How To Add Custom Background Image On Google Homepage

Posted by

Google is known for its simplicity that’s why many people love it. However, if you want to add spice to Google homepage, you can now add a background image so it will look more interesting just like in Bing where you can see amazing background pictures. But unlike Bing, Google lets you add a custom background image from your Picasa Web album, public gallery, or from your own hard drive!

Sign in to your Google account and go to Google homepage. Look for “Change background image” located at the bottom-left side. Select a background image from your computer, Picasa Web photos, public gallery, or Editor’s pick.

NOTE: Currently, this feature is available for Google.com only.

You can easily remove the image by click “Remove background image” located at the bottom-left side.

This is the first I've learned about HOW to change the background. I have heard about it, but not known how. Thanks. Surprisingly, Google STILL goes fast (if not faster!). :-|

P.S. I like that "Bookmark and Share" plugin at the bottom.

Actually, I never thought that Google will allow us to change the background of its homepage because I know that they are known for its extreme simplicity. ;)
The "bookmark and share" that I'm using is from Web Informer, I just saw it in Giveawayoftheday and I think it's cool that's why I tried it. If you want to try it, here's the link.
