Customization is what skins are all about. Change the color theme of your mail which matches your style. Till now it was not possible with gmail , but no more. Using this firefox gmail skin plugin , you can create your own cutomized color theme for gmail. The add-on is quite easy to use and can be configured straight from the interface of Gmail, just like the basic configurations of the mail solution.

Please keep in mind that you must change the language of your account to EN-US because the plug-in is incompatible with other language.
