Paxton Holley – Google Gmail in the new Desktop theme

G-mail is a killer email client and provider and I couldn’t live without it (actually, I think I could, but it would be hard :P). I’ve been using G-mail since one year after it’s closed Beta trial and loved it from the start, so much that I have Google Apps just so I can get G-mail for my own domain. Only one thing is really sucking at the moment, Themes. Plain old G-mail allows for crazy, funky and cool themes to be applied, while Google Apps / Hosted gets the standard theme. This has been like this for a large amount of months now, and I’m getting extremely jealous of standard G-mail.

If anyone knows a way around this (User scripts or other voodoo magic), without forwarding all my email to a standard G-mail account, please leave me a comment, because this really annoys me.
