Google announced today that they are giving users the option to add themes to their personalized homepage. Not content with a simple background, Google has also given their themes dynamic capabilites.
From the Google Blog:
“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.”
To take advantage of the new themes, simply look for the “Select Theme” link on the upper right hand side of your Google Homepage.
