Google’s beloved Gmail has always been an attractive choice for third-party customizations. For people wanting to change the design, Gmail Redesigned skin has been a cool choice but now Google is officially looking after the interface customization part. You can now spice up your inbox with around 30 new themes.


To select a theme, click on the ‘Settings’ option and then go to the ‘Themes’ tab and choose a desired theme.

Google brings video chat to Gmail http://tech-junky.com/google/google-brings-video-chat-to-gmail/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=google-brings-video-chat-to-gmail Wed, 12 Nov 2008 15:04:28 +0000 http://tech-junky.com/google/google-brings-video-chat-to-gmail/ Continue reading Google brings video chat to Gmail]]>

Google has added support for video and voice capabilities for the chat function embedded in the Gmailinterface. It’s a simple service and is easy to install and use and appears to be a very good addition to Gmail.

Unlike Skype’s paid service, Gmail Video and Voice cannot connect to the plain phone network. Some more optional features like a voice call recorder are also missing.


Gmail Video and Voice is a bit different from many current video chat products and uses a proprietary plug-in, not Flash. The small (2MB) download supports Firefox, IE, and Chrome on the PC, and Firefox on the Mac.

The existing Google Talk application which currently supports voice chat may get the video capability later.

Google has got the first release of its videophone pretty much right. It works, it’s easy, and if you’re a Gmail user, the service is right where you want it.
