i have to say i'm pretty excited about this. the other day i was thinking , why won't google make their websites prettier - i understand that's the google theme, but still. but now they have. you get to choose from 5 or 6 themes and they change acording to your location and time of the day.
i added a screenshot to show off my home page. :D

I set mine to the tea room theme, put in my zip code, and it updated to night time. Very cool!

Yum! New stuffs from Google! I'm glad to see they have taken some of the suggestions given to them by their groups.

Just go to http://www.google.com/ig <--note the lack of '.au'. You will still be able to login as your gmail id, and you will have a themeable personalised page. You can still get the Aussie news and stuff. However there aren't many themes up there yet.

Oh! Well the only other thing I can think of is that I was already logged in to .com.au so when I got to .com/ig l already showed as logged in, just with the extra option on the front page. Sorry.

@guitarmaniac:
maybe it's just for registered users you know. not for the others. although i might be wrong

tried going to google.com and google.com.au and going to Personalized Home and logging in and out of my google account.
Just doesnt seem to work for me. Oh well, not to worried, its no biggie.

(Working in google.com, not google.com.au)
Very nice, would be better if there were a few more to pick from.
