We’ve seen how we can add photos to the Google homepage to give it a personal touch. Nice trick but I can’t remember the last time I opened the Google homepage to search for anything. Chrome’s address bar (or address bar) with integrated Google Instant search was all I needed.
Anyway, the point is that these wallpapers give the services a personalized feel, like they were designed specifically for us. Gmail themes has also done a good job of providing a lot of great themes that one can apply to get rid of the monotonous black and white background, but with the latest integration of the ability to apply a custom background as well. theme, it has taken it up a notch and you can now set any photo you want as your Gmail background.
Neat sound? Let us see how to do it.
Add a personal background image to Gmail
Step 1: Open Gmail and click the . icon gear button to open the drop-down menu and select Theme.
Step 2: In the theme settings, scroll down to the custom theme section to find the Light and Dark options. Select the one you like to open the photo picker.
Step 3: You can apply public photos from various Picasa users, or you can use photos from your own Picasa/Google+ account. If you want to use a photo from the website, you can paste the URL directly to use it. If the image you want to apply is on your hard disk, you can upload it yourself.
Step 4: That’s it, the photo will be added immediately. Light and dark options have nothing to do with the photo; they just recolor your buttons, such as the gear icon button, to white or gray to go with the photo. Next time you want to change the photo, click on the link Change your wallpaper in the theme window.
Conclusion
So what do you think of the new integration? Well, if you ask me, I think it’s a pretty cool feature, but you know what could spice it up even a little better? Ability to cycle a set of images at periodic intervals. Gmail team, can you hear me?
