I'm saddened to find out that Google Background Images is being killed. One of my favourite features of Google is that I can set the background image to my homepage. This helps me know which GMail or Google Apps account I'm signed into.

Oh well, I wonder what Google have planned for the homepage if Background Images is being killed. Maybe a homepage like
Yahoo's?

Here is a quote of the announcement:
Background images are going away on November 16, 2012
Thank you for using background images. As we build a more streamlined Google Search page for everyone, we’ll no longer be able to support customization with background images. So you will no longer be able to see your background pictures starting November 16, 2012.
I'll miss seeing Wobbles (
@fatoldgingercat) on my Google homepage. Oh well, I hope something good is in store for us...
