Ok, I am not usually one to mess with themes or skins for applications. Frankly, most of the time, I have better things to do than spend time tweaking a UI for vanity’s sake.

I’m not sure why I decided to apply it, but I was sucked in, and I must say that I like it and it is because of one simple, eloquent feature that they added.
Essentially a theme in GMail is just a background picture, but they took it a step further and have your background appear differently based upon the current weather in your area. I like it. Here are a couple of pictures of my theme:
