Google Brings Style to Gmail with Themes
Greetings Readers!
Have you ever found yourself wishing that your wonderful Gmail wasn’t so plain? Do you think it needs some color or some cool background images? You are in luck! Google has unveiled a new feature that allows users to add themes to Gmail. Now you can spice up your gmail with all kinds of cool themes!
There are currently 31 themes to choose from, ranging from a ninja theme to a space theme. Personally, I use the Mountains theme on one account and the Planets theme on another. What is really cool about these themes is that they change several times a day, so they never get old. I find that the Mountain theme changes to match the lighting for the particular time of day, which is really cool!
How do you get your hands on these wonderful themes? Go into your Gmail Settings page and there is a tab called Themes and you can select whatever theme you want to use. Like everything Google, it is as simple as can be! While they don’t add any major functionality to Gmail, its a nice change of scenery. I will warn you, some of them make it a little harder to read the text because of the colors involved. Below is just a sample of some of the new Gmail themes.
Some of the new Gmail Themes!
Are you using Gmail themes? What theme is your favorite? Tell me in the comments!
