Ever since Google let us choose our own colors in the Gmail interface, weâve been rocking a garish crimson motif, but there was something missing. Why couldnât we choose our own photos as backgrounds? Now we can.
Our wish was granted on Thursday, when an announcement on the Gmail Blog said you can personalize the Gmail interface with your own photos, coming from either Googleâs Picasa or your own hard drive.
Hereâs how you can make it happen when youâre in Gmaill:
- Go to the Settings menu
- Click the Themes tab
- On the bottom left, select âcreate your own themeâ
- Click on the link that invites you to select your own background image
- Choose an image, either from Picasa or from your own hard disk
- Enjoy your new look
