Orkut Theme Generator
ADVERTISEMENTS
One of most frequently asked question by Orkut users to me, is how to generate/create own custom orkut theme. By custom theme, they do not mean anything serious but just want to put their favorite actress’ wallpaper as background on orkut!
Thanks to Gaurav Dua, now any person can create such theme for orkut without any technical knowledge. Just head over to Orkut theme generator page and paste link to your favorite online pic. I linked to my favorite Devils workshop wallpaper created by Johnson. Next select a theme name and hit “Create Theme” button.
On next screen you will see link to your ready and hosted orkut theme.
This is basically a Greasemonkey script so you will need Firefox as well Greasemonkey extension to use this theme. Below is preview of Devils Workshop theme.
Please note one thing that theme created like this can be seen only by you. These are unofficial themes and can not be seen by your friends. If you want to “show” you style to your friends, you have to limit your choice to official Orkut themes only.

@Pavan & Deepak
Guys this is limitation of Greasemonkey.
Hi Pavan and Deepak.
I am the official coder of OrkutPlus.
It wont be possible to make others view your theme unless they install the same theme on their browser or to tell orkut to make them official or hacking orkut and changing theme
Only first thing is possible. Other cannot be……
@Gautam
I think sometime, Orkut should allow user to upload/edit CSS/HTML for their profile.
Something like MySpace is doing from long time.
Can we make theme that our friends can see?
@Shyjal
for that you need to use orkut official themes.
for now, orkut doesn’t allow you to make your friends you your own made theme.
simply excellent!
