All my friends have themes in their gmail accounts my email doesn't
show the option themes. Why is that? I have Windows XP Professional
but does that matter? Does anyone else have the same problem?

Themes are still being rolled out, you'll get it soon. I don't have it
yet either.

At the present time Themes in Gmail is found only in Gmail Labs. Check
your settings on Gmail to see if is available for your Gmail.

It's not a lab, it's yet another standard feature, which as usual, is
being rolled out. Everyone will have it eventually, but not all on
the same day.

BTW... I have often had to log out and back in to get many of these
rolled-out features when they come, so if you're inpatient, you might
try that to see if you're getting it yet.

Not necessarily everyone. Many features are not available in the "old"
version / user interface of Gmail.

That's because the old version is deprecated, and no new development
is happening. I foresee a point where it will fail to exist. That is
why I tell people that switching to old version is not a solution, but
a stop-gap.

The old version doesn't seem to be dead. Some new features were added to
it. For example, the link to see the five last logins was added to the old
version with chat (but oddly enough not to the old version w/out chat).

> I foresee a point where it will fail to exist.

I really hope not, unless they get the new version to support more
platforms.

It's still being rolled out, so you should get it in the next day or
two. If not, try clearing your brower's cache and cookies.

Yes look under settings and then again look for themes.  The darker themes are kinda dark.  One changes color for the time of day.  Nice.

I have a gmail account that I keep open on FireFox and that one has
themes, but then the gmail account I open using Internet Explorer does
not support Labs or Themes and I have cleared all temp files and
cookies and I am running a new version of IE. Don't know why google
does not update for IE like it does for FireFox...anyone else know?

    Sure we so. Google is rolling out yet another new feature that some people will find "OMG! I CAN"T LIVE WITHOUT THIS!!!" and other will find "Meh." And some people are now and/or will get frantic about not having it until it reaches them, and others will be offended when it is rolled out to them, for reasons comprehensible only to themselves. Same as with every other feature of Gmail.
    We know EXACTLY what is happening.

Hi, I had the same filing, but digging out for it, I find out that
themes, are available only for IE 7.( IE 5.5, IE6 doesn’t show it). It
is for new technology only. So, old users are forced to update their
habits. Try new browsers, and it will work.

IE7, Firefox, and Google Chrome (probably Safari as well) all display
it, so there are options if you want to use themes.
