Google adds themes to Gmail. Ninjas spotted.

Gmail users will have noticed a bit of a change to Gmail in the last couple of days as Google rolls out the latest version of its hugely popular webmail client. The delicate blue border has been replaced with a brighter version, but that’s just the start. Just into your settings and you’re greeted with an extra tab for selecting visual themes.

There’s a lot to pick from but, really, they’re mostly a bit tacky. Standard themes with oceans, trees and clouds are predictably in abundance. The cartoony style of ‘Bus Stop’ and ‘Tea House’ are a bit cute and if  you’re a nostalgic geek and/or no longer wish to have functioning retinas, check out ‘Terminal’ for some eye-searing ascii art goodness.

There’s a ninja theme, but it’s a cartoony ninja theme – not a silent-dealer-of-death-ninja theme, which is a bit disappointing. It’s understandable though, because as we all know, real ninjas are invisible.

    i think the ninja one is pretty neat…but your right, most of them are extremely lame and cheesey.

    How does the ninja theme change depending on what city you live in? I’ve tried a bunch of cities in the US, some in Russia, England, Japan, and China… No change.

    @Robby Does it change with the time of day? I think the ‘tea room’ or whatever it is does.
