Personalise your inbox - Credit Peggyhr

Hotmail has some funky new colour schemes to help you personalise your inbox. Colour your inbox with some of the many new designs available.

When you receive personalised, hand-written mail in your letterbox it's always pretty exciting. It could be from a long-lost friend or a pen pal on the other side of the world (remember those?). As long as it's not a bill, you just can't wait to rip open the envelope and read what's inside.

Why should e-mail be any different?

Getting an e-mail from a friend who has sent you some holiday pics is thrilling too. Now you can match your inbox to your mood, making Hotmail much more you.

If you have a few different Hotmail addresses then you can mix it up by colour- coding each one.

Just follow the steps to get started.

  1. Click Options in the top right hand corner of your inbox.

  2. Hover over the themes to preview them.

  3. Choose the theme you like by clicking on it.

  4. Click More Themes to peruse the dynamic themes (they can change with the weather or go dark at sunset!)

I luv msn and it is so cool
i just luv msn how kewl can it get
WOWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wat a kewl idea luv'n it
So I can set a color scheme or theme. Big Deal, I don't start Hotmail to look at the borders. Spend your time adding features to make me more productive. Like - Inbox rules that can color the emails in the list. Perhaps emails from my friends group are one color, and from School or Work are in a different color. OR - Adding a "Task or TODO" list.
hope everything is going to be fix for a better view
please add more color in hotmail... and be a little more creative with it... it boring staying the same thanks....
I must agree with Sophie Dungog,Australia, you need to get a whole new set every now,these ones are getting past there used by date, sorry to say.
