Google has been busy the past few weeks rolling out eye candy for their users. First they launched themes for iGoogle, then video chat for GTalk and now themes for GMail. They look pretty good and there is a good selection of minimalist, high contrast and illustrative themes. They even payed a lot of attention to elaborate footers. See a few more examples below.

Typical Google...

These themes are nice. But as is typical of Google, they only went half-way. Why not make these themes available for ALL Google products? I want my iGoogle homepage, Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Reader, Google Docs to match. Would it have been so difficult?

I agree. That would be the best. Plus they should allow me to customize my google theme as I want. Let it be an open platform with strict rules. Let designers create free themes for everybody.

Actually, you CAN

You can already create your own theme for iGoogle. I haven't done it myself, but they offer a "how to guide" somewhere on the iGoogle Theme link. But again, it should go throughout their product line.

A CB theme would probably look very nice!
