Google-chrome – Change Background Colour to White in Chrome’s Incognito

colorsgoogle-chromegoogle-chrome-extensions

Now that Google is under progress to apply Material Design on its products, it'd be nice of them if they didn't use a dark background for Chrome's Incognito new tabs.

So does anyone know a way to change the background colour in Incognito tabs to white? I already tried few themes that didn't work.

Chrome is up to date, running under Windows 10 64-bit, and no specific pages on start-up.

NOTE: For the people who are suggesting, or will be suggesting, using Chrome's flags in chrome://flags/, this won't work and see it for yourselves:

Download this theme from the Chrome Web Store and add it to Chrome; it should resolve your problem, although the message in the centre "You’ve gone incognito" will still be on a dark background.

I just wrote a quick Greasemonkey script that checks the computed style of the body element and changes it to black (you probably want to choose a different colour):

(function () {
    if (window.getComputedStyle(document.body, null).getPropertyValue("background-color") == "rgb(255, 255, 255)") {
        console.log("Setting new background color...");
        document.body.setAttribute("style", "background-color: #000000;");
    }
})();

The problem with these types of things is that unless websites are designed extremely well, there will be blotches of white on black.

I write a short tampermonkey script to automatically insert css rule to newtab, and it works as expected:

// @match        https://*/_/chrome/newtab*
// @grant        GM_addStyle
GM_addStyle("body.des-mat { height: 100%; }");

Hope it can help you!

EDIT: Chrome on my PC bumped up from v65.0.3325.146 to v65.0.3325.162. Google seems to change the source code of the newtab in this minor new version and this script is not working at this moment.

EDIT2: Latest Chromium(v67.0.3371.0) doesn't have this bug, so just Wait for new version of Chrome or switching to Chromium.
