Gmail (AKA Google Mail) is adding themes. One of these themes 'Desk' looks familliar

What should we do?

Enjoy the compliment.

Top gear also took a leaf out of our book.

I've got the Tree theme, which changes depending on the weather in your area.

Curses at Google and their selective roll out of features - I've usually been first to get most of the modifications but in this case it looks like I'll be one of the last. Ah well - will just have to be patient.

I was thinking exactly the same thing this morning whilst tinkering with the themes. Maybe payment for copyright infringment in Nectar points is required.

I've seen better christmas themes.

Looks pretty crap to me - not a patch on Metropol.

The Christmas theme isn't on the list for me. And for some reason, in work (IE6, woo hoo :roll: ) I only see the default one.
