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:
World Daylight Map By Yves Behar http://www.google.com/ig/directory?type=themes&url=http://www.corp.google.com/~jesses/skin_api/fuse.xml
My skin By Jesse S. http://www.google.com/ig/directory?type=themes&url=http://jesseshieh.com/test/skins/taffy/test.xml
Jesse Shieh By Jesse http://www.google.com/ig/directory?type=themes&url=http://jesseshieh.com/test/skins/jesse.xml |

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... |
the api documenation is live now
http://code.google.com/apis/themes/docs/dev_guide.html |
> 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. |
