Displaying AI/Add-On Themes as Background in Microsoft Edge

Bella Vega 0

When installing AI customized or add-on themes in Microsoft Edge, they appear as downloaded and are listed among other themes. However, opening a new tab still shows a default landmark image instead of the new theme. What steps can be taken to ensure that the installed themes display correctly?

Hi @Bella Vega

Have you switched the Background button in new tab page's Page settings?

I found that if we switched the Background button after installing customized themes, it will show default background in new tab page. Please don't switch the Background button to see if the installed theme display correctly.

Hi there! Thank you for your suggestion—it worked initially, which was great! However, I’ve noticed that after a while, the background seems to switch back to the default landscape theme. Whenever I turn off the background button before changing the theme, it seems to stay for a bit, but eventually, it reverts back. Any advice on how to make the change stick would be appreciated!

Hi @Anonymous

I haven't reproduced the issue yet. How long will it revert back? What about you turn on the background button before changing the theme, will it still revert back?
