Google added a new Gmail Themes feature on Wednesday, Nov 20th, that will allow you to Customize the look and feel of your Gmail Account.

Currently you have a choice of abut 30 new gmail themes that can be accessed via Settings > Themes (check out the details below). At present they do not allow you to create your own customized themes. Gmail will soon allow you to come with your own customized themes since this is just the beginning of the experiment.

These new themes are definitely a big improvement over the old boring style. I’m currently using the “Shiny theme“, which I feel is very sleek, clean and professional.

Why can’t I see this new Gmail Themes Feature in my Account

Google usually takes some time to actually roll-out these things. I wonder how long it will be before this actually goes live. They are gradually rolling out the themes for Gmail starting with its selected users, and will be available to all in a couple of days.

Check for more details here on the official Gmail blog.

How to Change your Gmail theme

• Login to your Gmail Account
• Click on the Settings link (on the top right corner)
• You will see an additional ‘Themes tab‘ as the last tab of your Settings Area. If you don’t see the new ‘Themes’ tab, just wait a while. Google is still rolling out their theme feature to its large user base.
• Click on any theme from the list of themes and your new preferences will be saved.
• You can always switch back to the previous theme by selecting “Classic” in the Theme Settings page.
  

Wait.. Google is not done yet. Google is said to also integrate Social networking functionality to your Gmail Accounts very soon.
