Android Theme Gets Added To Gmail

If you’re a big theme guy like me and you love Android, you’re definitely going to appreciate this one.  Although these have been out for a while, we thought it would be worth noting for those of you who might have missed it.  Gmail has added several new themes to the mix, one being an Android theme.  I’ve gotta say, not too shabby.  Over the years I have come to appreciate themes because they can give an old UI a new and freshly updated look, just ask any old Windows Mobile user.  It’s also the reason why I love the Android platform.  If your one year old Nexus One is feeling a little outdated, there is always a ROM or a theme within arm’s reach to freshen up the device.  Now, how cool would this be if we could change the theme in Android’s native Gmail app?

So, if you want to switch out your old theme, make sure you’re running the latest version of Gmail and head on into “Settings”—> “Themes”—> and pick the “Android” theme.  Let us know what you think in the comments below.

    Guys, this theme is for Gmail on your desktops only, not Android phones :/ And yes, we know this theme has been out for awhile.

    Gmail app on your android smartphone,go to xda fourms and search for the Black Gmail Theme-I have it on both my Android smartphones and it looks pretty sweet!
