Really, Your Yahoo!
| Monday, October 20th, 2008 | --Sean |
There are nearly 70 themes available to choose from on My Yahoo!, but you get the sense that if it's really going to be YOUR Yahoo!, shouldn't you have a bit more say in what it looks like? Now, for me, that's never been a serious issue because all of the themes rock a bit harder than most things I would come up with and I've been pretty happy with the ones that I've settled on. However, for those of you that are more hands-on, My Yahoo! now grants you the power to design custom colorizations on top of their themes. The interface is actually pretty cool, in the sense that it updates the entire page in-line to give you a good sense of what you'll get, and you can pick any theme as the base in case you just want to make slight modifications (as long as you have fewer than 9 tweaks you want to save).
Now, it's sometimes better to leave important style decisions such as these to the professionals who develop the standard My Yahoo! themes, but we're no longer going to stop you if you need to...ahem, express yourself, like below.
