This morning I woke up and fire up my browser to check email I got some nice notification when I log on.
Gmail fans have been building unofficial extensions to spice up their inboxes for a while, but up til now themes haven’t been an integral part of Gmail. We wanted to go beyond simple color customization, so out of the 30 odd themes we’re launching today, there’s a shiny theme with chrome styling, another one that turns your inbox into a retro notepad, nature themes that change scenery over time, weather driven themes that can rain on your mailbox, and fun characters to keep you in good company. There’s even an old school ascii theme (Terminal) which was the result of a bet between two engineers — it’s not exactly practical, but it’s great for testing out your geek cred. We’ve also done a minor facelift to Gmail’s default look to make it crisper and cleaner — you might notice a few colors and pixels shifted around here and there.
At the moment you can choose from 30 fabulous themes.
Here is what my Gmail looks like at the moment.
If you still haven’t notice this change, you can check in your Gmail setting. There should be new tab there named “themes”.
The first 15 themes only just color play while the other 15 themes really unique themes. Must be a lot of effort have been put into this. I think all of them really beautiful and I can’t decide which one to use.
REMARK:
If the tab still not appear in your settings maybe you have to wait for a few days. As always Google will roll out the new feature slowly in-case somebody will spot some nasty bug :p

Hi,
Realy fun this features,thanks google.
hi,
how to down load the thems
It is on your setting page.
- Look for the setting link on the top right of your gmail main page
- The themes tab should be the most right tab of your setting page
I believe that themes are not currently available for Internet Explorer users. Apple Safari, Firefox, and Google Chrome users should all have access to Themes. Even though Google claims to be rolling it out to specific users “over the next few days”, it seems to be a browser-dependent function (which is expected).
If you want the Themes sooner than later, you’ll have to use something other than IE. This was tested using a single Gmail account, and Windows XP. I just wanted to give people a heads up if they’re searching for why the “Themes” option isn’t displaying.
Sincerely,
Joe
It is available for IE too.. just the themes not display correctly as other standard browser (FF, Chrome, etc..)
