The New Google Personalized Homepage

Google has added another feature to the Google Personalized Homepage. Now, you can choose a dynamic theme for your personalized homepage which changes according to information about your local area. The themes feature a dynamic graphic for the top portion of the page (which changes quite often, and in subtle ways for some themes), the Google logo becoming "iGoogle", and different colors for the boxes around your various customizations on the lower part of the page. Here are the theme choices:

• Classic - The default look that was previously the only choice. No top graphic or box changes.
  
  
• Beach - A view of a beach, over-looking the water. Box are changed to light purple.
  "This theme will dynamically change to match your time of day, including local sunrise and sunset times."
  
  
• Bus Stop - A bus stop by a field with 6 people and a dog waiting. Boxes are tan colored.
  "This theme will dynamically change to match your local weather conditions."
  
  
• City Scape - An artistic city landscape. Boxes are a light blue.
  "This theme will dynamically change to match your time of day, including local sunrise and sunset times."

To add one of the new themes to your Google page, you first have to be signed in with your Google Account, and have your Google page set as "Personalized Home". From there, you will see a link called "Select theme" beside the "Add stuff" link. Clicking "Select theme" opens a new box on the page where you can select from the new themes, which will load for you to preview once clicked. After you are satisfied with your new theme choice, click the "Save" button and another box will appear on the page explaining how the theme dynamically changes, and allows you to change your local area. Click the "OK" button when you are done, and that's it. You now have a new, colorful, and dynamic homepage!
