Now You Can Put Your Own A Wallpaper On Google.com
Google has rolled out a major update to google.com – Now you can personalise google.com with a custom image as your background. Google says
Today, we’re introducing a new feature that brings a whole new level of personalization to Google by letting you add a favorite photo or image to the background of the Google homepage.
Google says that this is being rolled out in the US first and will soon follow around the world. But here in India, I am able to customise my Google background. The process is quite neat and simple. It is 3 click (minimum) process to add the background. Removing the background is a clean single click thing. Although i couldn’t find a change background image option (should come out soon). So, as of now if you need to change background then you will have to 1st remove the existing one and then add a new one making it minimum 4 click deal. Here how you can how it all works -
1). You will see a “Change background image” at the bottom right corner of google.com
2). Select a background image from the pop up box that appears.
It has 3 options – to upload image from your computer, from your Picasa album from a public gallery.
3). Thats about it. You are done and here is how it looks like
As I said there is no Change background image option here, so at the bottom right you need to 1st “Remove Background Image” and then start over with step 1.
I couldn’t stop wondering if this was meant to be a response to Bing’s attractive homepage. Big deal! Wont really bring about any serious difference. On the other hand this is no match to Bing’s image.. They are just wonderful and out of the world with an auto upgrade to every day! So, today we mark an end to the long long exiting austere Google Search.
awesome!!!!!
Doesn’t work on ubuntu, I don’t see the option to set the wallpaper??
