iGoogle Artist Themes

If you use iGoogle’s customized web page as your home page, you may have noticed a little link in the bottom right hand side of the header that shows an artist’s palette and the words “get artist themes”.

If you click this you are taken to a screen where you can choose from 68 different artist themes. Each theme consists of several different headers that will cycle through each time you refresh your home page.

I have tried out a few and it is fun to see something new and original each time I do a Google search. Go ahead, express yourself!
