How to change your Gmail background

Gmail has many features that can make your email more enjoyable, and easier to use. One fun feature is the ability to change the background. This makes it more fun to read your email, and also less recognizable when someone sneaks up on you at work.

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• A Gmail account

1. Step 1

   First log into your Gmail account. At the top, you will notice that there are a number of links you can click on. On the right side, you will find a link called Settings. Click this link to see the various settings you can play with.

2. Step 2

   Look around at all of the various settings you can control in Gmail. This is awesome! You've got a way to control just about everything in Gmail. But the one we want is at the far right called Themes.

3. Step 3

   After you click on themes, test a few of the listed themes out. When you click on one of the themes, it automatically changes so you can see what it looks like. Personally, I like the Planets theme, but choose one that matches your personality, or one that will improve your mood when you see it.
