GMX should add more colours to their themes eg. Orange, red, black etc. Those available are becoming dull.

I would welcome a greater choice of colour with mine being green , silver. One persons dull however may well be anothers first choice.

In GMX's defense... How-on-earth is your email experience drastically enhanced because all of a sudden the bar on top is green or red etc. I can't believe this got 89 votes.

Functionelle? Performance? Security? Nah, let splash some colour around...

luka.dadiani@gmx.com 15 Apr 09 at 23:43

Just what it needs

apc@gmx.com 18 Apr 09 at 06:45

I agree, please add more colour options if possible.

stefanoscurati 21 Apr 09 at 13:54

more themes,like AOL Mail.

izhar 21 Apr 09 at 16:26

Please add more themes like Orange, Red, Crystal Black, etc...
(Themes should be Vista Style) if possible

Robust doesnt mean fancy.

Arcangel 22 Jun 09 at 09:12

Please add new color themes if you can. The color choices right now are great, but some of us want other colors that expresses ouselves.

WalkThruWalls 22 Jun 09 at 10:18

Completely unnecessary but, whatever.

dbb 23 Jun 09 at 13:02

I hope this one is put at the very bottom of the priorities. GMX has limited resources to make changes to a very carefully designed product and I would hate to think that one or more engineers are assigned to something as trivial as changing colors on the screen.

But I am not surprised that this is so popular. The cell phone companies are making a fortune selling replaceable faceplates to suckers who want different colored cellphones. I say if they will pay for it, then go ahead and provide it.

The same should be true for GMX. If you want something as trivial and non-functional as "non-dull colors" then you should have to pay a few bucks per month for that option.

This is also a good way to measure how badly you want the feature.

It would make it more personal if it had more colours to choose from that looked awesome. If its possible you should have some sort of background chooser, so you can use you own photos to personalize it even more. But I also agree with some other users, its not a necessity to have this, but it would be pretty awesome.

never mind colours, when will date format function be implemented?

donnakiabab 20 Jul 09 at 03:28

You say there should be a black colour mate, but as you will have already been told, there is a black colour to choose from. I expect you meant Deep Bloody Crimson, or Electric Blue Flake or even A cascading waterfall of Purple and Pink Droplets. Or my favorite, grey!!

kitts 20 Jul 09 at 17:44

unnecessary

Will 21 Jul 09 at 15:19

+1 for silver

jrgill 22 Jul 09 at 10:40

Please see my suggestion on having a color picker. Could anyone possibly disagree with that?

asailvr 7 Aug 09 at 12:40

I agree, could not find a good switch right off the bat.

Aidan Couturier 10 Aug 09 at 02:58

please add more couler themes! the ones we have now suck!

fengzi 11 Aug 09 at 19:06

Why not only add more color schemas (+1silver i do like as well) but also add the option to add a custom schema from a jpg or gif. You can try it out by setting requirements to a manageable resolution or size for the pic. Something really small cause I agree from the other comments that resources should focus more on the email functionality vs. some style. But then again everyone like to express themselves so....

fiona.bfeelectrical@gmx.com 19 Aug 09 at 13:55

Hi - i would like to see a delivery report, can you let me know if this is in the making :)

Trinity 25 Aug 09 at 16:18

i think that you should make a really really bright green purple and an orange!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1steve 25 Aug 09 at 18:33

Lower priority, but would be a good FMR in my opinion. Users should have the option to select a few different types of themes other than the default.

boisen@gmx.com 29 Aug 09 at 23:49

I think thats a great idea!

sugary99@gmx.com 12 Sep 09 at 02:17

you should sumit it it rocks from sugary99

sugary99@gmx.com 12 Sep 09 at 02:18

my colors would be tiffany blue and silver

Norman 21 Sep 09 at 15:06

Alongside colour schemes, being able to upload your own banner/background picture (like Windows Live Messenger) would be a good idea

bigbearliftingstones 22 Sep 09 at 16:41

Not only colors, but themes such as outdoors, sports, etc, the e-mail background is not so appealing.

mamoose 1 Oct 09 at 11:34

i think scenic designs would be nice

elmonje@gmx.com 3 Oct 09 at 20:56

I want a theme black, black,black and orange strongh..thank's

gggggg 17 Oct 09 at 13:40

dlbise@gmx.com 18 Oct 09 at 13:14

i thought bluetiful was the only colour

elt@gmx.com 1 Nov 09 at 00:41

I love your service however there sould be be options to set the beachground. we only have bleck, whote, blue and pink-----...

take it easy------

Asje B. 18 Nov 09 at 11:51

Some people, like me like colors. The three color themes that are available now are Ok for me, but more choice can't hurt. What would also be nice, is if you could set the type of letter and color you would like to write your email in, i.o. having to set that everytime again like now. Also, the signature is only in black. Would be nice to pick a specific letter type and color for that too.

mrsir2009 12 Dec 09 at 19:52

Yeah, some more nice colours would be nice. And maybe some themes, not just colours but things like stars etc...?

CallMeUnsurmountable 13 Dec 09 at 09:24

Sure seems the bottom of priorities for 8 months now...

Come on, these colours are dull as hell. Black/Blue are the only ones I'd pick. Silver is empty, mundane and boring, and pink... A refreshing change isn't that much to ask.

I care about appearance. Wouldn't intentionally buy & wear clothes I thought were ugly and dull, and of course I comb my hair before I go out. Perhaps not as much when it comes to email, because I think presentation is important for many reasons. I don't think I have to go through them because they are quite obvious, but a choice won't even harm a fly.

Asje B. 17 Dec 09 at 11:13

More color schemes would indeed be nice. What about the possibility to set your favorite font and color to type your messages, like with Outlook and the addition of using different signatures?

CFDA 28 Feb 10 at 20:24

I agree
