Facelifts for Gmail and Google Calendar
Posted on July 5, 2008

There are quite a few different ways to get new looks for the plain old (blah) Gmail and Google Calendar pages. Not that blah is all bad, mind you. But sometimes it is nice to mix things up a bit, and that’s just what I’ve done on my home computer this holiday weekend.
For consistency’s sake, I’ve chosen styles that are both from the same designer(s) (Globex Designs). While darker than what I normally would go for, the change has been refreshing. For instance, here’s the new loading screen:
I’m using the Stylish extension for Firefox. I then grabbed Gmail Redesigned and Google Calendar Redesigned from userstyles.org and reloaded my mail and cals.
I have yet to decide if I’ll do this on all of my computers, but I’m enjoying the visual refresh at home. Only issue I have run into so far is that the weekly calendar view is not quite “right.” While I usually prefer the weekly view, I am going to try to adapt to another view temporarily
Side note: Explore userstyles a bit as there are tons of other cool and interesting options there for both sites and apps.
