Gmail

I would like to talk briefly about Gmail.
If you don’t already have a Gmail account, now is the time to get one.
Gmail has a bunch of features that make it worth the few seconds of time it takes to set it up.

Recently the Gmail team released a new feature called themes. This goes along with the theme concept that was released for iGoogle over a year ago. Basically you can customize what your inbox looks like.
I chose the Desk Theme.

I chose this theme because it has a wood background which matches everything else I have.
Anyway, it is a nice feature.

A feature that was released a little while ago in gmail was “labs” which is where the gmail team tests out different features before implementing them. I like these lab features. Some of them include the ability to have google docs and google calendar on the page. Or the ability to put the chat box on the other side of the window. You can see both of these being use in the above screen shot.

To access these features, click on the setting button, and then click on labs, or themes.
If you don’t have some of these features available, don’t worry. They are so new that the Gmail team has not got all of the features rolled out to everyone yet.

What theme will you chose?
