Back in september 2008, we introduced a way for users to make their own theme, through a Theme API built to be compatible with iGoogle’s. At that time, we wrote that while we supported most of the features of the original format (and a few of our own), we couldn’t technically support dynamic themes. We’re [...]

Good news for Netvibes users: they now have a hundred more themes to choose from when deciding on their pages appearance. And this good news comes along with a probably even better one for both designers and developers: you can create your own Netvibes themes, and import themes from other theme-creators.

You might not have noticed it, but in addition to completely revamping our Ecosystem (you didn’t know? check it out!), we’ve been silently adding new functionalities here and there, for developers to play with.
