Google goes fancy finally. Google personalized home page will now support themes. Users can now choose themes for their personalized pages(I can count the number of friends using a personalized home page) . That apart, Now what is so cool about it?.
Well, these themes are loaded through XML files which carry different css files that constitute a theme. So they are so light-weight that degradation is absolutely smooth.
A plain look at the XML file will itself tell you it carries a lot of weather-related information. Though information about time i.e. morning, evening and nights have already been incorporated in the css, weather-related information i believe is still under construction. While this would be much easier to incorporate within the US coz they all have zip-codes, may not be all that easy to provide the same kind of service to a user elsewhere.
I dont think Google has rolled this out completely. It looks like they are still testing it out by letting a few users in a domain alone to test.(Coz i see the link to this in only one of my ids).So, when they actually roll it out, im sure they'll let user-customised themes as well to be a part of the system.

Cool!
But like I said before I have a problem with the personalized home page. Maybe I should make a blog entry about it!
Yep! Its a valid concern that you have. But what about GMail and contextual ads. Google still reads all your mails!
What do you use filezilla for?
