Google launches new iGoogle and artist themes

It looks like Google just launched the new version of iGoogle that developers have had access to in the sandbox for a while now. The new version is great -- and it gives developers a lot more flexibility when creating their gadgets because now it's possible to make a full page view.

Along with the new iGoogle look, users now have access to a host of "Artiest Themes" -- perhaps a new way of showing users a collection of good themes, rather than random, often junky ones.

Don't get me wrong, there are several great themes in the main theme directory, but these ones seem to be a little bit higher quality than the rest. Overall, this overhaul is a step in the right direction, and it's also great to know iGoogle is an active project inside the company.

What do you think? Are you digging the new look and themes?
