Hello everyone

I was wondering.. is there any option to change the colors of Gmail
account? I mean, I do like the way Gmail looks, cause it's very
different and interesting, but it would be fun now and then to change
the skin of my account, just like on Yahoo.
I searched through settings but I couldn't find anything. If anyone
knows that this option actually exists, please let me know.

Thank you!!

Bye Bye

If you are using the Firefox browser, there is a Gmail skins extension.
You can get it here:

Thank you very much for your help. I actually use IE and Firefox, but I
didn't know about the existence of this plugin. It is very nice, and
has a number of colors to choose from, along with other options. Very
interesting.
Thank you so much too all of you.

Kisses,

You are welcome. I'll accept those kisses, providing you are female. ;)

Here's a direct link to the install page. Scroll down about halfway and
click on "Install now"

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2127/

Once it's installed, you will have to close an re-open Firefox. Then
open Gmail and go to "settings" in order to configure the skins. There
are addition options available.

Is it worth downloading Firefox just for all these Gmail/Google
plug-ins?

Thanks

yes and no... it's worth downloading firefox for all the other
benefits, and the gmail/google ones are just a piece of the pie... if
you were to try it and not want anything BUT the gmail/google plug-ins
alone, then it probably wasn't worth downloading it for you.

I agree with Zack, I personally only downloaded Firefox because Internet Explorer just wouldn't let me login to my Barclays account.
