To find a new theme, visit the Themes section of the Chrome Web Store. This will show you everything Google has to offer. You can go from something as simple as a solid color to something more complex like a work of art.
When you find something you like, click on it. In the upper right corner you will see a Add to Chrome button. Click it to apply the theme.

How to change the search engine on Chrome (desktop)
For obvious reasons, Google has preset your Chrome’s default search engine to Google.com. However, if you prefer to use another search engine (eg DuckDuckGo), you can easily switch. Then all future search queries in the URL address bar will be automatically redirected to the search engine of your choice.
Go to Chrome settings again and click on the Search engine tongue. Pull down the small menu on the right and select the search engine you want.
