Spice up your Orkut profile

Filed under: India, Web - blueshift @ 8:05 am

After officially launching the Indian edition of Orkut, Google added 12 new themes to Orkut but it was visible only to some users. It hasn’t yet added this feature to everyone’s profile yet. Yesterday, when I logged into Orkut, I was happy to see that Orkut is allowing to change the default blue theme.

Themes in Orkut

You can change the theme by clicking the Change theme on the top of the navigation bar. Its also available in the Edit Profile page under Themes tab.

Here is one the theme(Beach) preview after updating:

Beach theme in Orkut 

Yet another feature update by Orkut. Including the default classic blue theme, there are 12 themes(Autumn, Coutryside, Winter, Beach, Springtime, JR-The friendly giant, Snowman, Bus Stop, View from a moon, AJA Tiger and Tea House) to choose from of which 7 were available at the moment. The themes have been designed to reflect the season changes. The color combination is good but I think the themes are pretty much kiddish..I mean they appeal more to kids. I expect a lot more in Orkut regarding themes and the themes could be much better. I want user level customization of themes..that would be much better. What say?
