Ok, lets start with "customization" of Gmail. What you need is firefox browser as we are going to install firefox extension which will "transform" Gmail to different style. Since it is based on firefox extension, the changes will not apply across the PCs. The firefox extension that i mention is "Better Gmail 2". It add useful extra features and skins to Gmail, like hierarchical labels, macros, signatures, file attachment icons, and more. Download from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6076 and install it. Once installed, you may proceed change the settings in Tools -> Better Gmail 2. Below is the main screen of my Gmail (im using skin "Redesigned").

Default Google Theme?

I believe you are using the default theme the Google team is providing, if that is the case, you can only choose those available in the list. Or you can use any browser add-on to have more theme, like what blogged here...

Hi,

There were the workaround to change the gmail theme before Google launch their own theme setting. So, you still can use this theme(method) or use gmail's build-in theme..
