Tired of pre-selected themes for your Gmail account? No worries, Google has that covered for you now.

Back in November of 2008, themes and colors were announced for Gmail, but there was nothing that you could customize to be closer to a look or feel that was more your own.  According to the official Gmail blog, all of that has now changed for users of the regualr edition of the service.  As with most advancements with Gmail, users of the apps version of the service for business will have to wait a while before they get the new features.  Someday we at StarterTech are hoping to understand why those users have to wait longer for features.

To take advantage of the new colors, you just need to go to “Settings” in the upper right corner of the main screen, click on the “Themes” tab and then you will find “Choose your own colors” at the bottom of the screen. If you end up hating the selections you make, you can always click “Reset” and revert back to the default colors until you try again.
