Just select one of the themes, and it will turn it on.

Change the skin to “Feeling Lucky” again and it will get a new image down You can change id of the flickr group used to get photos via Edit Settings. Enjoy, people.

Ha, I didn’t realize what that was used for. Quite clever!

I really like the Firefox one as well. My only problem is that I never actually use my iGoogle account, as nice as it may be. I just never think to go there to use it, even though it's all set up and ready to use.

iGoogle perso page is really handy. I like the tabs system, it allows to sort chosen gadgets by categories. I like a theme changing color following time of day (local or other set time, handy too). Works pretty like a portable toolbox that follows you everywhere.

The Firefox one is actually pretty easy on the eyes. I was clicking around on the different themes, and when I came upon that one I thought it looked pretty slick.
