Gmail now allows you to give your inbox a personalized look. For a while, you’ve been able to set your own colors, now you can customize your inbox with your own background images too.

Steps to Customize Your Gmail

  • Go to Gmail.
  • Click on the “Options” logo (gear logo right upper corner).
  • Choose “Mail Settings,” then “Themes” and scroll down for the last option, “Create Your Own Theme.”
  • Select background images for the main area and the footer.

Tips: Change text colors appropriately to make things legible in the new background. Landscape is more suitable unless you prefer a snapshot.
