how to customize chrome theme per window

Question

I usually have three chrome windows open. To easily distinguish my work chrome from the personal chrome window, I would like to set a theme to one window, and another theme to other windows.

I figure out how to change the theme globally, wondering whether its possible to it per window.

You may want to refer on this [documentation](https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/themes) — LexJulienne, Jan 03 '16 at 17:15
Yeah I would like to change the Chrome theme programmatically. The linked documentation talks about setting the theme with manifest.json, but I need to change the theme dynamically. — Alexander Mills, Jan 08 '18 at 19:44
and what about sharing bookmarks between profiles ( I have a shared set and a individual set of bookmarks.... — U.V., Feb 02 '23 at 11:59

Use different profiles. You can do this in chrome by clicking the Proflile icon in the top-right of any window. It'll ask you to log in with your Google account but you're able to make a local account with any name.

I use one for personal (personal google account), one for work (work google account), and a third with no google account for risky or other website browsing (which has more aggressive blocking rules)

You can launch a specific profile with the command line flag `--profile-directory=Default` – Tom McKenzie Aug 15 '17 at 03:53

I do have in mind 2 options, since I really want to easily identify them.

You can add name to your window, not so noticeable since only shows on hover on mac.

You can also group all the tabs in that window, to give it a bit of a different color

which you can see here. blue and red. Bit noticeable.

for windows users, can you try this options, it might be better there.

I did some research into this issue, and it seems the only way to do this is to open different browsers e.g - firefox for presonal stuff, chrome for work etc... will be happy to see a better solotion though...
