Default Gmail Updates Its Look, Adds Themes


Google's beloved web-based email client has always been ripe for third-party design customization (we've always been partial to the Gmail Redesigned skin in Better Gmail, for example), but now Gmail is officially riding the interface customization train by offering 30-some new themes to spice up your inbox. Keep reading for a screenshot tour of the cool new offerings.

One of my gmail account has been already upgraded with the new themes while other(s) aren't.

the theme feature is a nice addition, but can someone tell me how to change the font color?
with some bluish themes, all the links become invisible

I don't think you can change the font colours without using 3rd party extensions.
And which theme are you talkng about, cause I think google might have surely paid attention to all these things before putting the theme up for use.

Thumbs up Re: Gmail Updates Its Look, Adds Themes

Guys, check out iGoogle page also, they have redesigned the layout. (Ok, not totally, but the tabs are placed at left hand side and links in the page are shown in the sidebar.)
