ‘undo’, please click the undo prompt and see if it reset your Brave theme to normal.
Try again, but instead of undo, go into settings and click reset theme.
If that doesn’t work,
Can you try resetting settings via brave://settings/reset.
Hi @Frazic,
So themes are installed in the extensions folder. Even when you disable a theme it’s not removed.
Can you try going into this folder and deleting the theme from there?
path: C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Local\BraveSoftware\Brave-Browser\User Data\Default\Extensions
The folder names make it hard to tell what each extension is.
You’ll have to open each one and see if there are any files with theme in the name. If so, you can prob delete the entire folder.
You could also delete all folders but that means you’ll have to reinstall extensions.
Great idea, thanks for showing me where the actual files are I found a folder for each of my extensions and recognised them by looking at the contents of each one’s manifest.json but unfortunately there wasn’t one for the theme.
