Pimp My Mail: GMail Themes

November20

Just this morning I was shocked when I login to my Gmail account.  The color scheme of my Gmail did change! First thing that came into my mind was “Did someone just login into my email?” but then this idea popped up “Ohh!! Google was surprising again” and so I checked GMail’s blogsite and I found out that they’ve spiced up their mail service by providing colors and themes.

It’s just a week passed when they introduced the Video Chat on GMail and now they’re showing more! Kinda cool eh?! We love new things on those things were using on.

How do I change my theme? I’m too excited!!

1.) Upon checking your mail you will notice this Notification Layer located on top of your GMail screen below Google Services. see image below

Or

2.) If you didn’t find the Notification Layer, just go directly to Settings -> Themes

My friend was jealous because I already have this kind of feature on my GMail.  He didn’t have it yet, if you felt the same way with my friend… Just wait for a while, for sure Google will give it to you!

    Like I said almost everywhere else when I read a post about the new GMAiL THEME feature.
    I like the gray one, it suits my feel at the moment I love checking mails in gray while having my WordPress 2.7 Blog at the other tab :p
