Official Google Blog: Personality goes a long way
Official Google Blog: Personality goes a long way
Quote: We wanted to offer you a way to add some personality to your Google homepage, too, but we had to ask ourselves some tough questions. How do we add personality without taking away from the information? How do we make sure people don’t get sick of looking at the same theme every day?
Today we’re releasing six themes for the personalized homepage that try to solve these challenges: a city, a teahouse (super cute—this one is my favorite), a winter scene, a sky, a beach and a bus stop. All of our themes are dynamic: they change with your own local time of day, current weather conditions or season. If you add the beach theme, for example (changes with time of day), it will ask you for your Zip code and adjust itself to match your local sunrise and sunset times. So if you happen to be stuck in a windowless office, you can at least crack open a cold one and watch the sun set over your desktop.
Themes for your custom Google page?
Awesome!
