New iGoogle Themes
http://blogoscoped.com/archive/2007-11-06-n40.html
Laurenty mentions in the forum that Google has added some new official themes for the iGoogle homepage. I’m not seeing these yet, but after a bit of digging around I was able to find the necessary XML files. So, if you want to enable any of the new themes before they’re made available to you, simply follow these instructions:
-
Visit www.google.com/ig.
-
Enter the following in your browser’s address bar:
javascript:_dlsetp('preview_skin=skins/jr.xml');
Where jr.xml can be the XML filename from any one of following new themes:- Aja Tiger: tiger.xml
- Autumn: autumn.xml
- Hong Kong: hongkong.xml
- JR: jr.xml
- Solar System: planets.xml
-
Click the Save button.
And if you want to see the Easter eggs for these themes, you can use the same technique I posted about earlier this year.
Could this be a sign that the iGoogle Themes Directory is getting closer to launch?
