[Proposal][Appearance » Theme] Make themes profile based

[Carghaez]

Objective

To improve user experience and customization in Edge by introducing profile-based themes, similar to the model currently implemented in Chrome.
Right now in order to set a different theme I have to use the Dev version for the personal profile as shown in the image below

Proposal Details

1. Profile-Based Theming:

• Users can select and apply themes on a per-profile basis.
• Themes selected for one profile won't affect the appearance of other profiles.

2. Theme Store Integration:

• The Edge Theme Store can be integrated in such a way that users can easily choose and apply themes directly while in a specific profile.
• An option can be added under each theme to “Apply to this Profile Only” or “Apply to All Profiles”.

3. Theme Management:

• In the Edge settings menu, a new section can be introduced under "Appearance" named "Profile Themes".
• This section would display all the currently installed themes and allow users to easily manage which profiles have which themes applied.

4. Transition Management:

• When switching profiles, a smooth transition animation can be added to make the theme change less jarring.

5. User Education:

• To ensure users understand the new feature, brief pop-up tutorials or tooltips can be introduced the first time they access their profile settings after the update.
• The Edge Help Center can also be updated with FAQs and guides on the new profile-based theme system.

Benefits

1. Personalization: Allows users to further customize their browsing experience based on their profile's purpose.
2. Convenience: Facilitates users who utilize multiple profiles by offering them a visual distinction between their profiles.
3. User Experience: Aligns Edge with popular browsers like Chrome in terms of theming options, creating a familiar experience for those migrating or using both browsers.

I believe that this shift to profile-based themes will elevate Edge's user experience and customization capabilities, further aligning it with user expectations and the current market standards.
