I’ll be honest here, I uses Gmail email addresses, but I don’t ever login to Gmail. After hearing about their new feature yesterday, I did.

We wanted to go beyond simple color customization, so out of the 30 odd themes we’re launching today, there’s a shiny theme with chrome styling, another one that turns your inbox into a retro notepad, nature themes that change scenery over time, weather driven themes that can rain on your mailbox, and fun characters to keep you in good company… We’ve also done a minor facelift to Gmail’s default look to make it crisper and cleaner — you might notice a few colors and pixels shifted around here and there.

This is actually some really cool stuff here. There’s even an old school ascii theme (Terminal) which was the result of a bet between two engineers. Hey, no one said it had to practical!

Gmail Themes is available to all users- all you have to do is login. Now, go spice up that inbox!
