Globex Designs has come up with an open source add-on that helps add themes to Gmail.
If Gmail's simplicity is getting monotonous with each passing day, this article should help you jazz up Google's email service, provided you use Mozilla Firefox 3.
Canadian firm Globex Designs has been working on an open source project called Gmail Redesigned to revive the looks of Gmail while using Firefox. They've come up with a stylish add-on for Gecko browsers like Firefox and Flock to help you change the way Gmail looks.
The add-on loads Cascading Stylesheet (CSS) code on top of an existing Gmail style allowing the user-style author to change its look and feel, says the company.
This style can also used by other designers who wish to develop their own Gmail themes.
Gmail Redesigned is designed to work with the newer and older versions of Gmail and designed to work with any language currently supported by Google.
If this Gmail make-over idea interests you, here's a quick guide to help you get started with this nifty add-on to your Gecko browser. Before you get going, do note that you must use Firefox 2.0+ or Flock 1.0+. Although the extension can be installed on Firefox 2.0 and Flock 1.0, it's recommended that you use the latest versions.
To Install
1. Select the type of style to download above: Standard, Embedded or Developer
2. Click on Install
3. Right-click the Stylish icon in the bottom right corner of the browser
4. Click on "Add File to Stylish"
To Update
1. Right-click the Stylish icon in the bottom right corner of the browser
2. Click on "Manage Styles"
3. Click on "Find Updates"
4. If there is an update for the Gmail Redesigned style, it will appear in the list
