Giants Gmail Theme

 

via home.comcast.net


If you have Gmail I was fooling around and made a sweet giants theme.  You can know edit your own colors if you have Gmail.  I also made a gmail logo that looks like the giants logo. I wasted so much time doing this I figured I might as well share. Here are instructions using the official giants colors I got off Wikipedia

Go to Setting/Themes/Choose your own Colors

At first you'll have to set two new colors.  Now when you move around on any of the arrows you'll get a color dialog box, and the name of the item your setting is at the top.  So click on the arrow that selects the "Main Backgound"  Click the Plus sign under "Link Color" and set the color to "#192f6b" and click apply.  We'll call that gBlue from now on.  Click the plus sign under Text Color and enter "#ca001a" and click apply.  We'll call that gRed.  Notice they're both on the bottom of every box now.  Set the Background color to "Silver", which is the third from the right on the top row.  Now hopefully the rest with make sense

So here's how I would describe what I just told you to do:

Main Background

  • Background Color: Silver
  • Text Color: gRed
  • Link Color: gBlue

so using that format here's the rest:

Frame

  • Background Color: gBlue
  • Text Color: gRed
  • Link Color: Silver

BOX

  • Background Color: gBlue
  • Text Color: Silver

Box Content

  • Background Color: Silver
  • Text Color: Black
  • Button Bar
  • Background Color: gRed
  • Text Color: gBlue
  • Link Color: Silver
  • Messages

Background Color: White

  • Text Color: Black
  • Link Color: gBlue

Selected Message

  • Background color gRed

Now if your using Firefox, you can get that sweet gmail logo.  Install Greasemonkey then after restarting, install this script.  And just like that the Gmail logo is full of badassary ( I really love the new logo)
