Gmail users can soon use custom themes

[JMH]

Gmail users have been able to change the background themes on the Gmail.com webpage for several years now. However, they have always been at the mercy of Google's own choices for colors, designs and pictures. That will all change later this week. In a new post on the official Gmail blog, Google announced that soon users will be able to put in their own background themes.

The video above gives an example of how custom themes can be put into action on Gmail. The post says that:

You can upload your own images directly, select from your Google+ photos or simply paste any image URL. Or, if you don't have a particular image in mind, you can browse our searchable Featured Photos section to find one that speaks to you.

Gmail: Now With Custom Themes

Google is adding custom themes to Gmail.

Gmail’s web interface has long offered themes, allowing you to change its appearance to suit your whims, but choices were limited to the few canned options Google made available. The color schemes in Gmail themes are still limited to Google’s picks, but now Google is allowing users to upload their own images to create custom backgrounds.

To try out the new options head to Gmail’s settings menu and click the Themes link. Then look for the Custom Themes section where you’ll see a link to “Change your background image.”
