Google Talk – Blue Theme

This post has been viewed 29527 times since Sunday 28 August 2005 @ 7:55 pm

I suppose you have already heard of the beta version of Google Talk launched last week. It is in fact quite flexible to get customized with its interface. I have create a blue theme for it, if you like it, feel free to download it. :)

Google Talk Blue Theme

The following are some simple steps to change the original grey theme.

  • Download my Google Talk Blue Theme now here. (I have zipped it)
    Downloaded times
  • Open your windows explorer, look for C:\Program Files\Google\Google Talk folder.
  • Rename your original googletalk.exe to something else (e.g. bryantalks.exe), just in case my file doesn’t work, you can still rename back to the original name.
  • Put my googletalk.exe into the folder.
  • Double click and run it.

Hope you like it. :)

By the way, if you would like to format the text as shown in the above picture, you can do the following :-

  • Put _ in between your words to italic it.
    _SapiensBryan_ will become SapiensBryan
  • Put * in between your words to bold it.
    *SapiensBryan* will become SapiensBryan

Enjoy using Google Talk, everyone. :)

p/s: Use at your own risk and you promise not to sue me. :)
