Customize Your Google Background

Google has a feature that brings the personalization of Google a notch higher. Now, Google lets you add your favorite photo or image as the background of the Google homepage, replacing the plain white default of Google. Photos can be chosen from your computer, your own Picasa Web Album or a public gallery hosted by Picasa which includes a selection of beautiful photos.

Customizing Google.com with a background image will not slow the search engine's load time.

For those  who want to enjoy the clean, simple look of Google as well as the personalized view, Google made it  easy to switch between the customized search page and classic Google.

Customization is done by clicking the a link in the lower left-hand corner of Google.com that says "Add background image".
