GTALK THEMES

I got the same themes sometime ago through an underground forum, but the author of the post didn’t post the source, so I wasn’t sure where he got them from. But now when I know the it, I have been able to get a few cool themes that you will surely love using on GTalk.

Enough time wasted, eh? Let’s get on with the themes part. :)

NOTE: If you don’t know how or where to install GTalk themes, please read this first!

How To Change Themes In GTalk

Just follow the steps below and you will have a new theme in no time:

  1. Open GTalk.
  2. Go to Settings.
  3. Click Appearance.
  4. Below Chat Theme, you’ll see a drop box. Choose whatever theme you want.
  5. Click OK and start chatting with someone to try the new theme.

There are about 10 pre-installed themes in GTalk, excluding the default one. I like the “orkut Picture” theme.

How To Install Themes In GTalk

Already knew change themes and tired of the default ones? Wanna install custom themes? Just follow the following steps:

1. Make sure you have the skin (usually as ZIP file).

2. Extract the files anywhere in your PC. (I don’t think I need to explain how to extract files :P Just do it with Winzip or any other good app.)

3. Copy the theme folder and paste it in:

C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Google Talk\themes\user

USERNAME is your Windows user account name. If the chat folder (in the end) is not in the user folder, then create one and paste the theme folder in it.

4. That’s all! Now open GTalk, go to Settings > Appearance > Chat Theme and apply your new theme.

This was easy, right? :)
