Create and Share iGoogle Themes With Built In Theme Editor

The theme-building tool has a simple interface for uploading your photo from your desktop, Picasa Web Album, or the web. Once you’ve chosen a photo, the builder provides a basic set of tools to help you create your theme:
- Image Cropping - Crop your favorite photo to fit your iGoogle theme
- Color Schemes - Pick colors to complement your photo
- Real-time Preview - See immediate feedback of your changes to swiftly fine-tune your theme
- Public and Private Publishing - Choose who gets to see your original themes, whether it’s just you, or if you want to share them with the world.
Once your theme is created, it’s immediately added to your iGoogle page for you to enjoy.
Previously, users were only able to create iGoogle themes using Google’s API and submitting their work to the design gallery. This tool also replaces third-party online tools such as igThemer, which let non-tech savvy folks create iGoogle-compliant themes from inside the browser.
iGoogle built in theme editor will be rolled out in next few hours.
