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.

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!

This trick only changes your theme locally so only you ‘ll be able to see the change in firefox . Your profile page in Orkut ‘ll never get changed. Try opening the profile page in ie or from your friend’s pc.
