Gmail Updates Its Look, Adds Themes

Google's beloved web-based email client has always been ripe for third-party design customization (we've always been partial to the Gmail Redesigned skin in Better Gmail, for example), but now Gmail is officially riding the interface customization train by offering 30-some new themes to spice up your inbox. Keep reading for a screenshot tour of the cool new offerings.

One of my gmail account has been already upgraded with the new themes while other(s) aren't.

Great news.
Hope mine gets updated soon.

Thanks for the info

Yes one of my accounts has been updates too.
Nice improvements even in the classic skin, looks a lot more smooth.

Hope it still remains fast as ever. these new themes might slow down the speed

^^FAST is a bigger priority for me

i've not yet checked the themes, @axxo r these themes anyhow matches iGoogle themes?

It was much needed.

My account has also been updated.

the new default look isn't good

liked the older look better.

None of my accounts has been updated yet, although one of them is 4 years old!! *img117.exs.cx/img117/6721/o4fsad.gif

my acc got updated today mornin itself!!

Mine not updated yet..

Good news

. Can't check mine as of now

the theme feature is a nice addition, but can someone tell me how to change the font color?
with some bluish themes, all the links become invisible :lol:

I don't think you can change the font colours without using 3rd party extensions.
And which theme are you talkng about, cause I think google might have surely paid attention to all these things before putting the theme up for use.

theme: mountains
some stuffs in left panel & the "Show search options & Create a filter" become kinda unnoticeable.
no need to bother, i got bored with that theme, now using "Pebbles".8)

Im sure Google will not overlook that.
Im using the Ninja theme.
But still waiting for my main account to get themes.

sh!tty themes, made it like orkut :/

my account got updated too... there are very few good themes though... may be they will add more later.

Themes have become a standard feature now no matter how old the account is...all accounts have been upgraded including the new ones if anyone happens to create an account.

works in Opera also

i hate :-x

is there any way that to get back the normal log-in page ??

Guys, check out iGoogle page also, they have redesigned the layout. (Ok, not totally, but the tabs are placed at left hand side and links in the page are shown in the sidebar.)

hahaha...looks like some kids are running google now

That sh!tty login page makes up for this.

anybody here who liked the log in page ??

and more importantly, is there any way that i can get the old log in page back ??

The login page sucks!!! What were they thinking??? 1 step forward, 2 steps backward! *gigasmilies.googlepages.com/18a.gif

They still gotta work on that

guys, did you note the change in Google search too? they have added options to change orders and remove search results...

^^No, I don't see any change.
