seems like there are more themes for igoogle

http://www.google.com/ig/directory?hl=en&type=themes

When can we start making themes?

works now...you also see bottom right, the signature of the artist.

I don't see Watery Region, Green, Purple and Orange in the directory.

Ionut, at first I thought it depended on which server I was hitting but it looks like I could see more because I was sorting them by "Most users" like this:

http://www.google.com/ig/directory?type=themes&sort=users

That also return these three "test skins" too:

Right now! Download the Theme XML template from here:

http://code.google.com/apis/themes/

And submit your theme here:

[Just updated the post to reflect the recent post to the Google Code blog.]

Tony:
Interesting. I thought I found some new themes here:
http://themeapi.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
but they're available in the view you mentioned.

RIP the unofficial iGoogle Themes gadget/ directory...

Which one?

the api documenation is live now

> Which one?

This one perhaps: http://blogoscoped.com/archive/2007-07-18-n77.html

I don't see the skateboard theme listed anywhere. Also the German astronaut theme isn't available either. I'm glad there is finally a way for users to create their own themes though. :)

It seems like they've now removed most of the additional skins which I'd found when viewing them by user. Looks like someone messed up when putting things live again...

[Just added an update to the post to reflect this.]

Those themes were rendering REALLY weird at work. Now at home, it looks fine. Gonna look under the hood.

The only new ones I see in SF Bay are:

Earth-Light-----Fantastic looking

Simplicity is Complex------also nice

Winterscape..Lollipopland..Supermoto....and Countryside.

OK, here is the weirdness. Sometimes page renders like this.

Brinke, I see that occasionally on my iphone when I would try to see my iGoogle page on my phone.

Ok, everytime I go from a tab that had one of the old themes to one with one of the new themes, I get the similar page that Brinke gets. I'm using IE 6 on an old laptop and its getting pretty annoying. I never had issues before viewing a page with the old themes. Why are the new themes breaking the page? A simple refresh corrects the problem but its annoying.

yup thats it right there. i dont get it.
