Back when Gmail was first launched, it was the cleanest among all other webmail providers. Ever since then, Gmail’s interface hasn’t significantly changed. Starting today, Gmail Team has started rolling out themes to their users. You can choose between 30 different themes to customize your inbox.

If themes have been rolled out to your account, you’ll see a “New! Colours and themes” message when you log into Gmail. You can change the theme from the settings page. Just like iGoogle themes, some Gmail themes might ask your location to dynamically update the theme based on time and location.

The default Gmail theme has also been improved a little to make it look crisp and clean. Which is your favorite Gmail theme?

  1. I love it. I really wanted to like the mountains theme, and even used it for a day, but in the end the chrome theme won out.

  2. I had posted a comment which seems to have disappeared! Am I the only one who still uses the good old fashioned Outlook Express? I am very comfortable with it and I am unlikely to change. My gmail mail is set to automatically divert incoming mail to the Outlook Express. I find its folder and other facilities more convenient than the label system of the Gmail themes.

  3. PLEASE ….PLEASE…. PLEASE……

  5. Yup, I only saw them sunday night though and loaded the outerspace view of earth theme to my gmail account. It’s quite awesome. ;-)

  6. I like the blue color more. However the change is good. I guess to compete with other email provider. Note~ Yahoo! :)
    Emm…Seems like yahoo mail keeps running to small probs.

  7. Not sure why I didn’t spot this when you posted Thilak, sorry. Where have you been, no new stuff for a while now?

  8. I love these new themes… Now I check my emails twice as much just because i like the look haha

  9. The best just keeps on improving! Gmail is an awesome service, and their spam protection is particularly good, the main reason for my using their service. This just adds such a nice new customizable dimension to their offering, making criticism of their bland interface obsolete.

  10. Yes, I liked these new things in Gmail. I take this post.

  11. Cool stuff, I will have to check out the new GMail themes now. =)

  12. this is great, now, the only additional thing I would ask to to allow me to read more than 5 different email accounts.

  13. ya.. Really cool themes have come out recently.. But i love the Classic look of gmail more than anythng…
