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.

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.
