What is Gmail Skinning? Gmail Skinning is a method first discovered on the persistent.info blog. We make use of the URLid extension in FireFox which basically assigns the domain of each site as the id attribute of the current page’s body tag. That means the browser can now differentiate domains by id (which is the name of the domain itself). Of course Mozilla 1.8a3 and later do in fact support per-domain CSS but since most users have upgraded to the latest version we’ll keep things current and focus our instructions on FireFox.

Gmail pun boleh skin skin gak, tapi untuk mozilla firefox sahaja ok.

1. install URLidMozilla/Firefox extension
2. Download CSS file ni
3. Locate folder firefox dan folder chrome dalam tu.
4. Copy fail CSS yang telah didownload ke dalam folder chrome.
5. Restart firefox anda dan cuba login ke akaun gmail anda untuk melihat kesannya.
