Gmail themes finally come to Google Apps
When Google introduced themes for Gmail, users who run Google Apps on their own domains figured it would just be a matter of time before they got themes too. After a few months of anticipation -- and frequent postings on message boards, Google Groups, and even Yahoo! Answers -- their wish is finally granted. Themes for Google Apps have now started rolling out. Not all users have themes yet -- my own domain included -- but here's where to look to enable them. In Gmail for Google Apps, open settings and look for the themes tab on the far right. If you have themes, it should be there. If you don't yet, be patient. After all, we've waited quite a while, and a few more days aren't going to matter that much. Taking a tip from Lifehacker, here's a direct link to the themes page, to make it easier for you to check:
https://mail.google.com/a/yourdomain.com/#settings/themes Just replace "yourdomain.com" with your actual domain name. Thanks to all the readers who tipped us off about this.

Not available on my domain yet...I guess a couple more days won't kill me.

I wonder if it is due to the fact I have had my apps domain for a while?
First come first serve?
It works fine - shameful on Google for not rolling it out all at once though!

Does anyone know if they are going to add support for Google themes on the Google Apps Start Pages?

If you don't see themes option, try going into the google apps admin page under domain settings/general tab and checking the box for "turn on new features". I had to do that for 1 domain I support before themes showed up.
