Gmail Themes Available on Release

Posted by Pahn | Posted in design | Posted on 21-11-2008

Wow, just few moments ago (probably an hour), I was still browsing my Gmail on default settings. Until my next click suddenly prompted that Themes are already available. 

So I decided to check it out and found the Themes so amusing. I researched a little bit, and learned that these themes would actually interact according to your location. If it is sunny day, rainy, morning or night, depending on the Theme you would select.

I actually love the different Themes, and decided to choose “Planet” theme. And thought many girls would love the “Candy” or “Cherry Blossom” theme.

I was using a Safari Web Browser when this happen. So I decided to check my other accounts using Firefox, but they were not yet available on my other accounts. Probably the GMail team is changing one by one from there servers. 

If you actually missed the announcement from your account and wanted to check if they are available to you, you may check my other post on How To Change GMail Theme.
