changing background color in google

[kath3]

Hi All,
First time here ... hope this question is allowed.
My OS is Vista Home Premium 64bit.
My question is > Is there a way to change the background color of seach pages in google. I find the white background hard on the eyes. I've managed to change the background color of my Google home page (excluding my favorites list).
Any help would be most appreciated.

Hello kath3,

Welcome to Vista Forums.

I believe this is the only way:

Simply sign into Google, using the link at the top right of the main home page. (If you don't already have a Google account, you'll need to create one.) Then, head back to google.com and look for a link at the bottom left of the page that says "Change background image." If you're already using iGoogle, you'll need to switch to the "classic home" view first.
From there, you can opt to upload your own custom background image or select from any number of publicly available images ready for your approval.

Try using the search box within the "Public Gallery" section; you'll find all sorts of stuff. If you're a rabid Apple or Android fanboy, for example, try searching for "Steve Jobs" or "Sergey Brin" (yes, there really are background images available for both). If the "Developers!" dance is your thing, search for "Steve Ballmer" and you'll find Mr. Microsoft himself posed and waiting for your click. There's something for almost every interest imaginable -- even competitive polka dancing and gourmet bread making (trust me, I checked).
For a more robust custom Google home page experience, click over to iGoogle. That service lets you build your own Google home page from scratch: You can add news and weather widgets, boxes with your favorite RSS feeds, and even live functioning games and applications.
