Custom Gmail Themes from Gmail Labs | Make You Own Gmail | Set Favourite Gmail Colors

From the day Google has launched themes in Gmail and Orkut everyone is trying to create there own themes and use there own colors in the theme. So Google has worked on it and today they have launched with a new option Choose your own colors in Gmail theme.You can see this option in the following path:Setting -> Theme tab and scroll down to locate Choose your own colors



Click on it and you'll get a pop-up in which you will be able to select colors for everything from background of your inbox to the link of the text.



Now you can play with your favorite colors and create your own theme everyday by mix- matching the colors. If you get carried out with lot of mix - matching and lost the track of colors then you can always use the Reset button at the bottom, which would revert to the default colors.Note: Companies that use Google Apps would not be able to see this option for themes yet, but don't worry Google is working on it.Hope Google gets this option with Orkut themes also!

Multiple Inbox View in Gmail | New Gmail Labs Item Multiple Inbox in Single Screen View

Gmail have added a new labs feature that would enable you to view multiple inbox as soon you log into your Gmail account. This feature could be used to show multiple inbox if you categorize your mails according to drafts, starred, labels, etc.

As an example to use this new feature, lets consider, I have filtered all my e-bills that will be treated specially as soon they reaches my inbox. They are filtered in a manner that will skip from my inbox and will be labeled as ‘BILLS’ automatically. In this case I can create another inbox apart from my primary inbox that will display all the mails under category ‘BILLS’. In the same manner you can also create inbox for your drafts, starred items, or any other labels.

Here is how this lab feature will look once activated



You can try it out yourself by enabling Multiple Inboxes feature inside ‘Labs’ tab. Once activated, you will need to customize multiple inboxes by clicking Settings-> Multiple Inboxes. Though I am yet to explore this feature a lot, but as of now I found that, this feature is clashing with other Labs feature like right side chat
and labels, etc. Hope, they will be improved too, with the passage of time. :-)
