There were quite a few of you who were fond of the dark Gmail theme that we wrote about a few months ago, and since then it has received some significant updates to make it even better. Now there is a very similar theme that is designed for Google Calendar, and it’s created by the same people who made the Gmail version. I have to admit that it transforms Google Calendar into a rather slick interface.
You’ll want to have the Stylish Firefox extension installed before trying to use the theme, and after that you’re just a click away from having the new look that you see in the screenshot above. From what I can tell everything has been skinned including adding new events and managing your settings.
I’m normally not a big fan of dark themes like this, but with Google Calendar I feel that it works very well. The colors really stand out, and everything flows very smoothly. I can only imagine how much time the designers had to spend working on this, and they definitely deserve credit for their excellent work.
Fantastic, was waiting for this one! There are still some bugs (sometimes I cannot get to the buttons in a bubble), but I’m sure they will fix them as fast as they fixed the ones for gmail
Whoa!!! Awesome looking. Nice find.
Okay sorry I should thank Lifehacker.
I’d definitely pay for a unified Gmail, Google Reader, Calendar and Firefox Homepage. I’ve been using the Globex Designs theme for Gmail since it came out.
Considering how much they have revised their Gmail theme I think it’s safe to say that they will be doing the same for this one. For an initial release it’s not bad though.
They could be working up to something like that, but I bet it will remain free. I think they’re doing this more to promote their design company, and will probably use it in their portfolio.
It’ll also work if you’re a Greasemonkey user apparently.
This is very easy on the eyes, and it’s really nice-looking, too. A great find.
Huh, that’s pretty clever that they made it work in Greasemonkey, too. I think the Greasemonkey and Stylish extensions should get combined into one.
How do you download this?
