We all know our good old Google Home page plain white without any color and drama. Well that is now set to change and you can add color to your Google homepage and add some instant personalization to the whole thing.
We saw this first on Bing where as soon as you open bing you are greeted with very colorful images. Google now has something similar. Except you get to choose what image you set as the background.
Google has this to say about how to set it up
How to add a background image
Sign in to your Google Account in the top right corner of the Google homepage. Don't have one? It's easy to create a Google Account.
Click Change background image in the bottom left corner of the Google homepage.
Choose where to select your background image:
From my computer: Select an image saved on your computer.
My Picasa Web photos: Select an image from your Picasa Web Albums.
Public gallery: Select from public photos featured in Picasa Web Albums.
Editor's picks: Select from a set of Google recommended images.
Once you've chosen your image, click Select at the bottom of the window. It may take a moment before your new Google homepage background appears.
You can remove your background image at any time by clicking Remove background image in the bottom left corner of the homepage.
Image requirements
When you upload a photo, it is saved as a photo in a new unlisted album in your Picasa Web Albums.
We recommend that you use images that are wider than they are tall (landscape orientation). Images must be at least 800 x 600 pixels and in one of the following formats: .jpeg, .tif, .tiff, .bmp, .gif, .psd (Photoshop), .png, .tga, and selected RAW formats. In Picasa, you can resize photos.
So you can add an image from your PC , Picasa Web Photos, Public Gallery or use one of the editors picks. Have fun.. Njoy
