I’m not a big fan of dark pages so a couple of them I just dismissed immediately, but some are really well done. It’s a nice change for a while if nothing else.

Thanks for all of your comments.

I’m completely enamored of the “Tea House” theme; the little fox at the bottom of the screen moves to different locations occasionally. First he was sitting at the table, then he was off to the side of the house (and eating a bowl of soup that’s not there anymore), and now he’s hanging out near the birdbath. If anything, my frequent “fox location checks” will make me even less productive. But happier! Yes, I’m easily amused. Thanks, Gmail!

and the one I picked also changes by time of day so it asks you to put in your zip code.

How hard is it to get a clean, professional looking theme? I dont want pictures or dark backgrounds with light color font. Geeez.

I already used http://userstyles.org/ in the past to style gmail, and although it looked great, it was a bit distracting

They ask to confirm your location when you first set the theme.
As the sun’s been getting lower in the sky for about the past hour here in Korea, I’m pretty sure my theme has gotten noticeably darker.
