More and more, Google decides to move away from their simplistic and minimalistic look. Some lucky people can now set a background for the google.com engine.
You can either select and upload your own pictures or choose from the galleries “Public Gallery”, “Editor’s Picks” or your own Picasa Web Album. In the public gallery you can search the Picasa online site directly within the popup. Any image, even those NSFW.
After some tests I would suggest you use a darker picture. The Google logo and links are white once you have selected a design. And if you photo is white, you can’t really see any links. I miss some sort of preview option. I would love to preview my choice, before selecting it. I have no idea how big the image is and which parts are displayed once I have selected it.
