Gmail: now customisable.

[Quillz]

I just got the feature enabled on my account. It's better than I thought it was going to be.

[Nagisan]

Woke up just now and I have the themes on my main account now, dont have it on either of my junk accounts (2 of them) yet. Maybe it could be alphabetical? My main accoout would fall before (alphabetically) than both of my other accounts, and it got the themes first. Anyone with an account name below starting with "M" that has the themes yet?

[Minifig]

I just got in.

I love the Shiny theme.

Not sure.

Mine's my full name.

I think the craze is a bit much for their servers. I still haven't received the feature either. Be patient. ^_^

One reason I was so confused is because my brother works on the GMail design team. I thought I'd get almost instant access.

[Snakehn]

got mine enabled today, using the desk theme ;)

[Echilon]

I've been using a GreaseMonkey script to restyle GMail since forever, it's nice they've finally added customization options.

[spacer]

I still got nothing. I declare shenanigins.

[grik]

I just got the Themes, very coolll

[Punio4]

When will they finally add mouseover effects, or middleclick to open a mail in a new tab...

[MrChainsaw]

got mine enabled today, using the desk theme ;)

Yeah I'm using that too, I like that one, it would look good on a touchscreen laptop that you can put the screen down.

[Swiftie]

Got mine enabled when it got rolled out. Using the new Gmail aswell. If you switch to the Old one then you can't see it.

[Minifig]

I wrote my brother complimenting them on the new themes..

He said he didn't have much to do with them at all but if you use the Mountain theme, you'll eventually see a picture of Mt. Rainier in Washington.

He took that picture. :)

[Brandon]

Mine is partially updated. I see some of the enhancements (such as new attachment icons), yet still no themes tab

[bluewind.]

This is awful. I loved how it looked without any themes. Now, even the default seems stretched out and too blue.

[rpgfan]

Yay! Terminal theme! Totally elite!

[Kudo]

I just got the Themes, but I don't like them so I will stick to the default look.

[Shaymuss]

I think the theme's addition gives the use of GMail a 'fresh' new feeling. I think it's a good effort by them overall! :)

[Mathachew Veteran]

Can anyone confirm if this is to strictly Gmail accounts? What about email setup through Google Apps? My two Gmail accounts have themes available, but none of the GApps accounts do.

[raider360]

No themes for me :)

(Russian version)

[MrChainsaw]

Maybe its for "old" members first, as in that time where you had to be invited.

Finally! This was the one thing that made me hate Gmail - The horrible user interface! I know a few people out there, even a blogger on CNET who said that Gmail is for the technological elite and therefore we don't need fancy UIs, etc. How wrong is that!? and how messed up is that logic? I am a software engineer and I much prefer to have a nice design as well as features. Gmail does have some very useful features, but, for me, Hotmail always had the features and the user interface, therefore I used Hotmail because Gmail was to ugly for me.

I may check out Gmail now it has themes like these - some of them look brilliant. As much as I still love the default interface of the new Hotmail and the new features planned (Messenger integration, Windows Live Wave 3 integration altogether, user interface refinements such as placement of the ad changing, etc), I still hate their current lack of Themes and the fact that we can no longer choose different colours of the default theme

Windows Live is better. The theme sucks.

[ToneKnee]

I don't see how WLM is better than Gmail... :s

[david]

Using 'Shiny'. GMail FTW

[Calum Veteran]

I don't see how WLM is better than Gmail... :s

I will probably go into details and compare the features which Hotmail has over Gmail when I have more time, but in reply to your post: I don't see how Gmail is better than Windows Live Hotmail...? :s

There are more than 1 you know.
