How to make your own Orkut themes
The social networking platform Orkut has now has a feature to set a theme for your profile.But the bad thing is that the options are limited. there are just some 12 themes and every one should choose from them.
If you want a change then you can to make your own theme. All that you need is here is Firefox + Greasemonkey. With these you can build your own Orkut themes in just a few seconds. Here’s how:
1. The Greasemonkey should be installed firstly. here are the links.
Greasemonkey for Firefox 2 | Firefox 3
2. Go to this page, and enter the url of a valid image. ( You can get your images by googling images you want here.
Take care that the image url should be correct and should match the width of the Orkut page or else the image will be repeated.
3. Click on the submit button and you’ll get the Greasemonkey script with the background image of your choice.
That’s it and the new theme will be yours. If you are already using an official theme, then make sure you switch back to the classic theme before using the custom Greasemonkey theme. You can configure the Greasemonkey add-on to remove the theme if you don’t like it.
These Custom themes will take more time to load because it has to fetch the image from an external source after the page is fully loaded. But if you want to be special then go for a change and make your profile unique.

How would that help? Only the person making it would be able to see the new theme, that too only in Firefox, and only in the same computer where the script is stored! My visitors will still see the boring classic orkut theme!
I guess we just have to wait until Google listens to our prayers!
