Google has released an iGoogle Themes API, giving designers the ability to create their own iGoogle Theme. With the iGoogle Themes API, developers can design and share a theme with the tens of millions of iGoogle users around the world, providing even more options for users to customize their iGoogle experience. To jumpstart the development, and for the a little bit of inspiration, Google has also released custom themes from innovative designers Yves Behar, Mark Frauenfelder, Troy Lee and John Maeda. A new themes directory, similar to the Google Gadgets directory, has also been created.

I personally use the ones at Bonstio.net They are released quite often and have lots of themes already. It is a plugin for the igoogle home page, but works pretty well.

I'll make one with a background image of a picture of the google search box so that the user doesn't know which box is real.
