Google Personalized Homepage Themes

Filed under: Uncategorized

Google has decided to offer its users a different element of customization by allowing them to select a theme for their Google Personalized Homepage. Prior to this, the only option was the typical Google logo on a white background.

You’ll have six different options for a theme including the beach, bus stop, city scape, sweet dreams, tea house, and seasonal scape. After selecting your option, it will ask you for your location because the themes will dramatically change to match your time of day and weather. I changed my location three different times to get an idea of what the same theme looks like at different times. Below is the beach theme showing sunrise, day time, and night time.

And some “Easter Eggs” appear at 3:14 am (Pi = 3.14) and last for a minute.

  • Beach – Loch Ness Monster
  • City Scape – UFOs

  • Pi in the Sky – Sweet Dreams

  • Tea House – Weird creatures in the water? (anybody know what that is?)

  • Seasonal Scape – Northern Lights
