The first ever start page that I used, Netvibes, has been given a facelift.

For those of you who’re not aware what Netvibes is: it’s an AJAX based start page, where you could add your own modules ranging from email, calendars, to fun gaming, RSS Feeds and many more.

Now, four new colourful themes have been added, one dark, and another named ‘Fresh’ that’s got vivid colours, ‘Fluo’ with washed bluish colours and one more called ‘Veerle’ boasts of elegant tabs and rounded corners. The Plus is that you can create your very own custom themes by navigating to Settings >> Themes in the page. Pick up your favourite colours and pimp up your Netvibes AJAX start page.

Wallpapers can now be added as backgrounds to your page’s header and modules. You could either use the featured wallpapers or else you could take off pictures from Flickr, MySpace or twitter.
