- 1
Download it
On chartskins.com/download, scroll to the browser extension and click Download extension. You get a .zip file.

Unzip it somewhere permanent
Double-click the .zip. Move the ChartSkins folder that appears to Documents (not Downloads, which people often clear). Chrome runs ChartSkins from this folder, so keep it.

Open your extensions page
Type chrome://extensions in the address bar and press Enter. (Edge: edge://extensions · Brave: brave://extensions · Opera: opera://extensions.)

Turn on Developer mode, then Load unpacked
Switch on Developer mode (top right), click Load unpacked (top left), and pick the ChartSkins folder you just moved.

- 5
Pin it and sign in
Click the puzzle-piece icon in Chrome’s toolbar and pin ChartSkins. Click it and sign in with the same email as your account.

- 6
Open a chart
Open any chart on tradingview.com. Your skin is already behind the candles.

Good to know
- • Chrome may show a “Disable developer mode extensions” bubble when it starts. Click the X; ChartSkins keeps working.
