Google Themes

[pvtbones]

Anyone else notice the new feature on your google personal homepage? on the right theres the called Select Theme. you have to enter in your location(city, province/state or postal code) so the day/night system will update as the day progresses.

I'm using the Cityscape

More Internet detective work:

It appears they've only implemented it to the www.google.com

Go here: http://www.google.com/ig?hl=en and log into a gmail account and then select a theme.

That looks pretty cool. I want it on .co.uk

Yeah It's pretty neat. Adds some needed color to the normal boring page.

if I used my personalized page, I'd say yay...but it takes too long to load imo.

Only takes a second or two for me.

Ah.

I was wondering when they were going to implement a background thing. The night sky one is awesome. It changes dynamically with your location.

a second or two is longer than the .0001 it takes for it to load normally..
This is based off of it being my homepage, which I use about:blank. I have the google toolbar in FireFox for gods sake, why go to google.com?

 

[Qonfused]

I don't even notice a slight lag when loading the Google homepage.

It's aesthetic, it's not like they're trying to say it's useful; and welcome to the internet, lol
