Orkut, one of the largest social-networks, recently came up with two new features for its users. Some of you must have noticed the Change Theme button at the top bar in your profiles. That applies only for some profiles that have got the official themes feature in their accounts. Yes, Orkut has officially added themes. According to the Orkut Blog, they have launched a set of 12 themes, out of which 10 are active, including the default Orkut Blue theme.

Orkut has a very nice feature for all the users who are bandwidth concious. If you have limited bandwidth and are addicted to Orkut, you can save a lot of your bandwidth by using Orkut in the low bandwidth mode. Since the biggest thing in size on a web-page are the images, they eat a lot of bandwidth but, this can be prevented thanks to a built-in feature by Orkut. After activating, it will remove all the unwanted images from the Friends Updates, Friend’s List and Communities and show only text

I’ve been getting lots of emails and requests to add more Orkut themes. I made a few searches and found some themes that worked well with Orkut. All the other old themes don’t work with Orkut now. Remember my old post about Orkut themes? Well, they don’t work any more. So that’s why I decided to share some new and working themes.

First you have to make sure that you meet all the requirements before you can start using these themes.

Requirements:

• Mozilla Firefox (Don’t have it? Download from here)
• Greasemonkey (An add-on for Firefox. Read more)

Now it’s time for the themes. Below is the list of all the best themes available at the moment. Let’s kick off the list with some Emma Watson! :)

UPDATE (June 9, 2008): You all must be waiting for my reply… Sorry, to make you wait, friends. A few days ago, these themes stopped working, and I was testing them if any of them could work in any way. But unfortunately, these themes are not compatible with the latest changes in Orkut. A new set of compatible and working Orkut themes will be posted by tomorrow. Keep checking back!

Isn’t it nice to chat with your buddies while you find and make new friends on Orkut? It’s about time I last posted about a Greasemonkey script.

I don’t think Greasemonkey needs any introduction. I have a habit to go through the GM scripts site after every few days and look for new and interesting scripts.

I’m not much a fan of Orkut, the social-networking daddy. But I do like using Facebook, since all my old mates and buddies are there. The script today I found is for Orkut, and with this, you can integrate Google Talk in your Orkut’s main page! Chat junkies are definitely going to live this! Now you don’t have to leave your browser anymore to chat with your friends.

I know Diwali was on Nov 9, and this post should have been made earlier this month. But Orkut already had a cool theme for this occasion. That theme was still available to be used a few days back, but it has been removed now.

Many people liked the theme, and wanted it to stay, but Orkut didn’t noticed this and removed it. But no worries folks! A guy called Mr. Nobody has made the same theme as a Greasemonkey script for Firefox users. Now you can enjoy the theme for as long as you want :)
