How to choose Gmail themes
Gmail is a webmail provided by Google. In Gmail, there are many different themes for your inbox, including many unique color schemes and scenes ranging from a mountain view to a beach sunset. If you've gotten tired of staring at the default theme every day, you'll be glad to know that it's very simple to change to a new, exciting theme.
Steps
- Log in to your Gmail account and view your inbox.
- Click on the settings link at the top right-hand corner of the page.
- Select the themes tab. A page with a list of themes and sample pictures will load.
- Click on a theme to try it out. The theme you've selected will have a little box around it. The whole page will be changed to that theme, and you can decide if you like it.
- When you find a theme you like, simply click on your inbox link and go on using Gmail, as your settings are saved automatically every time you click on a new theme.

Tips
- Alternatively, you can choose your own colors. There is a button to select this option at the bottom of the themes page. This will bring up another window with a "sample" inbox and options to change the color of every individual part of the page.
Warnings
- Some themes, you have to enter your city and state. This shouldn't be a threat to your safety, but you may not want to use this one if you're uncomfortable with using that information.
