Does anyone with an Apps account have the ability to preview the theme(s)? I don't, in my apps account. Yet another example of Google treating apps customers as 2nd class citizens. See also: account/login issues and lack of profiles (which means no Places, no Google+, and other products). Google is effectively ignoring what are often their best/most enthusiastic customers in by doing things like this. Very puzzling.

I have the theme turned on in my google apps account.

I completely agree about apps customers being treated like 2nd class citizens. I was not impressed when I found out I couldn't create a Google+ account due to lack of profiles, this will probably result in many of those people creating new Google accounts just to test those products out.

Theme is on for both mail and calendar in my apps account.

  Thanks for the reply. Odd that themes are available for some accounts but not others. I did find this help thread that originated in 2008(!) where others describe having the problem also: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google%20Apps/thread?tid=57924f37281864bb&hl=en http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google%20Apps/thread?t...

    In domain management, there is an option to turn on themes for e-mail users.

      Indeed, there is. I'd looked for it yesterday, but couldn't find it. Thanks for the tip!

  I don't have the new themes in my list of themes on my apps account.
  - tnorthcutt 15y ago
    Same here, actually. I did get themes turned on as per by srdjanjovcic's comment, but the new themes aren't available. Odd.

Do you control the Apps domain? Account admins have a lot of control over what is turned on or off under the accounts
- tnorthcutt 15y ago
  I do control the domain. Profiles are not admin-controllable. They simply don't exist for apps accounts.

I have three Google Apps accounts. The new themes are available in two of my three Google Apps accounts. I'm an admin on all three accounts, so I'm not sure why the new themes aren't available for some Google Apps users.

Yes, I also have an apps account and wanted to try out the new preview themes and Google+. I like to try new things and I'm sure a lot of Google Apps users are just like me. Google is missing out, but how do we inform them of it?

Yes. I did enable gmail themes in my Apps dashboard a few months ago and this isn't being treated different to other themes so far from what I can see.
