Google introduced new artist themes for the iGoogle home page. You can browse through them at this page and when you like it, just click on the Make this my iGoogle theme. It's good to be able to see the various preview before applying a theme rather than to have to apply the theme to see how it looks.
Below is a promo video from Google channel on YouTube.
iGoogle now has five more themes to decorate your Google Homepage. Google didn't make it explicitly known on the page though. But they are in the list when you choose Select Theme on your page.
My favorite is Autumn :) The raccoons are busy cleaning up the leaves.
Will there be any easter egg in these five new themes as well?

Last week, the iGoogle homepage got some updates too. There is now a way to change the column layout of the homepage into 2 columns, 3 columns with variable widths. In fact, Google should have realized that some iGoogle gadgets would benefit from more space than the then-default width of the 3 column layout. Anyway, I'm glad now that I'm able to have a column with a bigger width for my news and search gadgets. :)
Another update to the iGoogle is the ability to share a certain tab with other users. The state of the tab—the page layout and content—will be the same as when the owner generated the share link. After that, anyone who adds the tab using the link will not see any update of the tab even if the owner changes it.
To change the width or to share the tab, all you need to do is to click on the arrow icon on the tab and select the corresponding link.
Until then...
