So they are finally here. And pretty much looks like my new GMail inbox is the twin brother of my iGoogle page. The news arrived on the GMail Blog yesterday, but the things took some time to get reflected in my inbox. (I have three GMail addresses for different reasons, and for some reason, the change was noticed at different times, the newest one was the first to see themes being active, and the oldest one the last). But it is official that the GMail inbox can now be customized and decorated as per GMail’s settings. The preset themes are given below in the pic.(Click picture to see larger size)
As per your tastes, you can select the ones that suit you the best. I personally would like to recommend two of the ‘darker’ themes that are my personal favorites.
1. Shiny
2. Graphiti (which I have now on)
A close tie between Summer Ocean and Mountains for the third spot. Which one’s your favorite? Links to the GMail Blog post.
I had done a post before on Techkeyla about watching and downloading videos from Youtube in High Quality version. (The post is here) Not that all videos were uploaded in their High Quality grandeur, but some of them were, and we could watch them in their High Quality resolution just by adding “&fmt=18″ at the end of the video URL. Downloading it was more fun with KeepVid.com. Now, Wired.com reports that Youtube is experimenting with High-Definition videos to be aired. And it is indeed High-Definition at 720p. Have a look at the different versions of the crazily popular “Where the Hell is Matt” video.

It is finally here. Video Chat (along with voice chat) on GMail. Surprisingly though it is not available yet on the GTalk client. I tried using it with my mates and it works like a charm! Lovely addition to the already awesome GMail and now there is no reason why I would want to get any other mail ID. I can hear people in the background screaming “MSN MSN Live Live Yahoo Yahoo!!!!” Calm down people. Here is something that I want to tell ya all. Awright! GMail has a web-integrated video chat facility now, and I know Meebo has made it available before. But have a look at the GMail Video Chat and you’ll know how cool it is. It has chat within mail and yes….it HAS FULLSCREEN. WHOA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
