There are Google Chrome based themes available for many applications. Google Chrome’s innovative new approach to design inspired these designers and users to adapt these themes. For example there are people who are using Firefox, they either don’t want to use Chrome or can’t use Chrome (as Chrome is not yet available for Linux and Mac users). So they Chromify their firefox.

Chromifox Theme for Firefox will make your Firefox look like Google Chrome.

There are Chrome like themes for popular blogging applications.

• Chrome WordPress Theme
• Chrome Theme for Tumblr
• Google Chrome Template for Blogger

I hope to see a Google Chrome theme for my Gnome Desktop on Ubuntu, and it would be nice to have a theme for Vista and XP too.

There are even websites offering themes to change the appearance of your Google Chrome with themes. I didn’t know that themes are supported or not so I didn’t try it. But HowTo Geek tried changing appearance of his Google Chrome browser to Windows Vista Aero Style theme with satisfactory results.

Another problem is that these templates are currently available in English only and other languages are coming soon. There is a chance that even then templates wont be available for all languages. There are people like me who work in a language that is not yet available for Google Docs. I work with Urdu, I need to set text direction to right-to-left (rtl), change fonts and align text properly. This is too much work thats why I needed templates.

The solution is that we create our own templates and use them. This feature is not officially available but creating a template is just like creating a new document. The only difference is that the template has style and design to meet your needs so that you don’t have to repeat it over and over again.

In your Google Docs dashboard create a new folder and Rename it to Templates. Now we can either use ready-made template provided by Google Docs or create our own. You can create your own templates by defining header, footer, fonts, font sizes, and other details and save them in your template folder. But if you don’t have much knowledge of CSS then your template might not look as good as those provided by Google Docs. So I would say that use one of ready-made templates. Click on New > From template… and choose a template from the gallery and press ‘Use this template’ button. The template will then open in your Google Docs. Now you can replace logo image, contact information, and other details to meet your needs and save it. Then come back to your dashboard you will see the template there as ‘Copy of (templatename)’. Right click on it and Select Move to, then select your Templates folder and press move to folder button.

Now when you want to use this template just open it like a regular document and ‘Save as new copy’. Now back to your Google Docs Dashboard you will see the Copy of you template there, rename it to meet your needs and start working on it.

You can also share your templates with other people. Have a look at the 7 Google Docs Templates which you will love by GoogleTutor and start playing with them.
